Final version of the map made for Christmas! I think it looks pretty good.
I have not been paying attention to the NDP leadership race, and sorta just assumed McPherson was gonna sweep.
Very interested to see what is gonna happen here...

Getting to Calgary Trail or Gateway sucks 👎
Awful transit service and inconsistent sidewalks mean that the thousands of workers and shoppers who come here daily are forced onto two traffic-clogged roads
That could all change with Edmonton's bus rapid transit plan

I’ve never seen the Century Park bike parkade this busy! Especially in January
This is doubly impressive given that to access it you have to go downtown and fill out a form that the service center people don’t even know exists, to get a blank white card that only works at this one place

🚨Want to know which Canadian companies are profiting off of ICE and Trump’s violent mass deportation agenda?
Well I just spent the last few days digging into exactly that.
Here are the companies I found, how much they’re making, and whether they’re getting Canadian taxpayer dollars.

Riding a 10 bus across SE Portland at 7:30 AM.
Before Covid, this bus would've gotten more crowded approaching downtown.
Now the load is constant with frequent turnover.
Demand for transit is still high but less centralized. Frequent bus grids excel at this.

For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.
Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
That’s what we have to change.

Toronto implemented bus lanes within a week of the council decision. I'd like to see Ottawa move with that same hustle.
I’ve heard from many residents frustrated at the state of the bus service in #Ottawa. They are looking for answers. This needs to be treated like an emergency watermain repair. It is a critical service that can not be allowed to flounder in this way. Two immediate solutions need to be considered:

In Edmonton we talk a lot about our deficit of industrial land, yet our office parks are filled with small grocery stores, cafes, and other shops that would be much better placed within neighbourhoods.

Legalize Cafes Everywhere!
Municipal codes should allow for the operation of cafes in most residential areas to free up space for businesses who actually need larger commercial buildings.

Very interested what comes of the route 7 when the Valley Line West opens
It follows a similar route, but since it has local stops it could be a great ridership builder
My main hope is we see frequent service on 107 ave all the way to 101 street

Crazy idea: Pick what you want Whyte Ave. to be. This hybrid of a trucking route, high street, pedestrian zone, emergency vehicle route, and main east-west vehicle connector feels mediocre or worse for all users.

It's not like it's a census year or anything...
Quite frankly, it’s outrageous that Mark Carney is cutting Statistics Canada. If he was Stephen Harper or Pierre Poilievre, I feel like this would be getting a lot more backlash.
Carney of all people should know the importance of high-quality data and information about the country.
