An effective way to give yourself an ulcer is to watch local city council meetings any time building more housing is on the agenda. You would not believe how many retired people who bought a house for $80,000 in 2001 are outraged at the thought of a golf course getting turned into housing.

🚨 Breaking News 🚨 Auckland Transport and the Eastern Busway Alliance have discovered an unknown effect that's jamming traffic on the new Rā Hihi intersection: they have dubbed it "higher traffic growth than expected" but experts say that it's something called "induced demand" or whatever. #nzpol

Update from the Eastern Busway Alliance
Auckland Transport and its Eastern Busway partners are carrying out investigations on
an improved Pakūranga Road and Rā Hihi intersection design that works for all road
users, by increasing throughput towards Howick in balance with bus passengers,
pedestrians, and cyclists.
The preferred design option for the improved intersection intends to:
 achieve three lanes through the Pakūranga and Rā Hihi intersection toward
Howick,
 ease the left turn so drivers don’t need to slow down as much; and
 aims to maintain the cycleway within the existing corridor.
The preferred design is subject to reviews to confirm the geometry of the left-turn, safe
sight lines and distances, pavement and kerb details, safety requirements, traffic lights
and signage. The design will be reviewed against the objectives of the Government
Policy Statement for Land Transport and the Eastern Busway business case.
We are aiming to start construction in the new year.
Although drivers using the new Rā Hihi (Reeves Road) flyover are enjoying quicker
journeys, there’s been delays for evening peak traffic heading towards Howick
on Pakūranga Road following this major change to the traffic network.
Further analysis of the current traffic shows higher volumes of vehicles on Pakūranga
Road than modelled in the original design. This is due to several factors and include
temporary lane closures for ongoing Eastern Busway construction, the new intersection
layout being unfamiliar so drivers slow down, road markings highlighting which lanes to

use being covered, queue jumping that disrupts traffic flows and higher traffic growth
than expected.
A significant number of drivers are still using their old route to get to Howick rather than
the new Rā Hihi - flyover route. AT and the Eastern Busway Alliance are encouraging
people to try the new flyover which is designed to be more direct and be the main traffic
route to and from Howick. This will include Variable Messaging Signs (VMS), semi-
permanent signage and other communications.
Other actions
 Changes to the Eastern Busway construction programme on Ti Rākau Drive and
temporary traffic layouts.
 Extra line marking and signage
 Communicate traffic layouts and alternative routes to encourage re-distribution
of traffic.
 Encourage the use of public transport options where it possible for people, for
example frequent bus services that make use of the Pakūranga to Panmure
busway which is separate from traffic, or the Half Moon Bay ferry service - which
also has connecting bus services.
Elsewhere on the project, drainage and pavement work is currently underway on Ti
Rākau Drive. Over the summer break, a section of Ti Rākau Drive from Aylesbury Street
to William Roberts Road will close and during this time, work is planned to be carried
out 24/7 from 27 December to mid-January with a detour via Cortina Place. By closing
the road, we’ve condensed several months of overnight work into just over two weeks,
minimising the long-term impact on road users, stakeholders and the local community.
More information on this work will be shared in the coming weeks.

Yes, HID headlights are very bright but the bigger problem is the proliferation of gargantuan vehicles with 5’+ hood heights so that if you’re driving a normal sized car their headlights are at your eye level rather than seat level like they’re supposed to be.

Let me get this straight: Recalling your city councillor because of a bike lane is in the spirit of recall legislation but recalling your UCP MLA b/c they've been non-responsive while getting rock hard over use of the Notwithstanding Clause is over the line. #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #yeg #yyc #ucp

Absolutely worth the arduous public transit trip (in my case bus/train/ferry/bus) to get to Clear Comfort. I can’t think of a more beautifully situated museum in the city. Summer, of course, the best time to go, but take a visit any season. A true haven. www.newyorker.com/culture….

The only thing on my mind today has been this battery snafu. Even in spite of this, in spite of Rad going under - I still maintain that my ebike has been the best purchase I've ever made.

Well, shit. What do I do now? They haven't caught fire in the 4.5yrs we've owned these bikes. I've left my bike in the rain several times over the years, and nothing bad happened. I don't want to spend $1,200 to replace these batteries.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using lithium-ion batteries for Rad Power Bikes e-bikes, model numbers RP-1304 and HL-RP-S1304, because the batteries pose a risk of serious injury and death.

(RP-1304 is highlighted)
Warning label from my RadCity 4 battery. The model number matches the warning, RP1304
