Vancouver: Single Stair Code + "Villages" Plan Critics will be critics, but the truth is we've never seen single stair urbanism in action in Canada (or most of North America). It's a new thing.

Single stair small lot apartment building, 4 storeys with retail at grade.
Adjacent buildings include single stair flats, multiplexes and single family homes. 3D model and concept by Lanefab / Oori Architecture. Rendered by Gemini.

@ohtheurbanity.bsky.social my wife and I are planning on visiting Montreal at the end of July, and plan on staying in Plateau-Mont-Royale. Any suggestions for must do activities/places to visit in the area? Bonus for bike friendly options! I've visited 3-4 times, but haven't been since 2018

The only thing “carbon capture” has ever been successful at, is acting as a corporate and political distraction from, and an excuse for avoiding, REAL climate action.

Halifax has been positive in job growth since March 2025, likely because of increased defense and military spending

5 bikes of various types (regular, ebike, cargo bike) are parked outside a restaurant, NA shop and hair salon. People are sitting on the patio at the restaurant.

I am super grateful for a local bike store that loans me a cargo bike so we can keep up our daily kid-carrying while our bike is in the shop, but there’s nothing like getting your own bike back. It’s very reassuring that we really have chosen the right bike for our family’s needs!

I'm continually impressed at how motornormativity causes people to create a revisionist history of American cities where they sprouted up fully formed and filled with cars and parking spots. Motornormativity also causes these people to ignore the many places that have reversed car dependency.

There's a difference between feeling unsafe and uncomfortable. MLAs are not unsafe in Province House. Closing down the second floor to the public is a cowardly move. They did it because some of the MLAs feel uncomfortable with the cuts, and won't admit it.

I finally watched Andor S2 recently and I can't help but think about this quote from the show "The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

I’m finding it painful to watch CBC platform mostly conservatives to gush praise at former Prime Minister Stephen Harper (they’re releasing his archival collection) with almost zero commentary about the awful things he did while in power & around the world since. The selective amnesia is nauseating.

It only makes sense to feed buses into the higher capacity transit. People don't mind transfers when they are reliable and comfortable. Wish Halifax could just figure that out and build commuter trains on the right of way that already exists
