Une magnifique journée aujourd'hui avec de nouvelles infos sur le projet de Tramway de Québec : TramCité!
Je fais un thread ici pour résumer les annonces de dernières heures à propos du projet.
D'ailleurs, voici la nouvelle carte du projet ainsi que le site web de CDPQi.

Good moment to remember that electric cars are still cars.
They still :
- Cause congestion
- Affect pedestrians/cyclists security
- Affect negatively the way we plan our cities
- Pollute a lot more at their assembly and still release small particles from their tires
- heavier = causes more damage

In the second quarter of 2025, 21% of cars sold in Canada were electric or hybrid.
The highest rates are in Quebec (24%) and British Columbia (30%). Ontario is about average (20%).
Alberta is missing from the data, but nearby Saskatchewan has the lowest rate in the country (11%).

Sans parler du fait que les Conservateurs de l’Alberta dirigé par Smith et leur penchant fédéral ont fait et font encore des campagnes d’intimidation et d’attaques personnelles contre Mr Guilbeault pour le simple fait qu’il désir mettre un frein à leur envie de détruire notre planète.
L'ancien ministre de l'Environnement, qui a toujours eu maille à partir avec les positions défendues par la première ministre de l'Alberta, Danielle Smith, dit que cette dernière « ne sera jamais contente », et que « ce n'est pas un partenaire fiable ». #TLMEP

Myth: drivers deserve more space on roads than cyclists & pedestrians because they pay registration and gas taxes
Facts: (1) registration and gas taxes don’t cover all the costs of road construction and maintenance; (2) most bikers/peds also have a car (90% of US households owns one)

Fuck capitalism, but he’s right yall
Bikes are capitalistic tools. They are cheaper to operate, more nimble, can park anywhere, are easily storable, require less capital, are more easily scaled due to lower training requirements and fewer regulations, etc etc.
Cars are communism.
The proof is in the pudding.

The shift to cargo bike logistics is great, but it requires a parallel shift in infrastructure.
When you replace a delivery van with a cargo bike, you are moving freight capacity from the road to the bike lane. If you don't expand the bike lane to handle it, you're just creating a bottleneck.

I’m not trying to be the fun police and I want us to be able to joke around and get along (I love Chris Wilson!)
But if we’re going to keep doing these events in the current political climate, the press might wanna be careful about what their laughter and cheers are normalizing

This would be a lot funnier if he showed any remorse for the journalist he disrespected in that apple-chewing moment (and the many others he’s attacked)
Without that, it just kinda feels like all the press and pundits cheering are saying “yeah that was fine, this is all a game”

I know I sound like a broken record on this and that’s OK.
Montreal gets a lot right. But one of my biggest disappointments of this city’s political establishment is saying “no” to an amazing automated train for the underserved east end of the city for largely aesthetic reasons.

The REM is great, but the tragedy might be that expertise fading away without another project
REM de l'Est was rejected because some people disliked the elevated portion above a 6-lane road
When projects get derailed so easily, each new project takes a long time and you always lose your experience

Toronto has some of the most used and highest frequency bus corridors on the continent.
It’s crazy they don’t/can’t go all in on making buses great (dedicated lanes, stop consolidation, etc.).
It’s not a city where you can even begin to pretend that “nobody rides the bus”.
