Really enjoy working on @uoftcities.bsky.social projects like this. Heavy lifting by @jamaps.bsky.social with data analysis & visualization. Also Mia Wang who’s led data collection and GIS data processing. Who are streets for? h/t @daniel-romm.bsky.social @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social #IdeasAtWork

Bike lanes are a key issue in Montréal's elections. It's important that these conversations are informed by data. Our study of street space in Montréal was featured on an invited article in @theconversation.com. theconversation.com/montreals-bi... theconversation.com/a-montreal-m...

Montréal’s bike infrastructure hardly takes up any space from cars on city roads
Bike infrastructure in Montréal takes up less than three per cent of the roadway, while car infrastructure has more than 90 per cent of roads across the city.

Happy to have @daniel-romm.bsky.social stop by the @uoftcities.bsky.social offices this afternoon to chat in between his well deserved media interviews. Tagging some friends @davidzipper.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social @nerd4cities.bsky.social I think will be interested in Daniel’s work.
