Personally: walking, running, or bicycling whenever I can. Professionally: researching how to make these modes safe, comfortable, and accessible. (she/her)

People will pay thousands of dollars to visit great examples of walkable urbanism around the world… then fight every aspect of it when they get home to their own communities.

Good transit service is a crucial part of active transportation. Buses that run once an hour on a milk run do not encourage people to get out of their cars. This is also a matter of accessibility and safety. Hoping that someone on the Transit Commission will quickly do something.

A week after the big snowfall, this persistent reminder on the @CRD Regional E&N Trail across from Admirals Walk that parking lots are more important than people who are walking, rolling, cycling, or running. How is this dumping not illegal? @ColinPlant2022
