We have a new study systematically reviewing the emerging field of street space allocation studies: www.tandfonline.com/eprint/MMXIG... These studies can make important contributions to improving our streets – excited to see future work on this!

Last week, @daniel-romm.bsky.social participated in the North American Bikeshare and Scootershare Association #NABSA Conference in Montréal. He presented our work exploring Grand Rapids Michigan's free fare #escooter pilot program.

Really enjoy working on @uoftcities.bsky.social projects like this. Heavy lifting by @jamaps.bsky.social with data analysis & visualization. Also Mia Wang who’s led data collection and GIS data processing. Who are streets for? h/t @daniel-romm.bsky.social @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social #IdeasAtWork

Bike lanes are a key issue in Montréal's elections. It's important that these conversations are informed by data. Our study of street space in Montréal was featured on an invited article in @theconversation.com. theconversation.com/montreals-bi... theconversation.com/a-montreal-m...

Do you work with mobility data? Come discuss! ptal-io.github.io/ddma2025-mon... October 27, the @platialanalysis.bsky.social at McGill will be hosting the Data-Driven Mobility Analytics workshop (DDMA2025). Free participation but limited space, so please declare your interest by October 3!

The Spatial Data Science Symposium #SDSS2025 is back. Check out the Call for Sessions and Call for Papers: sdss2025.spatial-data-science.net

Congrats to lab member @daniel-romm.bsky.social, whose study on Montreal’s bike lanes is gaining national and international media coverage. platial.science/media-spotli...

Happy to have @daniel-romm.bsky.social stop by the @uoftcities.bsky.social offices this afternoon to chat in between his well deserved media interviews. Tagging some friends @davidzipper.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social @nerd4cities.bsky.social I think will be interested in Daniel’s work.

This morning CBC Metro Morning had me on to talk about our recent study "The Cars are Going to be Alright", and how it is relevant for Toronto. You can listen here: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-.... For a post explaining the main findings: platial.science/new-pub-the-... 1/2

Happy to see media and popular interest around our recent article "The Cars are Going to be Alright" (platial.science/new-pub-the-...). We've been featured on CBC, Radio Noon, Daybreak, Le Devoir, Radio Canada, CTV, Global, CityNews, and more to come. A lot of engagement on social media too. 1/4

New paper out, open access in the Journal of Cycling and Micromobility Research: "The Cars are Going to be Alright: Examining Micromobility Infrastructure Space Allocation and Potential Improvement Scenarios in Montréal" (doi.org/10.1016/j.jc...).

In a Position Paper prepared for Ontario’s #Metrolinx, lab member, @daniel-romm.bsky.social provides an overview of the potential for current shared #micromobility systems. platial.science/the-potentia...
