Everytime I see a post like this, I wonder 'which Stellantis product will it be this time'. Cause it's always a RAM, a Jeep, or a Charger driver.

And a special shout out to the FIVE drivers who blew the solid red light on KZM at Westboro Beach. Honestly, if drivers want people on bikes to follow road rules, they may want to consider leading by example. I'm not seeing a whole lot of following road rules out there anymore.

I'm going to make that process quicker. They took away the API, which derailed my 311 overhaul, but I'm told I can just spam them with emails. So that's the plan. Till they put the API access back. A system can be so much easier, and so much better.

Dear @en.ottawa.ca, the next time a large event like Nuit Blanche takes place in Byward Market, the streets need to be closed to drivers. It's absolutely ludicrous to invite thousands of people into one neighbourhood, and still allow cars.

Why the fuck was anyone trying to drive thru downtown tonight. Wtf is wrong with you people. #CarsRuinCities #Autowa

A large intersection stuffed with cars, at night.

A street jam packed with cars, at night.

A lit up sign attached to the side of a wall with a mural, the sign reads SPACE FOR US. Considering how many cars were taking up space during a special event tonight, the signs message really fit.

Together is the essence of my works. Arming the public with tools, so tedious repetitive work can be done in a constructive manner without burnout. One person can make a difference, 10k with a common goal moves the needle, 100k can choose the direction of the city

When a tragic death happens, I often put out the thought - that when a life is cut short, we have no idea what threads, what futures, what great deeds - perhaps the cure for cancer, the next greatest invention, millions of lives changed - who knows. But here's a thread we know, almost snipped.

Agreed. Cameras are an effective tool, but a physical barrier is so much better. But, cities hate it because we live in snow land and emergency, police and city vehicles want to be able to drive all over the sidewalks.

Not only did it remove one of the most scientifically proven effective tools, it largely took the police and the cities also off the hook for caring about dangerous driving except for blitzes. It's lawless out there, and everyone knows they can get away with it because there's near 0 enforcement.

I talked to the drivers using the Laurier bike lane as a loading zone. They dismissed me saying that bikes can just use the sidewalk and balked at the idea of using a traffic lane because it would be dangerous for them. There's on-street parking a few meters away. #autowa #carbrained

This guy almost had a very bad ending to his day today. Blowing through stop signs is already a bad idea, trying to pass a car at the same time is a recipe for disaster. Good reaction from the driver on this one, but they should used their turn signal. Hope everyone learned some lessons.
