“Cars are Calgary’s Kryptonite when it comes to out-of-the-box thinking because cars are too often used as an excuse to prevent trying something smarter & better.” My blunt comments on the idea of a pedestrianized 17th Ave, with @GlobalNews Global Calgary. globalnews.ca/news/10417262/…
🔥Former Calgary chief city planner Brent Toderian weighs in: Pedestrianizing Calgary’s 17th Ave SW ‘COMPLETELY FEASIBLE’.
👏Great story dispelling the myths and hyperventilating of a small handful of naysayers.

What’s it like being an Urbanist in Residence at School of Cities? I’m a few hours in and I swear I’m bit taller! I’ll be focusing on how e-bikes can contribute significantly to Toronto's net-zero greenhouse gas emission targets by 2040.

Good news:
First-of-season Calgary Brompton League Ride:
Friday, April 12 | 6:30 p.m. | South Side of George C. King (Skipping Stone) Bridge, East Village.
While Bromptons will be many, any type of bike and its owner are welcome.
Seriously, watch this short video. To see how to effectively make the case for protected bike-lanes, and particularly how they’re good for business. Or just as a great example of how to speak to any city council.
Watch it, then share it. HT Providence Streets Coalition 👟🚲🚌🛴♿🚗🌲
