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

Looks like the City of Winnipegâs 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 .

Seriously questioning

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 landâeven though streets are safer with itâinstead of clearing basic infrastructure so people can get around.

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.

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 thatâs only a few blocks away because itâs impossible to get around right now in this mush.

I get the compromise behind a seasonal bike lane. Skeptics might be more open if itâs 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 â no winter cyclists â no need for lanes in winter

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.

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?

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 âaccidentâ language. Driving is a privilege, not a right.

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.

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."
