12 of the 50 most dangerous crossings in Calgary are in Ward 8. More than any other ward. I ran on making our streets safer. In June I brought a motion to put $6 million into traffic safety. Council passed it unanimously. On September 22 it cleared its final step. What's next? 1/ #yyc #yyccc

#yycbike Look what is coming up in council on Tuesday. The chill effect of threatening proposed provincial legislation on bike lanes is real. This is wrong headed on so many levels and warrants strong push back. pub-calgary.escribemeetings.com/filestream.a...

🧵 For 3 years Critical Mass has held monthly rides with 3 goals in mind: 1. Celebrate cycling + other active transport 2. Protest the lack of physical + social infra that allows for safe travel 3. Create a safe environment to cycle by empowering participants to look out for one another.

Is it Amsterdam? Copenhagen? No, it's Paris! After years of investment, the French capital has one of the best problems a city can have: bicycle congestion. So if Paris has done it, why wouldn't other cities follow? 📸 Such an amazing photo by @jbpssx.bsky.social

That’s almost the entire network. It’s so much worse than we feared 😔
Planned bike lane closures
The closures make up about 20km of bike lanes, including a 14km stretch on Bloor St.

Also Avenue road, Yonge street, University Avenue.

Dedicated bike ways includes bike lanes, contra-flow bike lanes, and cycle tracks

If road taxes were a real thing, then drivers should be paying more for the damage, wear and tear they do to roads. Not to mention the main reason bike and ped infrastructure gets damaged is because of cars.

Since day one (3 years ago) the people of Critical Mass have been nothing but respectful, joyful and most of all, they take no shit. Big shout out to #yycbike and the greater micro-mobility community (roller bladers, skateboarders, and everything in between) for making this event what it is today ❤️

Just a reminder it is cheaper to go 30km an hour over the limit in a residential neighbourhood ($324) in a jacked up F-150, than it is to go too fast on the pathway on a bike. Also seems that a bell on a head unit is not a bell, or so I am told. I accept responsibility for my sins. #yycbike

Tweet from Devin Dreeshen that reads "Great news for common sense transportation decision" and he links the CBC article about the Ontario decision to allow the provincial government to rip out bike lanes in cities.
