I really wish #HamOnt was serious about housing reform. Hamilton's low density 4plex zoning maxes out at 10.5m, while Waterloo just approved 13.5m. reducing restrictions to building more housing: bsky.app/profile/philmarfisi…
#HamOnt Today, the @cityofhamilton celebrated National Housing Day. We talk a lot about the need for affordable housing, so I’d like to show you what we have accomplished! Join me as I take you all on a tour of a couple exciting builds across the city! 🏙️ 🏠

The day has arrived.
45 years after pedestrians were first barricaded from crossing the street at Winnipeg’s storied Portage and Main intersection, the concrete walls have finally started coming down.

The Ontario Conservatives have a rich history of transportation policy failures including:
-Filling in an under construction subway
-Selling a massive highway (now worth $30+B for $3B)
And now, tearing out one of the continents best bike networks.

It's wild that Ford is spending Northern Ontarian's money to rip out bike lanes in Toronto.

To all the haters and losers (of which, sadly, there are many) who say "we can't have lifesaving bike lanes in Toronto because we get six months of winter" - it's the end of November, and hundreds of people came out to ride in memory of two cyclists killed by drivers. #bikeTO
"people who don't drive don't have an interest in speed management" is... a take! yikes

not the first time danko has made this leap: "it's actually all the people who disagree with me who are making this necessary".
once again shocked but not at all surprised by how low @JohnPaulDanko will go
Requesting @fordnation use of the notwithstanding clause to temporarily overrule the Charter is a very serious decision for #HamOnt
Unfortunately, encampment supporters have left Ontario municipalities little choice to ensure resident's rights are respected.

Letter from CEO of Sinai Health (Mount Sinai hospital etc.) noting that the *majority* of their employees cycle to work, and they want protected bike lanes (Mount Sinai hospital is on University Ave.) toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2020… (PDF) h/t @GraphicMatt
if you let this happen to your property, you should lose it
I just got back from Gore Park where a heritage building collapsed due to neglect by its owners. I spoke with the Fire Chief who said they need to investigate the structure to determine next steps. They have done some fly overs with drones but need to excavate to be sure. #HamOnt

It started out 2 Fridays ago as a meme,
last Friday it became a movement (now with detractors). Apparently around 600,000-400,000 people from all over China on Friday and Saturday night (Oct 8 and 9) came to Zhengzhou and sharebiked from Zhengzhou to Kaifeng to... (a thread)
if you've been on the fence about bluesky, this weekend has been a huge turning point. a lot of urbanist, cycling, energy ppl showing up over there as they realize that hanging out on a white supremacist site owned by Trump's closest billionaire friend isn't fun

The cowardice of hiding your faces while feeling emboldened to put forward hateful propaganda in our communities. This is Hamilton, and we will NOT tolerate racist, white-nationalism. Show your faces so you can be held accountable for your actions.

BREAKING: Last night, Kingston Ontario (where I’m working this week) City Council passed a motion supporting the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s call for the Provincial Government to leave decisions on bike-lanes to municipal jurisdiction.
Will YOUR city do the same?
Bill 212 is really bad for Toronto. that said, the bike infrastructure printer can and will continue to go "brrrrr"
Davenport #BikeTO looking good.
Foreshadowing. What Harbord Hoskin will look like a year from now with separated Bikeways, green infrastructure and our new "flat" more accessible concrete separation standard between parking and the bikeway
(No lanes removed)
