We should get supered "Bike Share Enthusiast" at least once in our lives!

I’ve been in Brooklyn multiple times per week this year for doctor visits, work events, and my sons special class at the transit museum.

On Montague Street I finally got the see my second NYC spotting of a concrete ring ding and it’s new cousin the square cube being used as traffic calming!

Yeah. 😀

Yesterday in his class at Transit Museum my son obtained very elusive paper copies of a subway map & Manhattan bus map. They’re both years old but he couldn’t be happier. Hysterically, on the subway home he had the bus map open like this for 20 minutes straight. Obsessed.

Still can’t believe no reporters ever seem to confront this lady when she talks about the last 40 or 50 years of inaction or horrible policies by U.S. presidents and they always forget 4 of those years Trump was a president!!!

If you haven't already haven't looked into @urbantruth.bsky.social you should. As a filmmaker and urbanist/activist I greatly strive for the truth. And in this day and age we need more of it.

So I am on board with them and helping out in any way I can. Thanks Brent, Tom & Grant - 3 I respect!

The latest #sneckdown short on @streetfilms.bsky.social part of which I filmed on the way to my shoulder replacement surgery!! LOL! Yeah, a little crazy I did that, but I needed to take advantage of the snow on the ground!

I ❤️ when he loses. And now there’s nothing he can do. Well he could bomb the tolling gantries I guess….

Well at least we defeated him on this. Woohoo!!

It’s a strange quandary. But there are tons of TikTokers, Instagrammers & a crazy number of Reddits. Many methods in NYC the word gets out.

And then we are lucky there is Streetsblog leading the charge and other advocacy groups like @openplans.org & @transalt.org

NYC is the world of non profits.

Ad on housing and homelessness: “If we don’t build housing to solve homelessness, we don’t really want to solve homelessness.”

Ad on car dependency and mobility freedom: “Car Dependency isn’t freedom. Mobility freedom comes from mobility choices.”

Ad on walkable neighbourhoods and complete communities: “Walkable neighbourhood aren’t scary, they’re convenient.”

Text from the URBAN TRUTH COLLECTIVE website, “About Us” page: “The Collective will share persuasive research, evidence, and information in ways that will successfully break through the noise and influence decisions. The Collective will create new messaging, brands, and marketing campaigns to help expand understanding around the truth about better city-building, and build defences to urban disinformation. And the collective will forcefully call out the lies, and the liars, that seek to undermine both the truth about, and the achievement of, better cities for people.“

A BIG thank you to everyone for all the interest and energy during our official LAUNCH WEEK! Trust us, this is just the beginning, as we continue to “build this plane while we’re flying it.” Please keep helping us spread the word, and stay tuned for more details on how to get involved. #UrbanTruth

'It's the end of the city': Battle over sixplexes continues in Toronto YouTube video by CityNews

“It’s the end of the city. Toronto sucks.”

“This is the beginning of a quiet decent neighbourhood in our city being destroyed simply because it’s on the new subway line.”

Totally normal reaction to a six-unit, three-storey residence being built near transit.

ou des quartiers à basse circulation, comme à Londres 😍

I was just walking down the 34th Ave. open Street, and I look up and this guy goes past me with multiple boxes on the front of his bike, a few boxes on the back of his bike & a chair strapped to the top! That’s NYC life!!

I’m actually tuning in for the first time in maybe 15 years (with the goal of getting thru it) because I want to be able to say that I saw the worst state of the union speech ever!!!

Hal Grades Your Bike Locking 2014 (Part IV) YouTube video by Streetfilms®

this is part of an occasional series going back DECADES and inspired by the great @streetfilms.bsky.social series "Hal Grades Your Locking" youtu.be/eKtr-lWxzZg?...

And was it even "Superb"?

SEE HERE on the news! (and lots of other posts!) To me that vehicle was just way too heavy!

From SNECKDOWN TO SINKHOLE!

Everyone is talking about/amused by/angry about the truck filled with salt by City Hall that "fell thru a sinkhole". Well that is the exact #sneckdown spot I profiled last storm!!!

From left, Doug Gordon, Sarah Goodyear, and Brent Toderian take a selfie in downtown Vancouver last fall. Doug is wearing a Seattle Kraken hat, Sarah is hatless, and Brent is wearing a Montreal Expos hat.

New episode up! We talked with planner @brenttoderian.bsky.social about how to build livable downtowns, what Vancouver does right, why developers should welcome regulation, and his brand-new venture to combat misinformation about cities, @urbantruth.bsky.social! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Welp! Looks like the northeast will have a good chance of temporary #sneckdowns!

What's that you say? WATCH!

HERE WE GO! #sneckdown-age of major proportions at 18-24 inches of snowfall!!!

Toronto shopping street

Half of business owners on this Toronto street estimated that more than 25% of their customers arrived by car.

In fact, it was 4%.

And the % of customers who who walked or cycled? 72%.

Retailers routinely overestimate the # of “car customers.” Via @carltonreid.com www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

Just saw “Good Luck. Have Fun. Don’t Die.” And it was hilarious, inventive & good sci-fi. (Also some nice cautionary messages about the future.)

Too bad so many won’t see it in the theaters due to a poor 1st week at box office. Such a great ride to see in theater. Imagine many will discover later.

We got on our way just in time for the sunrise. This is at 08.15.
