@cityburlington @DTBurlingtonON How about we outfit one car parking spot on Brant Street (maybe in front of @CentroGarden) with 8-10 bike parking spots?? The sidewalk parking stands are great but they are in the way of Pedestrians.
If you are not the wicked witch of the west( and you have rain gear) rain is not THE cycling hazard of November -- it's wet leaves on pavement. #slipslidnaway @cityburlington

Are Burlington Bike Lanes on a Road Diet or do they go south for winter weather 🤔@BuildBetterSts @cityburlington @MariannMeedWard
Notice how I cycled around the tree? It blocks the last few feet of a "bike lane" just before an intersection on the Service road. A 60km zone frequently traveled at higher speed (not by me on my bike though would if I could)# @cityburlington #needmysnips
Ridership up by 20k, cycling volumes up by 440%, pedestrian volumes way up. The King pilot is an example of a big boost in transit and livability at a low cost: thestar.com/news/gta/2018/… #topoli
Parking at No Frills can be tight even in November #cyclinglife #bikeparking @cityburlington @MariannMeedWard
Awesome. Imagine the impact if each school in Ontario had a School Travel Plan that prioritized 🚴 and 🚶 for kids. We spend $1B/yr on busing in Ont! That + healthy habits for life + fewer 🚗 on the road + fun on the way to school with friends = good investment! 👍👏
Congratulations to our 215 students who participated in Walk to School Day! Thank you to our special guests from @OntarioAST who came out to support our students! 🚶🏻♂️🚶🏽♀️🚴🏼♂️👣@niagaracatholic @NiagaraFalls
@JackieLodder @BuildBetterSts @cityburlington Yes a paved path for bikes, pedestrians and mobility devices is going in here
Seeing lots of candidates express support for bikeshare in #BurlON which is great. But without safe and well-connected places for people to ride can it live up to our expectations?
Can a bikeshare program succeed if there's nowhere safe to ride? It didn't work out for Pasadena; let us know in the comments what you think our cities should learn from their experiment. Via @PasStarNews and @planetizen. bit.ly/2OZrAf7
