i love the condos mansfield building currently under construction in downtown #montreal, especially for its curved windows, which are uncommon in the city.

Car accidents arrive because we’ve engineered our roads and our civilization to normalize them as a fact of life.

Just like how we’ve normalized the spread of COVID-19, how we’ve normalized the spread of scientific disinformation, and so much more.

Filming this diverter when an older man started complaining about mayor Valerie Plante.

He scoffed at the idea of reducing cars. I said I saw a cyclist killed once and that cars are the #1 threat to my child.

He said “I’ve never killed anyone” and “accidents happen” (“ça arrive, les accidents”).

at one point today, we were at humber college for over 15 minutes and a train never showed up.

revenue service demonstration is 1 week in. not looking good. thanks to crappy operations, i question if there's even enough trains to consistently run frequent <10 min service

Carshare is a fantastic tool to reduce the emissions, cost, and space requirements of private car ownership. Every carshare vehicle replaces 7-10 private ones!

This is great news for Ottawa-Gatineau and really wonderful to see a regional approach to seamless, sustainable transportation.

mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social · 12d

Car sharing across Ottawa – Gatineau is coming soon. I was pleased to join Maude Marquis-Bissonette, Mayor of Gatineau, and Councillor Tim Tierney to announce the launch of Communauto’s FLEX carsharing service starting mid-October.

c’est un peu caché dans l’article, mais le 664 millions inclut également les infrastructures municipales!

« la facture totale du projet, financé en grande partie par québec, devrait atteindre 664 millions de dollars, ce qui inclut les infrastructures municipales refaites au même moment. »

it’s true! and there’s also a dispute about a hydroelectricity deal made a long time ago. (look up churchill falls.)

not only does red paint make it clear that a lane is for buses only, but it’s also very good branding to promote public transit.

august 🍂 @auguststreet.ca · 20d

a very new red-painted left-turn queue jump at yonge and eglinton 😊 buses were allowed to turn left here, but this treatment makes clear that the left turn lane is *only* for buses.

when the crosstown opens it will be useful for the handful of remaining feeder buses that run on eglinton

red queue jump lane in the median of a 3 lane street with bike lanes. urban setting with dense midrise buildings around
