In my experience, the Lycra crowd usually rides in the vehicles lanes.

I find it very hard to believe many voters care much what riding they are a part of.

I think any measures need to be weighed against how much they deter active transportation. Harassing cyclists for going 25 kph in a 20 zone or rolling a stop sign doesn't make anyone materially safer, and making cycling less convenient leads to less active transportation use and associated...

A bus every 3 seconds is a bit nonsensical. A bus every 60 seconds would have higher throughput than a general purpose lane. MTO isn't a fiefdom, they answer to politicians.

Ontario had one additional riding added in the federal redistricting. I don't think the riding boundaries changed all that materially as a result. I'm not sure why Ford is so defensive on this matter.

You only would need them at the bottom of slopes/near crossings. All that said, cars kill and injure many more people than bicycles.

Sounds like $40B in transit spending. Governments can buy a lot of votes with that kind of commitment in other areas.

Pretty breathtaking ignorance on Ford's part. Of course, he's trying to justify himself to low-info voters in his base who probably consume too much US political news via FOX, etc.

You could much more effectively control this by adding a speed hump that posting police there once a year to issue fines. There are traffic calming devices for cyclists as well. https://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2011/11/speedbumps-on-cycle-path.html

I don't think there is anything magical about keeping a line on one street. The value is being able to move between destinations quickly, and with few transfers. Straight lines generally help with that, but making people transfer to hit a major destination instead of diverting the line to reach...

The accused is of course not an asylum seeker or even immigrant, having been born and raised in the UK to Rwandan-born parents.

I don't think the BRT is designed for people to ride from Waterdown to Kipling. There is value in just not creating discontinuity.

Ford has definitely been eluding accountability for many things, but I rather think he alluded to funding the loop.

I don't think pond blueing dye will stain at dilute concentrations.

He's a pretty hateable guy. I get that. But I think that strong dislike blinds people and deprives them of perspective.

Canada is likely to copy whatever protectionist measures the US adopts wet Chinese OEMs in Mexico. Depending on who wins the presidency. I don't think Kamala is as ride or die for UAW as Biden.

I guess it is a coincidence that Musk was involved in these companies.

Credit is for management, not the engineering. He created the organizations that achieved these things. Thousands of engineers and others do the actual design work.

Where are all the other capable private launch companies? Why does SpaceX have 85% share of mass to orbit? Blue Origin started before SpaceX and is still dithering. Even after trying to copy them. Imagine if they didn't have the competitive pressure.

Not sure I agree. Tesla has been a big force in the Chinese market and Chinese OEMs benchmark themselves against Tesla.
