'The City of Waterloo is standing by the region’s smart growth plan that keeps new development within a countryside line as almost every other municipality in the region jumped at the chance to open about 7,000 acres of new lands to developers.' therecord.com/news/waterloo-…

Multi million, dollar building, giant sprawling parking lot, multi storey parking garage, sorry we have no budget for a water fountain. If you are someone who's not in a car, why should anyone have to care about your dignity...?

Hey cycling friends 😊 What are some cost effective options to securely locking 3 to 5 bikes? CycleWR GCAT London Bicycle Café BYCS

Cycling is social.
Design to enable it.

No rush hour. Just an average weekday round noon.

Did you know that thanks to Wayne Scott's 16-year legal battle with Revenue Canada, self-employed bicycle couriers can deduct the cost of the extra food and beverages they must consume because of the nature of their work? The daily flat rate that can be claimed is $23.

Cycling infrastructure ticking the boxes:

✅ > 3 meters wide
✅ bidirectional
✅ separated from other traffic

Northfield Drive, Waterloo, ON

Soon there will be thousands of people living beside here in a huge new development.
The Ontario Ministry of Transportation thinks this is an acceptable route to walk or cycle across the highway to the LRT station.

I beg to differ!

City: we want a safe highway crossing

MTO: we have a safe highway crossing at home therecord.com/news/waterloo-…

The safe highway crossing at home:

Deadly by design? 61% of road deaths in Ontario are caused by pickups/SUVs but comprise only 41% of vehicles. Join our calls for govt action.
