I wrote an op-ed for the @dailyhivevancouver.bsky.social about my feelings about the 25 bus in Vancouver (spoiler: not so positive), transit planning and the changes needed for more people-oriented cities. Thanks @denisagar.bsky.social and @iamkennethchan.bsky.social dailyhive.com/vancouver/no...

One of the things that I love to do during the NBA playoffs is to compare who has the fewest parking lots outside the stadium. Go Knicks! (at least on the no parking part)

It's Jane's Walk weekend in Metro Vancouver! I just love this event so much, it allows you to really learn about a city from the people who live and love it. I really recommend everyone to go on at least one walk (in Vancouver or wherever you are in the world) @janeswalkvan.bsky.social

Paris is going to pedestrianize *500 MORE* street. Meanwhile Vancouver is slowly and painfuly suffocating the one great pilot it had in Gastown... Not to mention the rest on the metro area.

🚍 Save the Bus! Despite the rain, so many people showed up at the #SaveTheBus rally today in Metrotown to demand no transit cuts, only more funding! We need more buses. Cutting transit funding is not an option. Thanks @movementyvr.bsky.social for organize the rally! Take action: SaveTheBus.ca

You all know I love the inspirational power of a great “before & after” street or place transformation. Here’s a before, middle and after transformation, showing the temporary and then permanent changes. The evolution of a school street in Bratislava, Slovakia, HT @holz-bau.bsky.social. Very smart.

Perfect Sunday afternoon today at the Woodland bike bridge! With @StrongTownsVancouver & @VisionZeroVancouver we set up benches, planters, and games, turning it into a real community hangout. Public spaces are for people, not just cars. Hope it will continue and grow! #TacticalUrbanism #Placemaking
