Cool. Winnipeg's current AT budget is $1.6m. $1.4m came from Federal Gas Tax. Our city put in only $250,000. Not even one big project slated in budget. Pretty deceiving graphics in our past multi-year budget touting sustainable transpo. New council this year. 🤞 #wpgpoli

The Sherbrook/Maryland "bike lane". Professional Engineers thought this was a good idea, the city approved it and we spent money to make it like this. When a cyclist is seriously injured here, it won't be an accident, but an inevitable result of the design.
Normally, we all ride together on Friday. After a pandemic, we also celebrate on Saturday. But not this year. Not without Ukraine. Soon we'll all ride together. Meanwhile, support #BikesForUkraine. Read how and why: WinterBiketoWorkDay.org
Thinking to yourself, "Surely that thing is illegal b/c it's so dangerous for pedestriansl"? Fun fact: That's impossible in the USA! The feds have created zero -- zero -- vehicle design rules related to pedestrian safety. Why is that? Great question for @NHTSAgov.

Now that we finally have snow, be prepared for the flood of winter maintenance videos 😅🤗 Here's part of our main route #3, in the suburbs, being plowed for the 4th time today. Several observations worth noticing. 🧵 1/1.
Estonia to start subsidizing cargo bikes - probably a more efficient form of government spending than subsidies for electric cars. @UT_moblab news.err.ee/1608799822/sta…
We can't afford to empty garbages when plowing snow. We. Are. Broke. We've gotta stop the insane sprawl, and road & cop budgets. This is madness.

Raised crosswalks with color differentiation and proper angles direct motorist behavior, while taking minimal time and investment to implement. This design, when done properly, enables people of all ages and abilities to more easily cross a street.
So let me get this straight: The City of Toronto was ok with the Toronto Police using $337,000 of our tax dollars to create a podcast barely anyone listened to...but wasn't ok using $400,000 to fund a 24/7 warming centre to prevent hypothermia & death? Where are our priorities?
So fun, coldest day of year ride, nice 6C/42F. If we had SAFE bike infra, people would ride four seasons. Doable. A joyful Toronto for Everyone. AAA = All Ages& Abilities.
I’ll be running for mayor of Toronto. Together, we can create an affordable, equitable, sustainable city, a Toronto for Everyone. Please share.
