Why not clear the snow around bike racks at the Library? ⁦⁦@cityburlington⁩

Most people suck at running. But if you use these 4 running technique tips, I guarantee you won't: 🧵

@cityburlington @BurlingtonHydro Am I the only one worried about that hanging branch near the hydro wires over a sidewalk beside a dead tree?

Shout out to ⁦@cityburlington⁩ for this stretch of protected bike lane on Plains Road! It’s a game changer for coming home from Hamilton in the dark- #ifonlyalltheway

I stopped at this open house about safer infrastructure on Prospect Street to encourage ⁦⁦@cityburlington⁩ staff to keep up the good work. We need leadership to invest in the Cycling Master Plan #⁦@lisakearns⁩ ⁦@ShawnaStol94848⁩ ⁦@MariannMeedWard⁩

@Chris_Ariens This is such a dangerous place to be on a bike it’s almost criminal that it’s there

It’s a feature, not a bug. The intent is for riding a bicycle to be perceived as a marginal activity that no sane person does. If bike lanes were actually usable, everyone would want them.

🚧 Attention drivers 🚧 Lane restrictions are in place on Waterdown Road from Craven Avenue to Mountain Brow Road until Dec 6, 2024, due to road reconstruction...plan your route accordingly...#TrafficAlert #Construction 🚗

Humans are assholes. That’s the post. 🤬 #litter 🌎

“Four parking spaces side-by-side on a surface parking lot is about the same amount of space as a one-bedroom apartment.” Maybe the trifecta of housing, density and transit is starting to become clear. More cars or more people? It’s a choice. One leads to better, more liveable cities. The other leads to a noisy, polluted, congested unsafe hellscape of a city. Seems so obvious, doesn’t it?

$16K annually😱. After-tax dollars. That means foregoing a car is equivalent to getting a $25K/ year raise. Is YOUR city enabling people to do this by making it easier to bike or use transit? If not, you're setting up your population for major financial struggle.

@HowSenChong Recent Harvard Business School report found hidden Gov't subsidization of driving to be $14,000/month/household (US$). When do we start to acknowledge the absolutely staggering total costs of cars? hks.harvard.edu/faculty-resear…

Paul Alexander is one of the last people living in an iron lung after he contracted polio in 1952 at the age of six. He has been using the iron lung for over 70 years and has become an advocate for polio awareness and the importance of vaccines. The iron lung, also known as a negative pressure ventilator, is a large horizontal cylinder designed to stimulate breathing in patients who have lost control of their respiratory muscles. The patient's head is exposed outside the cylinder, while the body is sealed inside. Air pressure inside the cylinder is cycled to facilitate inhalation and exhalation. In the mid-20th century, iron lungs were widely used to treat patients with polio, a highly contagious viral disease that can cause paralysis and respiratory failure. However, with the development of the polio vaccine in the 1950s and 1960s, the incidence of polio decreased dramatically, and the use of iron lungs became less common. Today, there are only a handful of people in the world who still rely on iron lungs for their survival. Paul Alexander is one of them, and his story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of vaccination and the impact that polio has had on the lives of many people.

@_NickMorrison It’s so counter productive- safe cycling infrastructure makes roads safer for everyone

Oh ya, forgot one other thing. The bike signal is backwards. I'm guessing someone messed with it or it came loose somehow. Doesn't even look like it's on actually...

The state of Plains Road in #burlON It's much worse than I'd thought. There are leaves covering the bike lane and sidewalk all west of Daryl Road, and given @JackieLodder's tweet it's been like this for a week or more, and gotten worse over time. @KelvinGalbraith

⁦@cityburlington⁩ your plains road cycle track!! How can this be this be acceptable??

@Jdavis_Halton @LeJanTheGrower Social media is just a tool - you have to already be unraveled to post this stuff

@LeJanTheGrower I think social media is the undoing of society.

Hope this ‘news’ organization knows what it has done. Don’t know how seem people live with themselves. What a horrible thing to publish… and what a nasty world in which we live. 😥 apple.news/Adhx3attpRQKUg…

Burlington celebrates opening of city's first protected bike lane burlingtontoday.com/local-news/bur… via @BurlingtonTday

@Leo71106092 @cityburlington I love this stretch of cycle infrastructure- if we had this all the way across Burlington- it would be so much safer for cyclists and drivers !!

@cityburlington Write some tickets for cyclists who still ride on the road …. This is an eyesore, not needed and makes intersections a lot more dangerous

Our Plains Road project is complete! This marks the first protected bike lanes and intersection in #BurlON. Road resurfacing complete with landscaping, lighting and a rain garden. Learn more at Burlington.ca/plainsroadresu…. Funded in part by the Canada Community-Building Fund.
