36-year-old can't breathe, rushed to ER. Lungs full of blood clots. Doc asks how many times he's had covid. Doesn't know, hasn't been testing. Doc guesses 3-4. Prescribes blood thinners for the rest of his life. 1/2
“The city is pitching a $60-million plan to fast-track Hamilton’s cycling network that would double the amount of bike lanes added or improved each year.” The plan would add more than 140+ km of new or improved bikes lanes and multi-use pathways by 2028. thespec.com/news/council/h…
“So I replied “Actually, the best transportation plan is a great LAND-USE plan!”
Toderian speaks of Density Done Well at every scale, as the best way to refocus on quality of life with density. QIMBY = Quality In My Back Yard.
LISTEN: ‘We're afraid of walkable distances now?' — conspiracies & the '15-minute city,’ my NEW interview on @abcnews National Australian Radio @RadioNational. I don’t JUST explain with the concept really IS and ISN’T, I also call out the lies & tactics. abc.net.au/radionational/…
US transit advocates: Don't just envy Europe. Start by envying Canada.

"You don't have to ban the car, but you DO have to rethink it. This isn’t a war on the car, it's a fight for better, more successful cities. The more people that bike, walk & take public transit, the better a city works for EVERYONE." — @BrentToderian in Belgium, 2019
This Spanish city centre has been car-free for 20 years. 12k people have moved into the centre since the ban. The Mayor says vehicles don’t have more right to public space than people — & he’s been re-elected 4 times since banning cars. Pontevedra via @wef
“I believe chief planners should be influential champions for a better city. @twitter should be seen as an effective tool for that. Planners should invest the time to understand Twitter & learn how to use it well.” — @BrentToderian in @WinnipegNews

The Dutch invest €595 million annually on urban biking, resulting in €19 BILLION saved in public health care costs alone. That’s how smart govts do the math on investing in better mobility. Let’s be clear — it wastes public money to NOT do it. #CityMakingMath HT @modacitylife

.@VLADDO: I’ve read you’re not very happy with electric cars b/c they don’t help urban mobility, is that right? @BrentToderian: That’s an overstatement. What concerns me is when EVs are held up as the solution. At most they’re part of the solution, & not the most important part.

“For as long as there have been cars, car manufacturers have aggressively been seeking to shape our cities for one primary reason: To design cities where that will help them sell more cars.” — @BrentToderian in @FastCompany fastcompany.com/90781961/how-a…

"When I started my career in the '90s, if you wanted to have your thinking transformed by another city, you had to take a trip to Copenhagen. Social media has given us all the daily ability to perceive and be inspired by those cities." — @BrentToderian cnet.com/roadshow/news/…
First article I've seen delving into the rapid emergence of online anti-car forums. One example: The r/fuckcars subreddit has quadrupled in size this year, to ~283,000 members. cnet.com/roadshow/news/…
"Too many times this week I've heard, 'we'd like to do more but we can't afford it.’ That's because you're thinking about things like planting trees and building bike-lanes like a cost instead of a cost-saver and an investment." — @BrentToderian guelphmercury.com/news-story/106…
