If the Blue Jays win tonight, Toronto will pour into the streets. People will improvise their own public realm: intersections, sidewalks, parking lots... because the city gives them nowhere else to go. A reminder that we’ve designed our cities to manage people, not to hold them.

Schools! Never forget that most speed cameras are around schools. Whatever else they tell you, always remember that the cameras are near schools. They lower speeds near schools. Schools. www.therecord.com/news/waterlo...

Speed camera ban: Ford government moves to ban automated cameras in Waterloo Region and across Ontario
Without a formal directive or legislative change from the province, Waterloo Region’s speed-camera program will continue to operate “focusing on improving road safety in school zones.”

Ford’s logic: no need for speed cameras, there are “other ways” to slow down traffic. Yeah let's try traffic jams, potholes, and bad policy. Whatever you do, just never punish bad drivers. P.S. I love watching my news on the big CBC screen

As someone who always advocates for bringing those impacted by our design to the design table, I'm seeing a lot of over engagement in municipal projects. Where we, the designers, can benefit the most from community input is the visioning stage.

The Media is always quick to blame the “cyclist” for riding on a side walk, not coming to a complete stop at stop sign, but a driver injuring or killing vulnerable road users, the “car/truck/SUV” did it. We must protect the driver at all costs! Why?

Shawn Micallef: Doug Ford’s attack on speed cameras shows how good politics can make for lousy public policy
The premier’s comments on Tuesday should be a moment for Ontarians to think whether the province is a place of law and order or where vigilantes can influence government policy.

White pants etiquette should follow the solar calendar. I propose we push the cut-off to the fall equinox.

Once there was a new lady at the dog park and when I started talking to her she was like “I’m actually just dog-sitting for this German Shepherd because the owner is at Burning Man. The dog’s name is Hegemony.” This is the story I tell when people ask me what San Francisco is like.

It’s taken forever (sewer work etc) but the new Harbord lanes are looking great. Planters! Green rides. Lay the concrete deep so the bastards will have a hellofa time ripping them out.

🚨🚨 City of Toronto is going to resurface Eglinton Ave between Keele and Mt Pleasant without the already approved bike lanes. We need to do something right now.

Speaking of ice cream in the parks, the same is true on our waterfront. Working on the Western Beaches these days (west of Ontario Place to the Humber River), you can walk or bike for over 4km without finding much beyond a lone Pizza Pizza kiosk and a seasonal ice cream shop. Here is the reason why:

Finally defected. After the siege of Twitter, I’ve made it to Bluesky. The air already feels more breathable. Hello neighbours!
