Coal mining has poisoned the Elk River. And now former premier John Horgan is part of the problem. No wonder the NDP has such a poor environmental record. theglobeandmail.com/politics…
My biggest fear about encouraging my teen to be independent and an active transportation user.
And this intersection is considered to be the “safest” route to school for FRMS

I was so excited to see new trees being planted in Toronto Place Park this morning! I know when I walk up the hill in the summer I can feel the temperature difference once I cross Royal. Hooray for MOAR TREES! #newwest

I talked to a city traffic engineer and it turns out one of the reasons we don’t have real protected bike lanes is because drivers don’t like it when they hit concrete barriers and damage their cars so cyclists are left with plastic sticks and paint for protection.
“Why are you riding in the road when you have a bike lane?”
I don’t know, you tell me!

There’s a city in my service area that plows toward the center of the street rather than continually filling in driveways and sidewalk ramps with every pass and I guess I don’t understand why more cities don’t do this. Natural traffic calming and easy straight-time cleanup too.
Priorities
ALT A sidewalk with an inch of snow on it and 1 pedestrian, an empty bike lane with 8 inches of snow, a road with bare pavement and a little bit of slush and 1 car
Snow day and on vacation, what better way to spend an evening than watching the curling

I posted the original to Facebook and a friend made this. Perhaps dressing Loki in a Santa suit was not my best idea.

Spending $400k (more than the library requested!) to remove active transportation infrastructure so that drivers can rip through the park faster… I hate it.
ABC's approach to the budget echoes what I heard in my meeting. Commit to spending on ideological signals, hope you can budget and message your way out later. #vanpoli
