Down with the new fancy tech, up with the traditional rail electrification!
No, hydrogen trains aren't as good as they sound.

If Edmonton is falling behind, then Halifax is going backwards. Edmonton has invested significantly in bike network and transit so far and there's more transit building.

Such a weird rhetoric that Edmonton is "falling behind", and that significant change in council is how we catch back up

We have made so many moves in the past 4 years to reduce our infrastructure debt, get transit to new area, modernize zoning and development

Like I don't get the mindset here

Build High-speed-train lines. Give people alternative options because this will defnitely happen in the future and god knows how long each one would last.

This is common in the Netherlands, not a bike lane but a whole bike street that drivers can access slowly and carefully. Now England will try it.

Motorists will have to give way to cyclists on "Cycle Street" on Adams Road, Cambridge.

England’s first “Cycle Street” will give priority to cyclists and pedestrians over motorists

Work has started on Adams Road, Cambridge, to remove on-road parking, widen footpaths and redesign junctions to make walking and cycling safer

Shouldn't HRM be taking actual climate emergency actions? There are so many municipalities in Canada that declared "climate emergency" but no city is actually taking any emergency action.

30c in October, this is not normal but who cares about the ongoing climate change despite HRM declaring "climate emergency" 6 years ago?

When newly-elected Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson started converting car lanes to bike lanes in 2009, pundits claimed it was political suicide. In 2018, he stepped down after three terms as the longest-serving mayor in the city's history. So what can this tale teach us about so-called "bikelash"?🧵

People of all ages and abilities ride bicycles on protected cycling infrastructure on the streets of Downtown Vancouver.
