A surprising in-depth analysis of the e-bike/e-moto debate in the Times today.
It would be nice if the city could get on top of an issue before it turns the public against class 1 e-bikes.

I admit I'm rusty on design best practices and standards, but it seems to defeat the purpose of a Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) if you don't prohibit right turn on red. 🤔

“After nearly every pedestrian death, we ask: Who messed up? What could the victim have done differently? What imperfect behavior led to this tragedy?… But here's what that framework systematically fails to ask: Why was this crash possible in the first place?”

Over the weekend, the federal government quietly released additional details about Build Canada Homes. The increased transparency reveals a program that prioritizes 1- and 2-bedroom low-rise homes and lacks genuine support for innovation.

In today’s least surprising local news, speed display signs aren’t enough to make our roads safer.
Speed display signs only slow drivers down by 1km/h: Halifax report
Halifax has installed nearly 50 speed display signs around the municipality, but on average they only slow down drivers by less than one km/h, according to a new staff report.

We're back today with Edmonton's Winters - the Good, the Bad, and the Data (Part 2).
Let's talk snow!
(Our only snowfall measurement is at the airport, which is quite a bit colder than the city. But it's what we've got, so we'll use it)

We have a lot of road widening projects coming up in #yeg. We should be asking if it’s worth the millions to limit congestion for a few minutes each day.

We never got called on to talk at the Traffic safety meeting. I did get a chance to bring up most of our points after.
Emotions were high and people are frustrated with our unsafe streets. 🧵

Another predictable fatality in Edmonton.
The city built a MUP on that intersection encouraging people to cross. There are multiple slip lanes and no infrastructure to slow drivers down.

With the increased size of SUVs and trucks Edmonton should update our daylighting laws. 5m only in the direction of travel is not enough. Why should you have to enter the road to be visible?

Another avoidable collision #yegbike
This is right in the middle of LRT construction. The temporary MUP in the area ins't particularly great, and many of the projects intersections are unsafe crossings.
We need to do better.
Hopefully everyone involved in this collision is ok!

After 20:00hrs Thursday, EMS and the EFRS responded to a serious collision in the area of 111ST & 9AVE. A youth on a bicycle was reportedly hit by a driver. (Exact location is not currently known) No current update on injuries. #yeg
