Lightning fast trip in and out of Denver. I love this city! Ate pastries, saw Blucifer, rode the light rail, got lost at the airport both at arrival and departure (this happens each time).

Watching a plane test all its flaps in sequence is strangely cute. Like a cat stretching its legs. A blue whale sized cat.

Is the Esplanade not, like, the canonical ideal of the “side street” where the anti-bike crowd say bike lanes should go? There’s no appeasing these people. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Absolutely. Below is the only safe way to lock to these - if you put a wheel in a slot, you're in danger of bending the wheel.

all-day and 24/7 bus lanes are coming to Granville street, the busiest n-s bus in vancouver! but opposition is already materializing from certain businesses and the local BIA over parking. note: granville is a 6-lane road, and every business has a parking lot and side street parking 1/2

my favourite part of this video is the revelation that the two businesses spearheading anti-transit lane efforts, santaguida and summerhill market, have their own dedicated parkings lots and loading zones. they already retain more parking and loading access than most businesses on bathurst.

Apparently supporting science education makes you a “left wing crazy” now in Ontario? We do not need American style partisan degradation of our already chronically underfunded education and post-secondary system.

☕ the latest tea from the protect bathurst/other anti-transit bathurst groups: they're speaking down on and questioning the legitimacy of other businesses on bathurst street that are supportive of transit lanes that are calling out these groups for their misinformation:

It was delightful to welcome the public today to Gensler! We had well over 1000 people visit. Doors Open is an incredible opportunity to educate others about the architecture and design professions. Thank you City of Toronto, TSA, our volunteers, and my colleagues who came on a Saturday! ❤️

A gem of a building to visit for Doors Open. It's not easy to visit Massey College at other times during the year, and you would miss out on the stories!

I just learned that Ontario is the only province in Canada (and, as far as I can tell, the only jurisdiction in North America) where it's totally legal to cross a double yellow line to pass a car?!

Excited for Doors Open this weekend! I'll be at the Gensler office from 9-5 tomorrow, excitedly answering any and all questions. Come ask about office to residential conversions, our Canadian Workplace Survey (and other great research on the built environment), and Starch Madness!

Eloquent defense of Dufferin & Bathurst transit lanes by @shawnmicallef.bsky.social. As a non-car owner living adjacent to Bathurst, the entitled opposition to it by my own neighbours is so frustrating.

Vancouver council is debating a giant permanent sign that says "VANCOUVER", and staff say an issue is putting the sign in a place that won't interfere with film shoots. In other words, a giant "VANCOUVER" sign could interfere with vancouver's lucrative business of pretending to be any other city

I stopped by one of the open houses for RapidTO on Dufferin tonight. Well attended, tons of staff/councillor talking to people & lots of material & maps & ways to record feedback. The idea that there isn’t enough consult on this is BS from the anti side. (Tried not to take pics w people in em)

A major Astroturf effort is underway to fight the bus priority lanes on Bathurst and Dufferin Street in Toronto. The Bathurst website was registered by the CMO of grocer Summerhill Market, which has a location on Bathurst.
