Dir. Brouwer forgets that, for biking, $100M is a MASSIVE amount of money.

$100M could fund thousands of miles of bike lanes, and hundreds of miles of protected bike lanes.

Or it could build one lane of highway for 1.67 miles. observablehq.com/@rjsheperd/bik…

How much less does it cost the public to build infrastructure & provide services for compact rather than sprawling neighbourhoods? Almost 3x more!! Financial Lessons for every State & City Pic from thecostofsprawl.com lnkd.in/gDa8HfK

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via The Discourse study.

This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

It's strange that bicycle infrastructure 'looks' like a waste a space because we are used to a car's 200 sq ft being the baseline. When we flip our thinking and consider space in terms of 'people per acre', well...

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” fastcompany.com/3062989/50-rea…

Never forget, multimodal streets (aka “complete streets”) are simply more efficient, because they move, hold & serve more people within the same space. Whether you think streets are just for moving people, or are for a LOT more, they’re just better. Via NACTO

Encore un énorme subside pour continuer à attirer la voiture dans notre

... and because I’m a planning nerd I did this math too ... the bike corral at this weekend’s Hillside Music Festival in Guelph would cover something like 1 acre if these were cars in a parking lot
