🔁 Announcement: U+ & Bikesky have joined forces on Discord! We're looking to expand together and I hope y'all check it out! The feeds will remain separate but we think rather than fragment our overlapping communities on another platform we join forces to better serve everyone :)

Hey urbanism friends, if y'all enjoy Urbanism+ be sure to check out the discord: discord.gg/kn5aafPHga It's pretty chill and we have a nice little community of woke orange pilled folks that would love to tell you how much they like trains and bike lanes.

And join the awesome @urbanism.plus feed 😉

Friendly reminder that you can report these kinds of victims blaming, anti-cyclist posts to @labeler.urbanism.plus

This is fantastic! Anyone here have some resources?

Eric@churchill.bsky.social · last yr.

@urbanism.plus I’m proud to be part of a municipal housing taskforce that recommended its city acquire a $10M housing bond which passed last week. Still a lot of work ahead of us. Would love to hear if anybody has any resources that could help put these dollars to their best & highest possible use.

I hate car ownership so much

License suspension doesn't keep drivers off the road, why would it work with bikes?

Live every day like it’s Bike to Work Day.

It's a beautiful day for a bike ride

I had the joy of experiencing my first school #bikebus today, to take my godson on Budlong’s inaugural ride! #bikechi Favorite kid quotes: “It’s like a school bus but with bike wheels” “This is the best way to get to school” “I could do this everyday”

I wrote a longform post on some of my thoughts, pictures, videos and experiences with Chinese urbanism. But Noah Smith consistently misses the mark on what living in urban China is actually like as well as the strengths and weaknesses of Chinese cities. Link in next post.

Our non-existent pedestrian infrastructure along arterials is inexcusable. Concrete barriers should be a legally required bare minimum effort (at Access NS, Bayer's Lake, 311'd numerous times)

EVs are, at best, harm reduction. A sedan EV/compact car is better than an E-SUV. Walkable urban neighborhoods, ebikes, and transit are even better than EVs.

opposition to bus lanes from people who have more cars than can fit in their driveway and live a resulting life of carbrain-inflicted misery are the equivalent of people who take more than their share of food at a function and start complaining that they have a stomach ache
