The Progressive Caucus is united in our position: any COVID relief package MUST include survival checks and enhanced unemployment assistance — the two most effective ways to put money directly in people's pockets. RT if you're with us.

get you a mayor who says this
Quote from Montreal's mayor, Valérie Plante: "I wasn't elected to please everybody. I have a clear vision. I said it from the start. The express bike lane network, let me remind you, was in my campaign platform. The people voted for me. They knew about it. I'm not going to hide, I'm not embarrassed. I have a duty to think of the city of the future. And, especially, to think not just about myself and my approval rating. I'm making a city for my children, my grandchildren, and your grandchildren."

People in Seattle want Stay Healthy Streets so badly that some of them are taking the signs and moving them to their street. I'm excited that we're going to discuss this at a council meeting in Bothell for the first time next Tuesday.

Vision Zero Team: speed limit reductions to 25 mph in/near urban areas with just signs reduced high end speeding (40 mph) by 45-65%, collisions dropped by 18-39%, and injury collisions dropped by 11-31%.

Hey Siri, which mode should I primarily build for if I want really bad congestion?

Liveability is all about making educated choices & budget shows where u place value. This pic shows no. of people u can move per hr on a 3.5m wide city lane. Car is most spatially inefficient transport mode for moving people. So there u have it!

The @CityofBhamWA can’t be bothered to flip the automatic ped recall switch, so residents are fashioning beg-button swords. youtu.be/2VvdJPQY05I

The big barrier to transformative transportation safety is the gatekeepers of "standards" in my profession.

Leaders with vision know this is a moment of reinvention. We won’t - and shouldn’t - go back to the way we were. We can reset our cities, embracing liveability, walking and cycling, clean air and prioritizing the safety of seniors and children. theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…

The #StayHealthyStreets in the CD has been a huge success so far! It’s never crowded, but every few minutes you’ll see an elder walking, a couple running, a family walking their dogs, or kids biking in the street. Can’t wait for citywide expansion. Thanks @MayorJenny @seattledot!
