Oak Bay sidewalks.

Two for two, in two of the most important cities in the world. Local elections matter. Leadership matters. Picking excellent city-building mayors for our cities REALLY matters.

🇫🇷 Voici une bonne nouvelle! Emmanuel Grégoire, deputy to Anne Hidalgo, elected Mayor of #Paris !! He beats right-wing candidate, a Sarkozy disciple. Looking forward to going to #Paris this summer—and riding a bicycle (not driving) along the Seine. www.france24.com/en/france/20...

“A city’s creativity doesn’t depend on cars. That’s the 20th century. We’re in the 21st.”— Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. Here’s the truth — when it comes to smart city-building, @annehidalgo.bsky.social has been the most influential & inspiring Mayor in the world. Thank you Mayor Hidalgo. #UrbanTruth

Been a year since I got an electric bike, and I really didn't anticipate how much it would change my relationship to the city. No need to worry about traffic, parking, sweat (Seattle is super hilly), bus schedules. Everything just feels so much closer.

Because this is Oak Bay, it's is too good to be true. Being replaced by planters.

Only in Japan.

Japan has the cutest cars.

The maze gates at Kings & Henderson trail are gone.

Contrary to many drivers' belief, bike lanes don't just benefit a handful of cyclists. buff.ly/DSNPX7t

Good checklist.

J'ai hâte de voir les changements apportés par Madame Hidalgo aux infrastructures cyclables de Paris.

Spring tune-up as well. Pumped slightly deflated tires, oiled chain, other minor maintenance. I really love my ebike. Making my retirement years so enjoyable.

Oak Bay engineer brushes off request to recalibrate traffic lights to allow more time for pedestrians to cross.

Total 22 seconds allowed to cross 4 lane Cadboro Bay rd, Oak Bay, intersection of seniors home, high school, medical offices, recreation centre & major grocery shopping.

Street capacity is a public resource to be allocated in the public interest.

@saanichbc.bsky.social N.B. Reallocate that lane to dedicated buses on McKenzie.

Le 22 mars, c'est l'avenir de Paris qui se joue. Paris est une ville pionnière et son urbanisme humaniste est reconnu à l’échelle mondiale. Paris a montré l'exemple et doit continuer à être à l'avant-garde. Pas une seule voix doit manquer pour @egregoire.bsky.social Paris doit garder son cap ! 💫

Ce soir, et je m'en réjouis, les Parisiens et les Parisiennes ont placé très largement en tête la liste d'union de la gauche et des écologistes conduite par Emmanuel Grégoire déjouant une nouvelle fois les pronostics hasardeux des entreprises de sondage.

One word for Saanich councillors who voted against this: Cowards. www.timescolonist.com/local-news/b...

Capital Daily online news tells us what they really think #yyj "Please don’t shoot the messenger. I can hear you already: “More bike lane stuff? Ugh!” I know. I know."

BAN RIGHT TURN ON RED It started as a privilege, but drivers have proven that they can't do it safely.

Note to bluesky UK: This is a Canadian who admires Trump & Farage. Like a gnat, just ignore him.

He deflected his own culpability by saying he was shown a photo, offloading blame. I hope Orr pursues a legal remedy.

Sometimes I think an explicit carbon tax might work for climate.
