Sensational evening colours at West Eau Claire #peacebridge

Banff back, to the future…two generations later👍👍

[Rail For Alberta @RailAlberta]

A robust transportation system in Banff using trains and buses would be very beneficial to the Town that's overburdened with private vehicles.

[Don Mulligan @take5tenfour]

Fantastic news for Calgary👍👍 Perfect goal, perfect plan to achieve the goal and perfectly worded. And wording matters most for this topic🤓🥳@yyccc

Coming to Calgary, as the city’s new GM of Planning and Development, Timothy Keane.

I support The Sprawl. Consider the same. https://t.co/G5sAyqMzKV @fundjournalism
They provide high quality, in depth, fair, relevant information in a world increasingly with a dearth of the same🤓👍

The power of good urban planning🤓👍👍

[Bloomberg CityLab @CityLab]

These ideas read like an anthology of what U.S. urban planning got right — and wrong.

Fantastic to see the Peace Bridge back in form and more resilient than ever🥰🥳‼️ Thanks @yyccc @yyctransport @YYCTKW

[Tiny Beaches has moved to BlueSky @TinyBeaches]

Peace Bridge is finally reopened with the new railings.
😀👍

@TinyBeaches @JohnsHopkinsSPH Visit Canmore’s Spring Creek Drive, built much narrower than normal, to experience a dramatically slower & safer busy street. It still serves 1,000+ units (an entire community), has fantastic pedestrian & wheeling facilities & NO speeding issues! @TownofCanmore

[Don Mulligan @take5tenfour]

👍👍AI generated fly-through previews of best routes & times for walking, cycling and auto trips in select major cities coming to Google Maps soon‼️🥳

👍👍 This north-south cycle track is critical connection to all Centre City east-west cycle tracks. 1 St SE was the ‘sacrificial lamb’ that ensured 8-7 vote to proceed with trial. Serves high density office & residential & connects Bow River to Elbow River! @yyccc

[Red Mile Complete Street Advocacy Group @RedMileCSAG]

It is great to see a spark back in the #yycbike community, especially with the recent #CriticalMassYYC ride. We played great defense on 3rd Ave but perhaps we're overdue on playing offense. 1st St SE cycle tracks were originally planned in 2014. It's time to complete the street!!

[Don Mulligan @take5tenfour]

Banff & Canmore Alberta Main Streets = similar👍🥰😎

[Jennifer Keesmaat @jen_keesmaat]

Cities dominated by cars don’t deliver on much of the promise of urban life: they are loud, unsafe, annoying to get around. Terrible for seniors and children.

In Montreal you can hear the birds this summer. Children play and old men linger in the heart of the city. Why? Pedestrianization streets.

[Don Mulligan @take5tenfour]

Under-appreciated benefit of Main streets in Banff & Canmore, open to pedestrians, wheelers & transit riders only, is the noise level and the type of noise. This short video captures the difference. Listen & compare to your own busy street🤓👍@banffmayor @TownofCanmore

[Tiny Beaches has moved to BlueSky @TinyBeaches]

The all electric @roamtransit is amazingly quiet. 🤩
Love the bell to let people in this private-vehicle free zone know it’s there.👍
Notice the other sounds you can hear?
@banffmayor

[Don Mulligan @take5tenfour]

@brettbergie We were told new Peace Bridge railings would be completed ‘early spring 2023’ and now the on site signage says ‘late fall 2023’ completion‼️A main tourist attraction and our prime walking/jogging/wheeling/cycling season diminished‼️😩Explanation? @YYCCC @YYCTKW

[Don Mulligan @take5tenfour]

@TinyBeaches @calgarytransit @CalgaryParking @SafewayCanada @kensingtonYYC Fantastic idea👍but needs to be VERY secure. Just one block south, 8 nice bikes stolen in last month from ‘secure’ parkade bike room with cameras, heavy duty door hardware/steel plate frame. Thieves brazen, unchallenged, using steel grinders to beat locks😩@yyccc @YYCTKW

[Don Mulligan @take5tenfour]

@GiantBlueRing Building off the 'Barbenheimer' weekend, I suggest this latest Twitter twist be branded 'TwiX'😏

[Don Mulligan @take5tenfour]

@TinyBeaches @LiveWireCalgary Nonsensical statement from Dennis H. No brainer to keep/make 3 Ave cycle track permanent. Connects to 5 St & 7 St cycle tracks, saves $ (ALREADY IN PLACE so keep), takes pressure off busy river pathway, Council approved, direct. Avoids huge process required for new CT #yyccc

[Don Mulligan @take5tenfour]

@banffmayor @BanffNP Same sounds as current Banff Ave except for the occasional ‘ding ding’ of a Roam bus👍👍🥳😎

[Henk Swarttouw @copenhenken]

The main trends in everyday #cycling today:
- e-bikes (changing the paradigm)
- cargo-bikes (changing city logistics)
- share-bikes (changing public transport)
- cycling tourism (changing leisure)
- economic potential (changing investment)

Interesting to see demand for small functional affordable pickup truck in North American market where ONLY trucks available are huge, cab plus, fully loaded expensive trucks. Perhaps cost & parking challenges will shift some demand (& supply) back to reasonable size trucks?

[Ryan Johnson @ryanmjohnson]

I love this headline so much. People that actually need a truck want a small one

[Don Mulligan @take5tenfour]

Kudos to Lime for achieving sustainability AND profitability via complete redesign of e-scooters and e-bikes. Interchangeable batteries, modular parts & much longer lifespan=enduring micromobility @BrentToderian 🥳👍

[Lime @limebike]

Many doubted there was a path to profitability for shared micromobility.

We thought otherwise. 📈 💰

Our VP of Sustainability shares how Lime leveraged sustainability to achieve profitability.
