NHIZ @nerdhobbiesinzo.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Yes. With the Northmount proposal and the 10 year plan to do 32 Ave to the South, things would be a lot better. Lots of traffic coming from Confederation Park. 020

NHIZ @nerdhobbiesinzo.bsky.social · 30/09/2026While I agree this can't be the only approach to the issue, I think it begins to address the problem you pointed out with the rules being dense and buried. I liken this to geofenced speeds. Just a piece of the puzzle "Green box cameras" could be put up in hot spots to issue warnings/tickets too. 010
NHIZ @nerdhobbiesinzo.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Seems like this could easily be fixed in modern vehicles with a QR code posted at the green boxes. Modern vehicles have cameras that can position a vehicle in 3d space, read QR xodes & display info on the dash. It could display quick rules on green boxes, show where you shouldn't be on the camera. 100

NHIZ @nerdhobbiesinzo.bsky.social · 30/09/2026An option for a bike commuter bypass on 2 Ave would take a lot of cyclists like me out of this high conflict area. There's too much complexity from Delta gardens to Center street. City planners don't factor in non-walkers. Say like pre-dawn, no lights, dark clothes joggers darting thru Delta. 010
NHIZ @nerdhobbiesinzo.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I've had one presta develop a slow leak and zero schraders do it. On the other hand, my schraders need to be topped up every day or two and my prestas can last a week or two in the same riding. 100
NHIZ @nerdhobbiesinzo.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I have mixed feelings on presta. They were annoying to learn and are sometimes annoying to catch but, my bike with presta seems to hold pressure better than my bike with schrader. 100
