In other countries, where gas taxes are high, large private vehicles are comparatively rare. Some places have also moved to reduce the appeal of SUVs and light trucks, mostly through higher-cost parking and registration. In Canada, though, such measures remain rare. Children hit…

The entire way we talk about the carbon tax is completely stupid. The entire point of a carbon tax is to make pollution so expensive people stop doing it! Trying to make the carbon tax affordable is like trying to make an atheist go to church, it defeats the entire point!
Induced demand isn't just a roads thing - it applies to public transit as well.
At the @APTA_info conference, a Vancouver, Canada public transit planner said that they keep increasing frequencies to address overcrowding, but it just induces more ridership so the crowding comes back. We haven't begun to saturate the market for fixed route bus service in…
@GiulioCescato Thoughtful and considered. Kudos! Mission creep without a cause.
Hey all, I wrote an article for Spacing! I'd appreciate it if you give it a read. This segues into the discussion about the 25 m separation distance this morning, a lot of what we take as gospel are just choices and sometimes they're the wrong ones. spacing.ca/toronto/2022/0…
We've had the technology to fix this for decades and the rest of the developed world already implemented it--design the roads for slow driving and active transportation. USDOT makes that hard and has not taken down the barriers they have identified themselves.
We have a crisis of roadway deaths in this country—and today we’re taking a major step toward addressing this with our new rule on automatic emergency braking.

Another absurdity, Bloor Yonge versus Spadina. Spadina is better connected (it also has the 510 streetcar) and yet look at the level of development - same scale.
To be clear, it isn't a slam dunk: While the amendments will restore Canada's power to designate Highway 413, by fixing issues that scotched the old assessment, it's still *possible* they'll decide to switch sides by refusing to USE these restored powers. Keep up the pressure.
Last year the Ford government took away Peel Region’s planning authority, while keeping regional taxpayers on the hook for the infrastructure needed to support planning decisions by lower-tier municipalities like Caledon #onpoli

A note for "conservative" commentators -- There is nothing "conservative" about cities demolishing property rights and adding hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes/red tape to new homes. Conservatives should be the loudest and most vocal opposition to municipal NIMBYs.

GRT will begin fixed-route service to Waterloo International Airport in September. The (red) route will run between Sportsworld Station and the airport during rush hours & late evenings on weekdays. An additional all-day weekday route will service the business park & college
