The cycleway in the Netherlands goes behind a petrol station to avoid any conflict with vars coming in or out of the petrol station. Such a small detail, but it makes cycling safer and more seamless, just smart, stress-free design. This is how you do infrastructure right.

One of the greatest wins corporate PR pulled off in the U.S. is convincing the vast majority of journalists that an activist is biased and agenda-driven and thus an unreliable source, but a CEO must be quoted in every story in order to lend it credibility and "balance."

I think all winter cities suffer from this. The Edmonton city councillor who sponsored our WinterCity Strategy claimed that the messy, dirty, freeze-thaw period of early spring “gives winter a bad name”. 😄

Not hard to understand, but hard to ‘read’. If we used the Dutch red carpet as a standard for bike lanes in Canada, it would make reading the separate spaces so much easier. Also, it would be easier for maintenance crews to realise they weren’t clearing the sidewalk fully.

Hey friends.
This is just between 1200 of you and me.
If you think my back alley bakery is a worthwhile business that should exist into the future, would you be so kind as to place an order online?
If not, that's cool too.
