eScooters and similar micromobility aren't just fun options, IMO they are critical to the low carbon city. Yet in Canada we find so many ways to frustrate their use (yes there are issues that can be addressed better than we do)

A few years ago, I got to illustrate this powerful story about the positive impacts of #yyc's low income transit pass program for everyday folks. I'd be sad to see the funding for this program cut. You can see the full video (& a few others) here: the23rdstory.com/ten-years-toge…

At the @APTA_info conference in Portland, @trimet is showing that you can do beautiful, artistic wraps without covering the windows. People don't like to enter a room that they can't see into. It's why we have a glass walled conference rooms.
The best kind of induced demand... the better the service, the more the demand, except transit is an efficient mobility choice (vs. autos). More investment will make a real dent in congestion
Not only coldhearted but bad economic policy... transit supports help many access jobs and are an important boost up the economic ladder, helping employers as much as employees.
Love this… Bill is a fantastic guy and a true advocate for an expanded understanding of heritage + its potential for connecting us to a more complex experience of place.

Buses should matter to city planners, but they usually don't. Working with Ireland's National Transport Authority, we've just written the guidebook that they need. It's free. Read all about it: humantransit.org/2024/04/32037.…

Professor @Ayan604's essay, “Census Making and City Building: Data Perspectives on the 1907 Anti-Asian Riots and the Development of Vancouver" is featured in "White Riot". We congratulate him and all the contributors to this important text. #sfuurb @SFUFASS
Spot on critique... transit-oriented development is good in principle but often flawed in practice ('tall + sprawl') as its applied simplistically, creating neither good neighbourhoods or good cities.

There has been a lot of talk on here abut density and construction costs and people weighing in that "you people just don't understand the numbers, 5:1 apartments are the only thing that pencil out" while ignoring all sorts of other patterns of development that exist
