We're outside at the Forks talking transit and a better Winnipeg.
Two, count them TWO Transit events tonight. First, our Annual General Meeting is at 6pm at St. Boniface Library and a Public Meetup at 8pm at the Forks Commons. Come to one, or both! All welcome, we'll have a sign to find us. Let's work together for better Transit service.
The City of Winnipeg just released its Strategic Planning Priorities for the next four years. The two major budget items are the widening of Kenaston and the extension of the Chief Peguis. Why does this matter? Huge cost & uncertain benefit. Read more: anatomyofapothole.ca
Tonight! We'll be a the Yellow Dog (386 Donald) at 7pm for a meetup until about 8:30pm. Come check us out to talk Transit in Winnipeg and working together for better service for everyone. We'll have a small sign, just come up and say hi!
Another crucial survey is about the Route 90 expasion. engage.winnipeg.ca/route-90-impro… Transportation infrastructure improvements should mean improvements for ALL mobility! Bikes, pedestrians, Transit, not just cars. Please check it out and express your thoughts to the City.
The conversation about pedestrian accessibility at Portage and Main is long-running and it's easy to be cynical about City surveys. But THEY MATTER. Please participate: engage.winnipeg.ca/portageandmain It's not complicated. Separate space for pedestrians, bikes, buses and cars.
We'll be at the Yellow Dog Thurdsay May 11th for a public meetup. Come join us to find out more about Transit in Winnipeg, and how to work together for better service for all of us! 386 Donald St, 7pm until 8:30. No formal start, we'll have a table and small sign. All welcome!
No public meeting tonight! We'll get together next week, Thursday May 11th. Location TBD.
@goldalinger Frequency will have the most impact, and it's great that this is step one of the Transit Master Plan. More on that from @FTWinnipeg👇. The way we've allowed car-oriented development over the past decades is also terrible & we should stop. functionaltransit.com/transit-priori…
We're still thinking about the great meeting we had yesterday with @ATU1505. So exciting to sit down and talk about how to continue to work together for better Transit in Winnipeg!
SO MANY people have endless, needless frustrations getting around town because Transit doesn't meet their needs. Effective Transit service is frequent (making it reliable), accessible and crosses the city. That needs funding. It's not complicated.

It's the season of potholes! How did we get here, and how do we get out of this perpetual pothole plague?? anatomyofapothole.ca @CAAManitoba @BikeWinnipeg @YesInWpg @FTWinnipeg @ClimateActionMB #WpgPothole
No public meeting tonight! We'll be meeting up in person in May, details TBD.

at lighted pedestrian crosswalks that are needed to make them safer and the opportunity cost of not putting the money towards the transit master plan. I'll be fighting again for a better City at Council today. Wishing you an excellent day!

Other than the unfortunate title, this conversation on @thebigstoryfpn is one of the better ones about public transit challenges & what some of the solutions really are. Not just in #toronto but right across #cdnmuni’s. #winnipeg #wpgpoli @FTWinnipeg thebigstorypodcast.ca/2023/02/02/is-…
Yglesias is absolutely correct: It is IMPOSSIBLE to grasp the fundamentals of how to improve US transit without visiting a major Canadian city.
Everyone’s instinct is to suggest an Asian or European city with awesome urbanism but my vote is Calgary and Ottawa both of which have higher transit mode than any non-NYC American city.
Great job Kyle Owens representing @FTWinnipeg on @680CJOB this afternoon making the case for investment in frequent transit in the face of climate change and changing patterns of ridership. Well articulated and well done!
Hey, this is working, @winnipegtransit. Cc @FTWinnipeg
@FTWinnipeg @ScottGillingham @winnipegtransit When the pilot was initially launched, wait times were almost always 15 mins or less. Now I find it rare to have less than 25 mins and often 40+. It seemed the bus stayed in St Amant/St Vital; now it often sits in Southdale and moves bw areas.
Chose @winnipegtransit for running some Saturday morning errands. #wpgpoli #transit
What are the best Manitoba policy and politics podcasts?
@Palmquist88 I agree. Obviously electric buses are better and if there is an economic case for it we should do it. My fear is that it becomes the ‘big funding move’ for transit that takes our eye off the impactful moves that are already in the queue but are not funded.
@brent_bellamy There is a fair and improving case for electrification of the bus fleet; and it’s one of cost amid high fuel prices and steadily improving price of the technology, but as you said; it’s a drop in the bucket in terms of emissions and it’s not an environmental one.
Buses represent 0.8% of Winnipeg’s emissions. 32% is from private vehicles. Instead of buying costly electric buses, transit investment should squarely focus on impactful planned projects like rapid transit and a high-frequency network to improve service and increase ridership.
This blew my mind.
Imagine if transit was free after 6pm, was cheaper on Saturdays, free on Sundays, and had two hour transfers from the time you get to your destination. You know, like parking.
@FTWinnipeg @ATU1505 I had one of these on my lawn in 2018 it might have been an older one someone pulled out and put back up.
