i was shocked when i found out a friend who is a teacher (NS) had a Registry List for basic stuff for her class, because their was a limit on how much she was able to spend of her own money. Tim Houston is just a Doug clone

the other advantage i found of a good transit system is flexibility.

It was a nice day, i could walk some or all the way (5km commute)
Needed some groceries, get off a stop early to pick fresh stuff- much less waste.

except it you allow right on red at same time, since local drivers now know they are safe from any of those damaging 2 ton metal weapons coming though . Pedestrians will get out of the way.

if they did anything it would likely increase the wait time and reduce the crossing time.

people are always surprised when i tell them the button they pressed is just for the visually impaired sound signal, nothing different in cycle.

but just to mess me up, my city planner introduced a brand new "safer" signalled intersection where if i don't press I don't even get a Walking signal 😡

Mount Pleasant Cemetery has a 30 km/h posted driving speed and a 10 km/h bicycle speed.

Makes perfect sense.

just add an active transportation access to Shubie at the north end

It’s been over a decade since I had a run of Canadian dates, so I’m excited to be playing shows from Halifax to Winnipeg this summer – with a short excursion down to the US to play a set of Mermaid Avenue songs with Wilco at Solid Sound.

still reminds me of my "favourite" Conservative voter who in the same conversation would go from:

"Why do my taxes need to help homeless?" 20 minutes later "Why do I have to pay airport taxes when I fly?"

and be totally unaware.

More than three years as a city councillor and it still amazes me that every meeting on every topic turns into an argument about parking. It’s exhausting.

what fascinates me is that these are the people who would be first to yell if we cut anything they use/enjoy that is heavily supported by my tax money.
