Toronto, but been travelling a lot, road safety, bikes, scooters, movies and walking… borkbork.ca
Looks like they sped it up. No need to offer to buy, they can just expropriate…and no need to have public consultations or meetings…

Did I get Canada into Eurovision?

Awww the kids are fighting again…

It would be really good if plannings items coming to council would indicate the impact changes are expected to have on carbon output…ie this new park is gonna reduce by (high/medium/low) amount…this new highway zoning is expected to create a few mega tons of co2 over its 50 year life…like this:

Not sure if you have seen this image from Ashok Elluswamy (head of Tesla AI)…but I suspect they already can do this…as of the recent version they use a LLM to figure out what to do if it gets stuck…

These guys are breaking so many of the bylaws…

Good news everyone, #topoli seems to have taken our advice and massively updated the parks bylaws…new signage is rolling out today…

This is all we need…

European patios really are next level to the stuff we get in Toronto…this one has a sliding door… #cafeto #topoli

Here is an example of giving cars better priority by giving them their own lane…in a lot of places the right lane might just be for bikes (hello toronto), pushing all the cars into the middle lane…and essentially gumming up the streetcar (not in this specific location, but you get the idea)…

They took the scaffolding down from the Parthenon…first time in 20 years apparently…

Also, I saw one of those, but it was for cars…in Estonia…could be useful on some roads in the suburbs.

Yup, can’t grow Micromobility if you ban it…docked scooters are everywhere these days and compatible with the bike share docks…most of the excuses the city has put forward are bunk…

Here is Chicago…what do you notice?
October 13, 2025 at 3:05 PM
It’s actually scooters. Here is Chicago…almost 40% of usage is e-scooters…
October 13, 2025 at 3:03 PM
Definitely lagging Chicago…what could we do to catch up?

This is what you see from Europe. Not gonna rely on a service where this is the first experience. I usually try to signup before I land…especially if there are ID or other requirements for e-devices…anyways, no docks at the airport…so I am likely already committed to transit…

Toronto, we should fix this…

This was from an email I sent to the team that wrote the report, asking if they had considered the use of hand carts….🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️🤷

lol…OpenNVidAMDSoftel is real…

In Latvia they just add a wooden deck to the existing platform…problem solved…and it feels like Muskoka…

They seem to have fixed it in the most recent version, there is now a magnifying glass icon if you click the icon in the left part of the url bar….
