How Paris redesigned itself to be a city of bikes—not cars Over the last 12 years, Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo fundamentally reshaped the City of Lights. As she leaves office, this is the story of how she reclaimed the city’s public spaces from cars, covered the...

Small cities that are being choked by motor vehicle traffic really have no excuse for not becoming car-free or at least car-lite!

The Government of Trinidad and Tobago is wilfully blind to #ActiveTravel! Fully committed to car dependency in a tiny place that can easily be served by proper public transit and safe active travel infrastructure! #LeadershipMatters #PoliticalWill #EndCarDependency #MobilityIsEquity

We've got a streetlighting problem in the capital city of Trinidad and Tobago! #LeadershipMatters #PoliticalWill #MobilityIsEquity

Belgian commutes pay off: Employees earn up to €810 for cycling to work One in five people in Flanders commuted by bike and received compensation last year, but this figure is significantly lower in Brussels and Wallonia.

This is due to Flanders having better cycling infrastructure. It is not as easy to cycle longer distances in Wallonia.

*When are we going to learn in Trinidad and Tobago?*

Progressive Paris has many weapons to fight the far right, but the best? Spaces where you can simply hang out | Alexander Hurst Drop into any of the French capital’s ‘third places’ and you’ll find food, culture, community – and an antidote to the disaffection extremists feed on, says Guardian Europe columnist Alexander Hurst

In Paris, the sheer prevalence and recurrence of third places across time and arrondissements is no accident, but evidence of deliberate political infrastructure – the kind that forms a bulwark against the isolation and disconnection that fuels far-right grievance politics. #PoliticalWill

We're doing this crazy math in tiny Trinidad! Choking ourselves with motor vehicles on an island that's 50 miles x 37 miles! #CarBrain #MobilityIsEquity #PublicTransit #ActiveTravel #PoliticalWill #LeadershipMatters #BadMath

His observations make me think about analyzing my own space and how it can become so much better. It'll never happen as long as we eat, breathe, and sleep motor vehicles!

Climate Wars. Iran war speeds transition to renewable energy - Michael West Despite the avalanche of fossil propaganda, decarbonsiation is happening, and the Iran War will only speed it up.

All we lack for the #renewable transition is #politicalwill. The insane Iran war could speed it up.

What Scotland’s early hustings tell us about the future of active travel ahead of the election Our Scotland Advocacy Lead, Scott Runciman, reflects on recent hustings events and what they signal about political parties’ commitment to active travel ahead of the 7 May election in Scotland

The future of #ActiveTravel is bleak in Trinidad and Tobago! #Motonormativity is at crisis levels and there's a national aspiration towards personal car ownership! There's zero #PoliticalWill towards fixing #PublicTransit and building safe #BikeInfrastructure!

As a driver, cyclist and pedestrian, I see reckless drivers every single time that I venture onto streets and roadways. There is nothing that I can do to stop them. It's very frustrating being a road safety advocate in Trinidad and Tobago! #PoliticalWill #LeadershipMatters #EndCarDependency

Innocent couple’s journey ends in death on highway A man was killed in a highway crash near the Munroe Road Flyover on Sunday afternoon after a pickup crossed the median and slammed into an oncoming car.

"The crash caused traffic gridlock that lasted for hours." #RIP

*Is this sentence necessary?*

The authorities refuse to lower speed limits, redesign our roads, enable speed cameras and enforce laws! Car crashes can be prevented! #EndCarDependency #PoliticalWill

I’m driving less. I don’t want to see the world through a driver’s eyes any more Before I began driving less, I had long had a melancholic sense that the city lifestyle I lived was cut off from the seasons and nature

Buildings, gardens, trees, flowers, people’s faces – the enormous ecology of city life is there to be studied up close as I move slowly through it.

I want my next mayor & elected municipal rep to have this type of VISION.

A multifaceted, multipronged approach at solving multiple issues at the same time.

It's hard because there is no TRY in #PoliticalWill but there is WILL.

Do More because it has To Be Done. #TOPoli bsky.app/profile/lanr...

Let's not give Tate's bigotry and misinformed rhetoric the prominence of anything close to a vision for the City of Toronto.

That said, the low-hanging fruit that his 'grub-like mind set' feed on could easily be tackled. Our elected leaders lack the #PoliticalWill to take it on.

Maybe we should be suing the Government of Trinidad and Tobago for not installing safe bike infrastructure for transport!

If you know the story of Jones Av here in #TorontoDanforth you know It’s clearly going to be a long, long wait to have someone with the #PoliticalWill to chose the safety of vulnerable road users over the convenience of drivers street parking.
