This is the way.

🎵 Like a bad neighbor, snow still to clear. 🎵

I hate using slide count as a metric, it discourages using simple transitions to convey sequences naturally. I’d rather have a new metric for information density.

I’ve heard the McKinley Park Development Council is working on a similar signage program between their business and 35th/Archer, guiding customers to the shops and riders to the transit.

We should have more transit wayfinding basically everywhere. It’s cheap advertising!

One of the best features of RPM construction was the clear signage pointing you to the station from the nearest blocks. It helps connect the main shopping area to the transit hub.

Paid for by fees on delivery robots! Using accessibility and compliance data collected by sensors on delivery robots!

I wish I could take literally any politician to Vancouver so they could see what 100 second frequencies can do. It’s radicalizing for automation and screen doors. Trains come so often you wouldn’t bother to walk faster in order to catch one.

@capitolfax.bsky.social seems to have a lot of time with site comments closed for Thanksgiving week, and I am 👏 here 👏for 👏 it

One last pull quote to highlight from the @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social video:

"It changed the way we build, because the city changed the way it builds."

If you build (the infrastructure), they will (build what they are allowed to under current zoning codes).

BC Transit is running a really good bus service on the island's south tip, but the frequency of double-decker buses implies they'd have enough ridership for rail. I think that both helps bikes be competitive, but limits the development potential to build new hubs for a broader mobility community.

I have one complaint about the Galloping Goose and E&N trails, in that they took away both rail corridors between Victoria and Langford, the 3rd fastest growing city in Canada at a 59% growth rate.

The elevated intersection of separated bike trails going into a cycletrack bridge into downtown was peak infrastructure. I also appreciated how bikes don't need a signal to safely navigate an intersection like this, unlike some other vehicles...

I bet @cpearsall242.bsky.social will love these micromobility signs. I wouldn't mind this becoming a standard here.

I mean, what's it like to live in a city with MULTIPLE bike counting totems?

I also loved the variety of locally-themed bike parking and covered shelters, and I especially loved how they used bike racks to daylight near protected lanes.

Having a protected intersection right in front of the visitor centre was a pretty bold statement of values.

"Waste heat from power generation is captured to heat water, which is circulated through 190 miles of tubing laid underneath the pavement and sidewalks back to the Holland BPW power plant. The system pumps over 4,700 gallons of water per minute at 95 degrees to melt 1 inch/hour."

I do wonder what the business model is for not being able to make deliveries at the time of year people are most likely to order delivery.
