Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

The UCP has a record of adding administrative failure to terrible policy and harming already vulnerable people. The emails about AISH to ADAP and this terrible rollout have only increased. All Albertans deserve better. #ableg #abpoli

My god. In an interview with Vassy Kapelos, Danielle Smith said that because TC Energy built a pipeline in 18 months in the 1950s we should be able to do the same today. Does she think companies and the crown respected Indigenous rights then? How will Indigenous communities react to her comments?
