I just saw a young guy standing at a bus stop. A homeless person in the shelter was gathering his belongings to put in a shopping cart. As he was bent over the cart started to roll away. The man walked over to stop it and held it for him while he loaded it. Neither said a word.
I thought the urbanist community would support an appeal mechanism, considering how many complaints I see here daily about the decisions made by our democratically elected City Councillors.

I can almost see my house in this picture. Without the tree canopy, it really becomes clear how low density and single use River Heights was and is. I love my neighbourhood, but don't see why this is a model to aspire to today.

Does this mean we shouldn't be building condos right next to the downtown CN rail line at the Forks? @brent_bellamy @TheForks

I hope we don't use bike tire treads in the snow as a tool to gauge the width needed for bike lanes 😁

Or, do what I did. Buy your dream home in River Heights and make sure you have 2 cars because it's way cooler to live the suburban lifestyle in River Heights than it is in Bridgwater.

Regardless of what side you're on, planning by anecdote is not a good approach.

Driving does make me smile. That's why I drive a sports car sometimes. Walking is cool too though!

Collisions @cityofwinnipeg I’ve compiled interesting reports & newly released MPI maps. Factual data. Wpg collision Report, Top 50 collision locations, pedestrian-vehicle collisions & more. janicelukes.ca/blog/collision… check traffic volume maps! Grim data 4 sure #wpgpoli #mbpoli
Interestingly enough, most of Waverley West is actually more dense than urbanist havens like Wolseley, Riverview, and my beloved River Heights. The proportion of multifamily housing in Waverley West is also higher than in those neighbourhoods. @JaniceLukes knows
In the Exchange??? I can't believe it. There are so many "eyes on the street" in this area.

Visiting the walkable medieval and 19th century cores of European cities is refreshing. But too often we imply that this is what "Europe" is like everywhere. It would be like a European visiting the Exchange District and saying how dense, walkable, and urban Winnipeg is.

Is cycling in Winnipeg really this bad, or is a lot of it hyperbole? Lots of posts lately like "Today on my ride home, 6 drivers swore at me, 4 truck drivers tried to hit me on purpose, I almost died 3 times, and 18 cars just about clipped me". @BikeWinnipeg @mmarginet
Urbanist math template: Invest "x dollars" into latest urban buzzword or trend. Result: "20x dollars" in savings to "y jurisdiction", generally on things like healthcare, policing costs, etc. Very cool. Why aren't more cities investing when the benefits are so obvious!

Sunday confession: When I'm biking, I hate aggressive motorists who don't give me enough space on the road. When I'm driving, I get frustrated with cyclists who take up too much lane and don't stop at stop signs.
Most of my neighbours love infill, I swear! Just not too much in River Heights please, and most certainly on our block...

@Urban_Hypocrite "River Heights Urbanist needs to pay ohryan $5 every day because this text is in a quote."
@Urban_Hypocrite The text you're referring to seems to be under the "private approaches" section. You're right thought, I did misinterpret my original post. I glossed over the "resulting from sidewalk clearing." Linden woods has no sidewalks so this doesn't apply. Brilliant.

Taking the kids to see my old office
Looking back at pics from the past month and this student's project still blows my mind. Each brick and shingle were individually cut from foam board. There was an accompanying manor house but she only had room to bring one building to school with her.
@CarmenN1955 @NorthernDagger1 The reason I ask is that I can’t find that data on the @proberesearch website. Beyond that, data at the riding level would require a massive poll of Manitobans in every riding. I haven’t heard of such a poll.
@timruntz I too ran the full marathon today,finishing in 4:49. I have no complaints about the police. They told me the course was closed & I was proceeding at my own risk.They were still actively traffic controlling at mile 19. I understand “proceed at your risk” means it’s MY decision.
I have a vision of Barry Trotz showing off his true Manitoban by signing multi million dollar contract with Jets and then scouring twitter for every single offer he has received from folks in this province. "Hey ___, Barry Trotz here, new coach of Wpg, I need my free ________".

@Urban_Hypocrite @buckdoyle @roadtoserfdumb As best as I can tell, the Stradbrook one seems to be a standard sidewalk that cyclists are permitted to use (through bikes yield to pedestrian signage).
If you can cut a three meter wide hole in your street and both lanes still function normally, your street might be too wide (and ripe for a bike lane).
