Fairly densely built Dutch neighbourhood I just biked through. Lots of green space still. Very quiet despite the density.

I checked my ebike here in Amsterdam that my daughter uses. She has put 5000km on it in the last 2 years 🤯. Doesn’t need a car just bikes everywhere.

Six lane Main St was a waste of money and a drain on our north end community. The new changes slow down cars and make it a nice trek uptown. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j65...

Dutch bridge gets a temporary tent built on it so that maintenance can continue through bad weather. This is an important bridge for busses and active transportation, not cars. 🤩 www.facebook.com/reel/1101298...

I like the new Main St changes.. I walked home yesterday and what a great difference, it's a pleasant walk now.

We're selling our family cottage / house - it's winterized. It has a ridiculous amount of beachfront, multiple decks and has big windows overlooking the river, hot tub which is amazing at 7am + high speed internet which was always a must. Jason Stephen is our listing agent - MLS soon. #waterfront

CBC had an article about PFAS, common in firefighting foam (I'm wondering if it was in the foam used at the AIM fire)

For SJ, shows: But isn't the city's water intake literally right next to the airport?

Well done whoever made these.
Oh no, someone's made some stickers to stick on controlled pedestrian crossing points in an attempt to encourage the council to change the timings.
