The case for Regional Rapid Transit, explained #bcpoli
Denis Agar (he/him)@denisagar.bsky.social
Sometimes you come across a stat that stops you in your tracks. Today I learned that TransLink's 555 has the 8th highest rate of boardings per hour, which is mindblowing. Why? Highway express routes like this aren't supposed to do well on that metric. They usually don't have a lot of ons and offs

Great discussions happening today about what makes for effective transit priority.
I'm struck by how important the basics of urban design are for making it work - refuge islands, tight turns, and limited turn lanes produce short pedestrian crossings that let you insert a transit phase at any time.
Marco Chitti@chittimarco.bsky.social
The absurdity is that there is space here! But they shaped the island to provide super wide turning radiuses for left turning cars! It's just that everything in the current road design practices is engineered to make TSP or anything that is not the 3-4 phase vanilla suburban traffic cycle impossible

FINALLY a significant parking reform in Australia! "Apartments in areas across the state considered to be serviced by high-frequency public transport will no longer have a minimum parking requirement." cc @parkingreform.org
Patrick Siegman@siegman.biz
“It said that up to 40 per cent of residential car parks in inner #Melbourne were empty and that it cost developers $70,000 per home to provide parking under current requirements."

I forget where, I read a thread the other day about OMNY being canceled for commuter rail and recall comments about how Cubic basically has a monopoly. It seems weird, but I work for a large company, and in a very, very prominent B2B SAS space we use - there technically are other

Transit priority is essential to move people around the city and encourage people to choose it over cars.
Steve Munro@swanboatsteve.bsky.social
Here's a question for City pols: the issue of poor/no tsp on Finch and Eglinton has been known for months as well as the culprits. Why have you been sitting on your hands? Who gave the order *not* to give real transit priority to LRT?

Let's have a serious chat about car dependency. Way too many people at a city DFL event today told me they couldn't imagine removing the interstate highway that cleaves their city in two, poisons its generations and ruins the tax base, ensuring jobs and critical services are sited elsewhere.

It really says something that Polis turned his back on his own legacy project (the "rusty waterslide" pedestrian bridge) but still thinks we should take Hanania seriously.

Wait, the Finch West LRT includes bike lanes for the whole corridor?
I‘ve change my mind. Great project. Worth every penny.

Sort of want to buy this just to park it on the street as traffic calming. Cities won’t let you put planters or bollards up, but you can park cars there forever.

All the red lights people say at today beg to differ

There have been a few good pieces in @thestar.com about this. This is from one of them:

After about 5 minutes stuck at a red light (which felt like a very long time) and multiple cycles, I decided to go against the red at this complex intersection. Cars often get green by default, but the bike lane relies on a flaky sensor across the street from a K–8 school.
