A school is reopening in North Van and that's exciting. We think some of the decisions around how kids can get there need to be revisited. #safestreets #northvan #visionzero www.betternorthshore.ca/blog/cloverl...

Every picture tells a story...

Victim appears to be very close to the crosswalk

Meanwhile in Red Bank NJ, a pedestrian was hit on Shrewsbury Ave this morning... No more details, but every picture tells a story.

After a multi-year period of deliberation, copious publicity, and installation of very clear signage, the City of #KingstonNY has turned on school zone #speedcameras for a thirty-day warning period.

Across four school zones, they are averaging FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY WARNINGS (550) PER DAY […]

Volunteers with Central Indiana Cycling just finished loading up a truck with demonstration safety project supplies, posing for a group photo.

Archer Avenue reimagined as a six-lane highway with congested traffic and shuttered businesses on either side.

On second thought, maybe we don’t need bike lanes, pedestrian islands, and curb extensions on Archer.

Maybe what we really need is more driving lanes—enough to make a second highway cutting through the southwest side 🙌

An unlit public streetlight on a tall pole next to the "Crazy About Costumes" storefront along a city street at night.

It’s hard to show off a great costume in the dark. We just filed a streetlight repair request to make sure light returns to the Crazy About Costumes storefront. #SafeStreets

The Best Ebike for Commuters After four years of research and months of testing, we finally have an ebike we recommend for commuters, the Specialized Globe Haul ST.

Useful and informed article about actual eBikes from Wirecutter.
Maybe New Jersey legislators should read it before they bring in more totally trumped up laws and amendments.
Also explains how Cat3 eBikes are eBikes and NOT motos...

The evidence is already in front of us, every day, on every street. #VisionZero means designing streets where these incidents are far less likely to happen. Because predictable harm shouldn’t be normalised & #SafeSystems aren’t optional, they’re overdue #SafeStreets #RoadSafety 3/3

Globe editorial: A low-carbon future needs an electric jolt A shift away from fossil fuels might look desirable, in the face of soaring fuel prices. But first Canada will need to jump-start electricity generation

Globe and Mail newspaper reminding people that the future is a low carbon future.
Decarbonizing transportation requires electric vehicles sure, but also safe bike-lane urban-mobility infrastructure, to avoid needing to use a car at all.

I think we can say, the powers that be in Red Bank NJ completely miss the point.

A group of people sitting in the gallery at the City of Winnipeg council meeting, March 26, 2026. Most are in red, showing their support for the late Rob Jenner and his partner after Rob was killed in a violent traffic hit and run.
