Who are streets for?
81% of street space in Toronto is inequitably dedicated to motor vehicles. How can this be fairly re-designed?

I love a little bit of healthy civic rivalry
My @thestar.com column: Bike Share Toronto is booming. We’re smashing ridership records.
But it’s not enough. The growth still leaves us nowhere close to bike share ridership in Montreal.
With better balancing and more infrastructure, I think we can beat them.
