In the alternative universe category, Penticton BC city councillors have decided not to talk about safe separated bike lanes for three years because they think there are other things that are more important. You just can’t make this stuff up. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

This was hard but rewarding to produce. Gentrification is a complicated issue but CLTs are so far one of the only 'solutions' I've seen that offer a serious response. It's crazy challenging to maintain renter communities in a real-estate market, but we can still do smthing abt it

Here are two ways that arterial streets can grow. We can create hollow neighbourhoods, or we can create places where neighbours have the freedom to walk to shops and services.
