Didn't our city declare a climate emergency in 2019? Maybe some plants in this garden were pollinator plants and could have been saved? Here is another missed opportunity to sit down with everyone involved and come up with a compromise. $10,000 a day fine #Burlington? #DoBetter

The Plains Road protected bikeways and resurfacing project will begin soon and will result in many benefits to cyclists, pedestrians, transit buses and vehicles. burlington.ca/plainsroadresu…. #BurlON
So this is happening … AAA protected cycling facilities coming to life along Plains Road. I’ll be honest - got a little choked up to see this. This symbolizes a shift toward integrated mobility. Equity. Prioritizing people over cars. Proud be part of the team driving change.
Good things are happening… the creation of our integrated mobility network is underway with this first critical step toward creating AAA cycling infrastructure. Proud of the talented and dedicated team that made this happen 👍🏻#BurlON

The government’s decision is an erosion of local democracy and planning authority. This is a step in devastating the farmland we need to feed our growing community. @Stopsprawlhalt1

Anyone familiar with the community planning permit system? With municipalities likely losing site plan approval control with Bill 23, I'm wondering if this is something worth looking at ontario.ca/page/community…

Council's decision to stop sprawl expansion was the single most significant decision by any #HamOnt Council for taxpayers, for local food & farmers, for clean air, flood protection & climate change, for the economy, for a future that improves quality of life for all residents.

The approximate annual cost for the raise requested by CUPE is $264m. The $200 per child bribe Lecce recently gave out cost around $365m. The license plate renewal fee brought in approximately $1b each year.
@fordnation's decision to force sprawl growth for the next 30 years - using every single acre of available farmland - and portions of the greenbelt - is nothing short of an historic betrayal of the current and future residents of #HamOnt.
Ford just stabbed Hamilton and Halton in the gut. After we chose to grow within our current urban boundaries he has flung open Georgetown to sprawl southward. Welcome to the city of Halton. Thousands of acres of prime agricultural unnecessarily sacrificed to developer greed.
Having looked at the messaging of the PC MPPs today, I think they are missing what’s going on by emphasizing that THEY decided the strike was illegal. If there is no possibility of a legal strike, people don’t care whether the strike is legal or not.
Thank you! I’m honoured to be back serving Burlington as your Mayor for another four years. I will have more to say in coming days. For now, please accept my gratitude for your trust and commitment to work together with me and council to make our city the best it can be!
Nobody is better at impersonating how presidents and PMs walk than Stefan Leonhardsberger. His Macron, Johnson, Trudeau and Zelensky are all on point.

Anyone know any groups (preferably in Ontario, but can be anywhere in Canada) that have done tactical urbanism projects?

“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…
