It isn’t that hard to design a city that reduces conflict between road users. Cities around the world are already doing it. We simply need to recognize the outsized role cycling can play in moving people efficiently, then design our streets to make that possible. 2.5K views · 44 likes · 8 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

There is absolutely a cultural problem around cycling but culture doesn’t emerge in a vacuum; it is shaped by our streets. Poorly defined road space puts drivers, cyclists and pedestrians in conflict, so it’s no surprise that our streets can feel like a battlefield for everyone. 3.7K views · 35 likes · 5 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

Transforming Canada’s housing industry will take more than fixing any one part of the system. Planning, financing, design, procurement, manufacturing and construction are deeply interconnected.

@jen_keesmaat I’ve lived and worked in Toronto for over a decade. I walk, cycle, drive and take the TTC. My concern isn’t cycling itself. It’s the riding culture I’ve repeatedly encountered: aggression, shouting and impatience with other people sharing the space.

We've grown London's network of Cycleways from 90km in 2016 to over 450km today. The number of cycle journeys have soared to 1.5m a day. We're not stopping there ... Great to see the progress on the new cycleway construction in Woolwich on route to Charlton @Royal_Greenwich htt

@jen_keesmaat just came back from Hanoi where they have segregated motorbike lanes on the highway. 9 million people. most on motorized 2 wheels - few traffic controls, few pedestrians - just collaborative movement. a few big SUVs clog it all up. 129 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

Love to see it. When I was Chief Planner I had a picture of my once 86 year old grandmother blissfully cycling to visit friends (in Holland, of course).

@jen_keesmaat @TorontoStar I’m so grateful for your planning of lanes in Toronto. Here’s my 84 year old father utilizing active transit every day. Traffic is moving well for the increase in density. Bike lanes are a 6-60 essential mode of healthcare and transport. https://t.co/6
