Are you the Transportation Minister for Brampton. /s

She should have went to Arby’s.

Arby’s | We Have The Meats

Maybe just Ontario? Though there does seem to be a common recurring theme in Canada these last few decades where its easier to not take action and say we tried everything, rather then taking action and solve problems.

Its always easier to take no action and not upset one group or another, zero-sum game, as opposed to take action and have a small group upset at the end result.

In both cases the Canadian in charge of the action, or inaction, says “Sorry, eh”.

This whole removal of bike lanes on Toronto’s roadways that are classified as streets is so backwards.

Streets are for the people that live on them. Streets are a destination points.Roads are designed to get you from point a to point b. Roads are not a destination and don’t care about the community they cut through.

We are removing key infrastructure in our cities that directly supports the residents living within these areas, and replacing it to serve suburban commuters that live outside the city.

We need to make city centres more enjoyable and walkable. We need to make city centres more accessible to families. Having people move out of the city and commute into it everyday is the opposite of this. We need more choice in housing sizes and units layouts, we need more schools that are not at capacity.

There needs to be a greater push in how North America classifies its roadways. There are key differences between streets, roads, high-speed roads, highways, and interstates. All these classifications impact how these roadways serve the people around them, and how people use them. For example you would not put a sidewalk next to a highway car lane.

Instead these last few decades its been either “strode’s” or highway. In some cases even strode’s acting as highways as well.

Found the DHD, covered by some shrubs.

Something similar was done in Japan for walking and texting (or looking at your phone screen). Makes sense the same would translate to all modes of transportation including cars.

Though, jail time may be a little harse for communicating with people over a phone.

That’s the thing, when people hear the term micro they still (for some reason) assume its something they can see with their naked eyes. Kind of like those plastic pellets put into handsoaps a while back that are now band.

In reality microplastics are everywhere there is plastic, and they are released all the time at a microscopic level. Meaning you actually need a microscope to see them. Its like a fine dust.

Now think of all the plastic items you use and come in contact with.

Toothbrushes for example, each time you brush your teeth the brisels break down at a microscopic level and are released. The plastic utensils you use either in the kitchen on your pans, or the single use ones for food, they all slowly release plastics. That plastic cutting board, or boiling water in a plastic kettle, yup they all also release plastic.

Pretty much everything breaks down at a microscopic level, that is how knives become dull, or how items show wear and tear over time.

We have a similar issue in Toronto where our tram operators speed between stations/stops, and go in and out of turns at ludicrous speed (as if they were driving a car).

Trams as well as buses end up backed up as a result because of this excessive need to speed. One of the reasons I somewhat hate Toronto transit operators as they toss us around inside the transite vehicles.

Most roundabouts in Ontario are two lane roundabout. I have yet come across a three lane or four lane roundabout

My general consensus for two lane roundabouts is treat the inside of the roundabout as you would a regular signaled intersection, in that you dont change lanes inside the intersection.

If you came up to the intersection on the right you exit straight, or turn right. You can’t change your mind inside the intersection and turn left from the right lane. (Though this does not seem to stop a few motorists I have seen).

Alternative view of roundabouts (same principal), treat them like a continuous roadway. If you are in the right lane you dont suddenly turn fully left. Similarly if you are in the far left you dont suddenly turn fully right cutting everyone behind you off.

To add, if you did enter the roundabout incorrectly and ended up going in another direction then you originally desired, its generally best to continue through and course correct on the next roundabout or car park/parking lot.

This picture looks like both the mom and dad became one person.

This was most favourite (only favorite) location within LA California. Its a shame this is only a outdoor shopping center and the tram is only used as an attraction/ride. Everything else I saw outside this location was too car centric and repetitive in layout and design.

This entire one block community is a high density, car free community with shopping, restaurants, entertainment and transit. Its a perfect example of what the rest of LA and north America should strive to be. Excellent use of space and planning.

Everything about this intersection looks to be done so well. Excellent planing and conception.

I love how the tram way changes to cobblestone once it crosses the street, prevents vehicle traffic from turing onto the tracks.

Politicians take interest.

Got to love that double D

Downdate - The practice of dating someone that is a number lower then you. Carly is a 10 dating a 7. Carly is downdating.

And on 1 transistor there are 3 pins. When you put 1 and 3 together you get 13. Coincidence?! I think not!

Wish we would stop adding lanes already. The 401 is a complete mess as it is already in design and interchanges.

Get all trucks to stay in the right lane, and make highway layouts more efficient by not having that right lane disappear into a offramp. Also remove trucks off the express sections altogether. Resever the express to light vehicles. Add surcharges to delivery and trucking companies exceeding certain vehicle sizes. Add surcharge zones for car traffic in downtown neighbourhoohs.

Stop expanding suburbs and instead add density to cities and towns. Add alternative transportation such as trains, subways, trams, buses, cycaling infrastructure, pedestrian sidewalls and trails. Convert office spaces to lofts and apartments, allow low rise 4-5 story mixed use developments on existing parcels with point access stairwells.

Add reasons for families to stay in cities, make it affordable compared to a suburban single family home so they can live where they may work as opposed to comuting into the city by car.

Any chance Jellyfin and Finamp have a music playlist and mix building feature?

Plex has this with Plexamp but I have not had a chance to look into jellyfin to see if a plugin offers something similar.

I hate building playlists, Plex offers a few different options like sonic sage, sonic adventure, artist mix builder, and automatic mixes based on past listening history.

The more alternative transportation options we provide in our cities and towns frees up that space for the remaining vehicular traffic.

I have no idea why a large part of motorists does not see this concept. Instead they seem to fight against it in their own best interests.

If you commute to work in a car and there are another 100+ road users with you all headed in the exact same direction, would you prefer them all to be in individual cars? Or would you prefer a few of those people take the tram, a few take a bus, a few hop on the subway, a few cycle, and the remaining few who can walk?

I would really like to get a critical mass group going in toronto so we can bike all the major streets in Toronto in groups of hundreds or more.
