These aircraft are being prepared to go into production in the near future. Many will not succeed but if just a few do, that would be amazing.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.”

THANK YOU, A.R.C. Volunteers, and all riders for helping our 🚲 community honour a young woman on a bike, cut down by a hit-run driver (now arrested). May her death not be in vain, but highlight the grievous need for protected cycling infra in Malton. R I P 🕯💔

We need your help. Scarborough can't be stuck in traffic for the next decade. I'm calling on Premier Ford Doug Ford & Scarborough MPPs to urgently fund an SRT replacement busway & free TTC-GO transfers.

I've put together a petition. Add your voice now: KevRup.ca/SRT

Pearl Street Triangle Plaza appreciation 🧵 In 2007 I was living in Miami and this image totally rocked my world. A rapid but simple transformation made with low-cost and flexible materials. 🤔 I wanted to live in Janette Sadik-Khan’s New York City.

Zero houses are getting built.

This land is farmland - no water, sewer, roads, schools, transit. It will take *years* to build out the necessary Infrastructure… if it was desirable to do so.
