Vancouver’s West End is the densest neighbourhood in Canada. Its mix of housing includes lots of apartment towers.
I highly recommend anyone who thinks tall buildings ruin neighbourhoods to visit. It really is a nice experience.

Ughhh TTC board is being so dodgy on talking openly about signal priority
Matlow is pushing for transparency and they keep saying no we’ll talk about it “in camera” (closed private session)
They say it’s to “preserve their relationship with metrolinx”

In response to Ontario’s legislation banning bike lanes that remove car lanes, Toronto is trying to find space for new bike lanes by narrowing (rather than removing) car lanes.
I feel for any active transportation professionals in Ontario right now, having to work around this boneheaded law.

If you go to a suburban mall, you will probably have to park outside and walk in. You don’t expect to drive in to your store.
But for some reason in urban areas it’s considered an injustice if you can’t park directly in front of the store you want to go to.
