Wasted time, wasted money, projects halted halfway through, all because the premier can't be Mayor of Toronto and so now he's got to impose his pigheaded will on everyone. This is infuriating. GOD I hope he's never Prime Minister.
Ottawa says new provincial bill likely kills at least 3 bike lane projects | CBC News
New provincial legislation prohibiting how municipalities can build bike lanes means three projects in Ottawa likely can't move forward and others will get more expensive, according to a city report.

The Ford F150 is obviously the correct choice of vehicle to transport long boxes of supplies and equipment around town on a rainy day. Yep, nothing could possibly go wrong. Pickup trucks are just useful like that, rather than a cargo bike, cargo van, or even a Honda Fit.

Tonight: Driver just comes to a dead stop on a green light when there's no traffic in front of him, nearly getting me hit by a turning taxi ... then they just continue driving up the street. I'm familiar with drivers being psychos, but was this one confused, "being polite" to the taxi, or just lost?

Honestly I don't even know why I have an UNCOUNTABLE number of lights on my bike: front, sides, spokes, rear, helmet, a whole string of blinky lights on the frame; when drivers still just do their thing right through a red light without noticing it or me! This close to serious injury tonight. 🙃

Had a bit of an "oh deer!" 🦌 moment on this morning's #winterbike. Those creatures can really move fast when they want/need.

Okay #autowa, no more roads for you until you learn to use the ones you've got correctly. Tonight was several drivers in a row with their lights off after dark, jamming up an intersection that they can't clear, mistaking a two-way street for a one-way and driving right at me to get around a turner.

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
— Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.

Road safety is NOT a shared responsibility. Responsibility scales with the danger you bring. The only way we're going to stop killing people is if we get serious about changing road design in ways that make it uncomfortable to speed. Asking people to "please do better" is a cop out. #yyccc #yyc

So, uh ... funny story from this afternoon's ride about a car on the MUP ... specifically a Ville de Gatineau car on a NCC MUP section; was nearly a whole let less funny since I was coming around a blind corner.
