It takes a "special person*" to come up with a bylaw to infringe on people's rights, and then claim they're trying to protect the vulnerable. *weasel

Wild that we're in an existential budget crisis and "charge market rates for parking" isn't on the table.

Kitchener, Ontario, 1932. Assertions to the effect that “people preferred to drive” are guesses in the guise of explanations. In cities, a minority of motorists degraded streetcar service for the majority.

Looks like the City of Winnipeg’s snow clearing strategy of waiting until it melts is working out quite nicely on some of the sidewalks.

I was all excited to post I finally found a road (Pentland in NK) where the sidewalk was plowed better than the street! But alas at Fortier I unexpectedly hit a pit deeper than my boot. Can you imagine if the road suddenly dropped 8 inches . #hazard @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social @atcritic.bsky.social

Screen Time.

Utterly shocking (actually common practice), the @cityofwinnipeg.bsky.social has not maintained the Harrow Street bike lanes. Showing off their negligence and complete disregard for people on bicycles.

Seriously questioning #OttCity’s decision to send its winter maintenance funds to expensive, laborious snow-hauling just so a handful of drivers can park their private property on City land—even though streets are safer with it—instead of clearing basic infrastructure so people can get around.

I was in #Toronto earlier this week and the bike lanes still hadn’t been cleared 10 or so days after the big storm. People on bikes were riding on the sidewalks or mixing with car/streetcar traffic. Dangerous, and exactly the opposite of what you’d expect under an @mayoroliviachow.ca mayoralty.

The missing in action safe speed report in long overdue. The real question is why we needed the report. We know that lower speeds are safer & result in little if any impact on commuting times. A 30 kph speed limit on all residential streets could make a huge impact. @safespeedswpg.bsky.social

"Freedom is frequency" my bus the D19 comes every 13 minutes in the morning. The previous route , the 18, was every 9 minutes. Winnipeg Transit providing less freedom on purpose!

I showed this policy to someone who works in Public Works and they had no idea it existed.

If the City of Winnipeg actually followed its own policy, downtown sidewalks would actually be passable during freeze/thaw cycles. Instead I had to work from home today instead of going to my office that’s only a few blocks away because it’s impossible to get around right now in this mush.

Uber operating in a bike lane. Guess the signs aren't clear?

Downtown sidewalks maintained to bare pavement, but only if Public Works feels like doing it.

Who do we thank for the increased Amber light times? Great upgrade, I get to watch drivers run full Red lights on the daily now!

I hope there are some politicians going to @thewaroncars.bsky.social talk tomorrow night in Toronto, a city where two die on the same day and it gets buried on page 9- that is how common it has become.

I get the compromise behind a seasonal bike lane. Skeptics might be more open if it’s removed when least used. The problem: it makes it very difficult to build a culture of winter cycling. You reinforce the seasonal disparity. No winter lanes → no winter cyclists → no need for lanes in winter

My utter disgust of Public Works admin was renewed after witnessing a massive crew removing snow from beside a field in Tuxedo

Something a few thousand of us learned yesterday is that regular or electric bikes, with fat, skinny, stud-less, ribbed or even slick tires work pretty much fine in a MN winter. Just exercise a little care. Take it easy. Layer up. Ride straight. Fear not the occasional dismount.

Blame shifting as agenda advancement: how streets were redefined from places for everybody to high-speed motor thoroughfares. A story that begins in Kansas City. ... www.kcur.org/history/2026-01-29/kansas-city-jaywalking-crime-pedestrians-cars-right-of-way

If public transit and cycling had even 10% of the subsidies we give to car culture, our cities would look completely different.

It should be noted that the city has not released the independent reports they paid Deloitte to create on the cost and benefits of this project. I've submitted a FIPPA to access these reports.

Canada’s 4th largest City, and Nation’s capital, passed a major suite of zoning reforms today including; 🚗eliminating most parking requirements, 🏠allowing 4-units on all serviced residential lots, 🏬up to 6-floors on busy streets, & 🥐accessory commercial uses allowed in more neighborhoods. 📍Ottawa

Relying on solely adjacent property owners to clear sidewalks is a recipe for an inaccessible walking network.

Zero attempts to clear the bus stop.

#Toronto now, Toronto then Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose. Transit needs signal priority, dedicated lanes.

If you didn’t know or even if you do this is an interesting analysis of how we subsidize suburban sprawl.

“Before robotaxis are welcomed at all, public transportation services must be so good that robotaxis will not delay them or divert passengers from them. By this standard, Toronto ... should not be welcoming large deployments of robotaxis any time soon.” www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Driving is a privilege, earned through assessment and retained via acceptable standards. Why should such people ever be allowed to lawfully drive again and share the road with victims? We would never return a firearms licence to someone who unlawfully used a gun to kill. Why is driving different?

“It just worked. That’s what you’ll find with these conversions — they’ll be done and then instantly people will be like, ‘Why didn’t we do this 20 years ago?’” What are you waiting for, Calgary? #yyccc #roadsafety #community apnews.com/article/one-...

You a snow clearing contractor? Fuck you too!

Section of the Sherbrooke bike lane used for snow storage. Garbage service, no oversight!

I just had this craaaazy idea: what if OttCity plowed the bike lanes instead of using them for snow storage? Or is that asking too much ...

Dropped curb accessibility provided by the city of Winnipeg

This is our final post in the Vulnerable Road Users Collision Research project. Every report is a receipt. Safer roads aren’t a vibe, they’re a necessity. Want to expose what official stats keep missing? Use BikeMaps.org. Report: • Cycling collisions • Near misses • Hazards • Bike thefts

I'm fully able bodied and I struggled to fight sidewalk drifts. Just a middle finger to the elderly, mobility challenged or younger kids. And cyclists.

I’ve come to the conclusion that people with mobility issues really must hate this time of year.

Unreported collisions = invisible safety problems. If it doesn’t get reported, it doesn’t get counted. And if it doesn’t get counted, it doesn’t get fixed. Collision data is what drives: • Street redesign • Bike lane improvements • Resource allocation • Accountability

Commenting as Govt launch a road safety strategy. Every death on our roads is unacceptable. We need a Vision Zero ethos: no deaths or serious injury. Change driving culture, reject speeding, use speed-limiting tech, strengthen sentences, end ‘accident’ language. Driving is a privilege, not a right.

Seeker of the "truth" reposted this garbage. This article is pathetic!

They quickly added head starts to the crosswalks where Jakob was struck and Rosalie was killed, one wonders if anyone feels bad that they delayed for a study to implement a policy that has already worked everywhere else it has been tried. Who will the next study delay be too late for?

Giving pedestrians a head start improves safety, has no effect on traffic, city finds. As always, our city does a study to determine what is already widely known. We know they love that there is "virtually no cost" but could we not for once just follow what is already best practice. t.ly/Dl9VN

New speed camera replacement just dropped in Ford’s Ontario

If it is not the plows pushing snow into the bike lanes, it is just the movement of traffic doing it. Priority maintenance on bike routes is needed to ensure they are "usable."

Harrow Street painted bike lane, December 30, 2025. Unusable "infrastructure"!

Simply amazing how bad this is. A paid professional designed this and an even higher paid engineer approved it.
