Should have made use of Mr James Smith's product line this morning. London at its drizzly best for my walk to the office! Genuinely interested in whether I could still buy a swordstick, as advertised in the windows....!!

Pedestrian Sundays at Kensington Market. Long time staple of Toronto, pedestrian Sundays happen only once a month in the summer. In a city so deprived of pedestrian first infrastructure more space like this are needed.

"Walk a ravine. Sit in a cafe. Life is still OK." It's true, and good to keep in perspective.

Someone really wanted pedestrians to know they can't cross the street here. The lack of safety on our streets and terrible design choices is almost comical at times, until it costs people lives.

Love the columns repurposed as seating, and also the public cafe tables. And the City is really coming on strong with new robust, functioning water fountains in parks.

Morning Walk with Pip: 3.64 miles (5.85 km) Overcast and cool (54f/12.2c). Saw 6 dogs and 3 bunnies. Listened to an audiobook on Audible: Coming Up Roses by Staci Hart. Pip wanted to stop for coffee.

Good morning from the York University campus in Toronto. Today I will be following Black Creek, from near the city's north border to Highway 401, then backtracking up some of its tributaries. Let's go.

Interesting how (notoriously gray) Zurich's approach to street trees seems to be the popular opposite of Vienna's – planting lots of them on small footprints, densely spaced (great!), but somehow refusing to have any grass on even the widest streets

Totally agree. We need to address the root problem and not just the symptoms. It's time to blow up the sun.
