The country that claims to value independence is terrified of childhood independence.

Speed tables reduce crashes because they force people to slow down.

What does it take to move 1000 people? Better infrastructure supporting mobility choices that don’t take up so much space (or produce so much emissions/pollution, cost so much public money, etc).

Bike lanes keep people safe, move people efficiently, make our city more accessible to more people, and reduce our emissions. If Premier Ford really wanted to reduce gridlock, he’d add bike lanes and help fund transit operations. William van Geest, Ecology Ottawa) #ottbike

It is a really jarring moment to be a historian. To know what might be coming is alarming. To realize that no one around you sees it or acknowledges it is a weird place to be in. Its like time traveling without time traveling. 1/8

Amazing, simple urbanism all over Mexico City. I will never understand why LA can’t do this.

Minneapolis built 76 miles of bike lanes, and the biking increases looked like this:
⬆️ 69% on protected bike lanes
⬆️ 26% on on-street bike lanes
⬆️ 10% on streets without bike lanes

#RoadViolence Deliberately drove over some teen boys, breaking one of their arms - suspended sentence, community service. Still legal to drive:

Bike lane plans were studied for years. Then pilot lanes were installed, and studied for years.
When the designs were made permanent, they were refined further.
These are not "poorly installed lanes". It's propaganda from *poorly installed politicians* lying their asses off.
Poorly installed bike lanes have only worsened Toronto’s record-breaking gridlock, making us the worst city for traffic in North America.
It’s time to take action - that’s why we are removing Bloor, University and Yonge Street bike lanes.

One of the most obvious things to do if you really want to make cities better for people, and thus more successful, safe and enjoyable, is make our sidewalks bigger and better. This one is worth a read. #CitiesForPeople sociallifeproject.org/double…

Mercifully, the city never installed bike lanes on Wellington and traffic moves freely!

Humans are creating the third great extinction. If we don't change - 99.9% of critically endangered species will be lost & it will take the earth more than 3 million yrs to recover.
We have solutions to the #climate crisis, implement them. #ActOnClimate

Six people have been killed riding their bikes in Toronto this year--more than the previous three years combined.
Bill 212 won't solve traffic congestion. Bill 212 will put lives at risk. Why is the province reopening old wounds for families who have already suffered?

Nothing to see here, just an SUV owner doing a few attempted murders with his vehicle, but it's fine because he's a hard-working driver who was just "irritated".
Thank goodness he has avoided jail and is still allowed to drive.
