I've been looking at transit walksheds to compare cities recently, and I found that if the BRT network were built as light rail, it would be similar in scale and captured population to Edmonton's LRT, with any one line easily matching Waterloo's.

This is a nice city sometimes.

It's funny how obvious it is we massively over build our road infrastructure. But reclaiming even the tiniest bit of space for AT or other uses is somehow "too expensive".

Now I know that hard, verifiable, data collected directly by the city pales in comparison to the "common sense lived experience" of our rural councillors, but...

I'm too tired to make sarcastic remarks about how today has been a middle finger to all the process and work that's been done to this point. All I can do is stare at the tabs of staff reports that were done years ago and sigh.

My personal favourite, just because I have to walk through it regularly, is this combined failure of pedestrian and bike "facilities" in Bayer's Lake. Bike gutters starting mid-block, and the sidewalk not even gracefully dumping you onto a shoulder.

Ferries are pretty cool. We should have more of them.

For a city/metro barely scraping 500k, did not that badly I think.

To support some of your points - my condo building is currently undertaking the process of installing EV chargers. While total electrical capacity was a concern, especially with many units installing heat pumps, an assessment found that really wasn't an issue - thanks to load management.

Ty, an utter rascal who is lucky they're so cute.

Charlie is the best pupper, who I don't get to be around nearly often enough.
