My take on why… E-bikes Need More and Bigger Bike Lanes independent.com/2024/04/26/e-b… @TheOpEdProject @BikeMapsTeam @UCSBgeog

So glad to have worked on this with @TCATonline Nancy Smith Lea in our @MobilizingJust group. So many groups working to address transportation gaps. If your initiative isn’t listed, please let us know! @SSHRC_CRSH

Great to see city convo focused on youth and their experiences in our cities. We need this voices amplified! Star panel including @SFU leaders in this space and @CityofSurrey transportation director -

Inspiring way to start the day! Thx for including @ChatrLab in this crucial convo. Big focus on transportation. For guidance on how equity can be embedded in sustainable transportation check out this new report by @TeamInteractCA: teaminteract.ca/piste/ #UrbanWorkSummit2024

Closing the gender data gap in mobility isn't just about statistics—it's about justice and progress. 🌍 Accurate data empowers us to design transport systems that work for ALL, making cities safer, more accessible, and truly inclusive. 💪 Learn more 🔗 genderdata.womenmobilize.org

Congrats to FHS assistant profs @kiffercard, @KStelkia, and @ChatrLab members prof Meghan Winters and PhD candidate Meredith Sones! These investigators won @HlthResearchBC team grants that support health collaboration and KT work in BC sfu.ca/fhs/news-event… #SFUHealth #SFU

Winter is just around the corner ↩️ ❄️ With snowy season comes snow clearance policies that aren't gender-neutral. Women are more likely to walk than men and pedestrians are injured three times more often than motorists in icy conditions. Learn more 👇 womeninurbanism.ca/words/snow-cle…

In the alternative universe category, Penticton BC city councillors have decided not to talk about safe separated bike lanes for three years because they think there are other things that are more important. You just can’t make this stuff up. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Something that makes the point that “sharing the road” is not the right phrase when a pedestrian already has the right of way Graphic by @TheBikingLawyer

This was hard but rewarding to produce. Gentrification is a complicated issue but CLTs are so far one of the only 'solutions' I've seen that offer a serious response. It's crazy challenging to maintain renter communities in a real-estate market, but we can still do smthing abt it

Over the past two decades, the application of spatial methods in research has grown substantially. Our recent review examined the methods used to assess the quality of spatial methodologies within studies. #Research #SpatialMethods #SystematicReviews sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Great to meet @bmdoucet on his Canadian tour! The @ChatrLab team did tour of Vancouver's bicycle infrastructure - talking about what is working, as well as what is not. Thanks @mobi_bikes for the e-bike support for the hills 🤣
