Meanwhile there’s council candidates in Elmwood-East Kildonan who want to get rid of school zones. Vote Emma instead.

I think it's sad the system expects people to walk their bikes.

There is no shortage of entitled parents parking on the sidewalk, endangering students at my kids' school.

I got to speak at the World Bicycle Forum about my book this weekend. I was touched by the encouraging feedback and so excited for the new connections made.

What do the three locations have in common?

They all have speed limits of 50km/h or higher. At that speed the risk of fatality is almost 80%.

Scott Gillingham and Janice Lukes won’t give us any traffic calming on Wellington Cres, but a large crowd of neighbours walking and talking about the missing pilot project by the side of the road did slow a lot of drivers tonight. Still, plenty of speeders.

New study from Melbourne finds reducing residential speed limits from 50km/h to 30 km/h on local roads would protect cyclists from danger, make riding less stressful and get more people cycling while not causing traffic delays for cars.
Switching 50km/h speed limits to 30km/h would protect cyclists while barely affecting commutes, research finds
One expert says a cyclist hit by a car travelling 50km/h has about a one-in-ten chance of surviving, while at 30km/h it was a nine-in-ten chance

Public education campaign directed at drivers, ha, good one!

The most dangerous part is the inconsistency. Pick one design and apply it everywhere, plus public education campaign to show everyone what to do.

Driver establishing themselves in the bike lane was the previous design, called a dashed bike lane. The new design and new signs are very clear, drivers yield to the cyclist in the bike lane. Cross the bike lane in the intersection.
The advice you got was wrong.

Most often just absolutely distracted. I watch drivers eyes and it's surprising how often they are gazing into infinity. Straight ahead.

The right hook is one of the most common and dangerous driver fails.

Too entitled to follow the most basic of rules.
And no, they did not yield to the person on the bicycle.

Simple way to avoid car companies bricking your vehicle by installing a forced software update: make sure your vehicle is a bicycle.
