Since everyone’s arguing about speed cameras, let’s keep a couple facts in mind: 1) Research show that camera enforcement is much more popular than the media implies – in suburbs as well as cities. Lesson: Don’t conflate a few angry car owners with “public opinion.” (cont'd)

Automated Traffic Enforcement Is More Popular Than You Think

Cameras that ticket drivers who run red lights and speed are effective and widely popular with city residents. So why are they banned in so many places?

I’ve been getting some questions from residents about walking around the development at the old St. Pat’s high site. Here’s a little info update on sidewalks, pathway, and marked crosswalk.

The holidays are a time to celebrate, reflect, & plan. I'm glad parts of 2025 are over. 2026 has some concerns but there’s a lot to look forward to. I hope you get to spend time with family & friends, and you find time to pause, reflect, & enjoy the season. I hope 2026 is fantastic for you!

Car-dependent suburban sprawl is the most publicly expensive, publicly subsidized, and publicly consequential form of human habitation in human history. #SuburbanSprawl #CarDependency

WATCH: If you STILL don’t understand how car-dependent suburbia is HEAVILY SUBSIDIZED by downtown & all the urban parts of your city, watch this EXCELLENT video by @notjustbikes with @UrbanThree & @StrongTowns. And then please SHARE it as much as possible. youtu.be/7Nw6qyyrTeI

Graphics showing tax generation geographically in cities, showing the urban places significantly outperform.

Graphics showing tax generation geographically in cities, showing the urban places significantly outperform. Low density suburban places are a new drag, costing more than they generate, and are thus subsidized by the urban places.

Here’s the “elephant in the room” with the outstanding (and FAST) growth in urban biking here in Paris — the tension between 2 NATURAL ALLIES, people on bikes and people walking, needs work, lest it become a political wedge issue. City Hall reminds everyone that pedestrians have priority EVERYWHERE.

Paris Pike Lane noting “pedestrian priority“ at the point on the sidewalk where the bike lane and sidewalk overlap.

You can see the values of the Scottish Parliament manifest in the building itself: Stewardship; Inclusiveness; Excellence; and Respect. The seating plan reduces “oppositional” attitudes; there’s a childcare centre, baby-changing area, buggy storage; and amazing artwork.
