Great post on how our unsafe trucks (they’d never be allowed in Europe) kill so many pedestrians, and how our governments and companies do almost nothing about it despite endless safety theatre.

A crossing guard dies in Hamilton, Ontario, due to regulatory failure and bad design

There's enough room for a separated & protected multi use path alongside the most highway sections. What if we start building MUP along the highways now?

About to say goodbye forever to American grown produce.
The EPA is moving forward with approvals for pesticides containing “forever chemicals” as an active ingredient, dismissing concerns about health and environmental impacts raised by some scientists and activists.
Here’s what to look out for:

Regular reminder Korea collects $1B in speed & red light fine. And they have proven themselves over a couple of decades. They improve road safety for everyone, especially drivers. Sectional cameras also reduced crash rates in problematic road sections.
In today’s least surprising local news, speed display signs aren’t enough to make our roads safer.
Speed display signs only slow drivers down by 1km/h: Halifax report
Halifax has installed nearly 50 speed display signs around the municipality, but on average they only slow down drivers by less than one km/h, according to a new staff report.

Me thinks Halifax should build an elevated or underground light metro line since using CN corridor isn't an option for any type of urban passenger rail. And this would be an attractive election bait for the next provincial election. Hey Tim, take this bait for Halifax lefties!

One of the most controversial things I discovered in my #CrossChannelRail work is that the Avelia Horizon trains ordered by Eurostar do not comply with existing Channel Tunnel evacuation rules in the case of a controlled stop

Watching a Korean documentary about Seoul public transit history. Seoul used to have very slow trams (10km/h) and decided to scrap them all in favour of then-faster buses. In addition to a subway line.

Feels like this parking spot on Devonshire shouldn't exist, or should be moved forward like 8ft. I'd say about 50% of my commute homes have someone partially parked in the bike lane.

This isn't one size fits all solution but for cities with high downtown office vacancy rate (Halifax at 11% Calgary at 30%). This should come with a good number of businesses in the building too.
The City of #Calgary has released the details of nine new projects through its downtown office conversion program, creating close to 1,000 homes and bringing the total number of projects to 21.

About a couple months ago, I had a chat with 2 halisky people and I vented out that Canadian politics system is just too stupid.
We also have a mayor that didn't have a clue what the mayor does. He straight up admitted that a month or two after being elected.
