I really enjoy helping my neighbors after a snowstorm. 😊 I enjoy the strategy of it 😛 No neighbor of mine should have to break their back shovelling when I have a nice machine that can help ease the effort.

Hey St. John's drivers, the usual post-storm reminder from your friendly neighbourhood pedestrian: slow down and make some space! This soon after a big storm we're all in the road together, and my eyes are tired from all the driver stare-downs I had to do en route to work this morning.

Last year was the most lethal for pedestrians in the history of St. John's. We NEED a vision zero plan. We cant do that without new from the ground up development regulations and engineering manuals. Without that, we'll never have safe streets. People first engineering. Cars don't pay taxes.

There is no reason to be on the roads today unless you are a hospital employee or work in emergency services and health. And if you are in those fields, there should be storm hazard pay. Metrobus is off the roads and schools are closed. Once that happens companies should be WFH only.

In this moment in time, we are facing an economic war vs our former largest ally which will make cars, food etc more expensive yet St. John's insists on slowing down density and infill for dubious reasons. Smaller more affordable living situations were needed 5 years ago. Now it's a crisis.

Gotta still get it and vote. Polly wolly can't win. Our charter of rights and freedoms, Canadian sovereignty, and the future global climate is on the line. We need to continue the effort to have a green economy. The future requires climate action to thrive and advance.

Man screw Amazon. Those Quebec workers successfully unionized and Amazon well full weiner and shut the facility down cause Bezos is a complete turd. Corporate greed made society turn back into the guided age. I haven't shopped Amazon in 8+years but you should boycott them too. I hate technocrats

It's faster to take Allendale to many locations from north of the ORR directly to the main destinations. Why can we remove the slip lane southbound and reserve it for pedestrians and cycling/micro mobility? Cheap. Quick. Safe. Winter proof.

Deactivated American Fietser on Threads today. This effectively removes my presence from the platform and keeps the username from being used. Shuttered Threads, X, Instagram, and never existed on Facebook. Bluesky and YouTube are it for me.

Weatherbox studios has released a 20 minute video about Hurricane Juan and White Juan. Free of the overdramatic, repetitive elements of Discovery, I think he does an excellent job explaining the weather setup of the events and describing the results. #nswx #nlwx

Just reached 45k followers. A lot faster than it originally took me on Twitter. Still consistent growth in the community here on Bluesky.

I'm so thankful that most Canadian cities avoided bulldozing neighborhoods to build highways and flattening blocks for parking space. The city did level the homes around barters hill and jammed a highway downtown, but overall, generally left it mostly alone.

Another project in St. John's asking for parking relief. CLEARLY developers want less space for cars. YESSS! Any council or planning/engineering against a developer that wants to do this is off their rockers. Werkliv proved they are willing, and able. We. Need. Housing. We don't need parking

If you don't cycle, you won't realize how few safe bike lock locations exist in St. John's. Pre-fab parking stall swaps bolted on mobile concrete could work really well in our climate. Start temporary and move to permanent over time. Our city has little creativity. It's stuck in the dark ages.

New tonight — I’m contractually obligated to have thoughts about NYC and traffic congestion, and they won’t fit in 300 characters, so here: nebula.tv/videos/cityn...

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost. This isn’t about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath

No matter what happens with the Canadian Federal election, one thing will be true — a significant % of Canadian voters & media will have been successfully manipulated to oppose a beneficial carbon pricing approach that was either revenue-neutral or financially beneficial to almost all Canadians…1/2

@eddiesheerr.bsky.social curious if simply the mechanisms that create the storm determine whether they are a hurricane or not. 953 millibar is really low. I believe lower than Igor at landfall. Any reason this isn't a tropical storm? Thanks 🙏

The city saw people crossing Torbay road to get to the other Metrobus stop and said 'no crossing' instead of fixing the problem. Put a crosswalk there or make a better island stop that has physical protections for drivers. Pedestrian safety should be a top priority, not car flow.

If you want lower taxes, we need infill and density. St. John's is sitting on several billion in missing middle housing/mixed use land. The city should get in on it too. That's another 40 million revenue with little effort. +12% revenue. That CANNOT without intelligent zoning regulation reform.

LET’S FUCKING GO!!! CONGESTION PRICING OFFICIALLY STARTS WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES MIDNIGHT TOMORROW!!

I absolutely love this traffic calming in #yyt at Cavendish square. Only downside is the fully mountable curb offers no protection for pedestrians. Seeing as some knuckle in a Hummer almost rear ended me flying around this corner, it is still not enough calming. It's a start but we can do more!
