"The Ontario Liberals, NDP & Greens all came together to call on the government to bring forward new rules in a rare show of united opposition. At an event on Wednesday morning, the three parties & advocates called for urgent action from the government." globalnews.ca/news/10308014/…

"The rise in pedestrian and cyclist deaths is first and foremost a product of design: design of cities, design of streets, design of vehicles. To the extent that we can trace it to behavior, it is behavior that has been inculcated by those design choices." nytimes.com/2023/10/28/opi…
It’s the last week for @GOtransit @Metrolinx service to and from #StratfordON. Hoping that GO can offer an alternative that will get the growing number of @PerthCounty commuters who rely on this service where they need to go. @PrabSarkaria

After 2 teenagers died from being struck while biking on the sidewalk of Old Georgetown Road, the State Highway Administration installed 3 miles of protected bike lanes. The result? Virtually no change in driving time, but a plunge in fatalities and tripling of bicycle traffic.
This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes break traffic laws while riding, yet 66% of people do so when driving. And if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid forbes.com/sites/carltonr…
Community volunteers, seasonal City workers and members of Stratford’s Energy & Environment Committee were busy today weeding the planting beds on the crib walls along the north side of Lake Victoria. These not only help to prevent erosion, but also contribute to biodiversity.
Standing ovation for @LadyKocho for asking the question- when is enough, enough?!? Having zero tolerance for violence and harassment means NOT tolerating it. @WomenofOntSayNo @SteveClarkPC @Charmomof5 @CBCNews @TheAgenda @TheCurrentCBC
This Spanish city centre has been car-free for 20 years. 12k people have moved into the centre since the ban. The Mayor says vehicles don’t have more right to public space than people — & he’s been re-elected 4 times since banning cars. Pontevedra via @wef
On April 4, 2021 @SteveClarkPC was clear that this government has ZERO tolerance for violence and harassment. Let’s see it. We NEED to close the gap for municipally elected officials. This CAN’T wait. It’s making communities sick. @WomenofOntSayNo @Charmomof5 @AMOPolicy
City design is making cities hotter. Here’s the fix: the hottest spots in cities have less than 6% vegetation cover, while the coolest spots in most cities have over 70%. Add trees everywhere to cool cities. forbes.com/sites/jamiehai…
Our streets have an enormous impact on our lives: How are they designed and for whom? Cars or people? Choosing the latter increases the autonomy of children; improves sociability among citizens; and creates more gender, age, and ability-equitable places. modacitylife.com/curbing-traffic
Humans outlive their ability to drive safely by ten years, yet most cities are built on the assumption they’ll do it forever. To allow for successful aging in place, we must rethink our car-first streets and provide amenities within a short walk or roll. john-adams.nl/the-age-friend…

We put forward a common-sense solution to make the 407 toll-free for commercial trucks - which would reduce congestion, help boost our economy, and eliminate the need for spending billions on Highway 413. But instead of working together, the Conservatives voted it down. #onpoli
A striking difference between two east-west highways: bumper-to-bumper traffic on the 401 while the 407 is nearly deserted. Despite a push from the NDP, the Ford government refuses to make the 407 toll-free for commercial trucks. Full story: toronto.citynews.ca/video/2024/03/…
