Anyone who says that ‘cyclists don’t pay for road maintenance’ has no idea of the extent of how much car use is subsidized by everybody else.

In urbanism discourse, you often hear "we can't do road diets/gas taxes/tolls/etc until we build out robust public transit first", which 90% of the time is just deflection—lower Manhattan is the most transit-accessible area of the country & we won't even discourage driving there

One of the ways to increase the capacity of our existing network and to ensure reliability of service, is reallocating road space - dedicating that road space - to transit. Doing so means the bus or the streetcar can arrive with more frequency. Of course, this is a picture of…

Walking is the best way to really get to know Toronto. That's true from Queen's Quay to Steeles. After a day of Council meetings, it was great to join @shawnmicallef for the launch of the updated edition of his book "Stroll," which is about the beauty of seeing our city on foot.

Finally mainstream media is talking about something housing advocates and urbanists have raised for years! 🚨 Parking Minimums = Bad There are 71-97 million parking spots in Canada for 23 million cars. While 4 parking spots = 1 bedroom apartment. globalnews.ca/news/10284931/…

Parking mandates force wasteful land use, kill small businesses, and fuel the housing crisis at an average cost of $40,000 per space. The People Over Parking Act poises Minnesota to be the first state in the US to deregulate parking statewide.

Tonight is even worse than yesterday on the 504 King @TTChelps @MayorOliviaChow and I’d never seen anything like that. Our operator is literally telling people to walk. Got on at John 33 minutes ago. I’m currently at Roy Thomson Hall which is maybe 30 m east of where I started.

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor. The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today. Better choices instead of excuses.

Talking about density is trendy now (woo hoo), but we need to be certain we are not just talking about building units for off shore investors. We need dense neighbourhoods and communities. Not isolated towers. Density needs a mix of housing types (rental and affordable along…

Have you ever wondered why some cities are just so much nicer than others? Well, it's probably because they have good "Third Places." What is a Third Place? It's wherever you go when you're not at home or at work...
