Ian Walker

I'm thrilled to have been elected by the voters in St. Boniface and Windsor Park! I'm looking forward to getting to work on the @louis_riel_sd @LRSDschoolboard! I will work hard to ensure that our school division is inclusive and resourced to set our children up for success!

I left this awful platform months ago. Come find me on Bluesky! bsky.app/profile/ianwal…

Wellington crescent, June 6th 5:30pm in memory of Rob Jenner 😢

My message to the Standing Policy Committee on Public Works on the issue of the Wellington Cres speed reduction. @JaniceLukes @MarkusAChambers @BikeWinnipeg @DeviSharmaWpg @safespeedswpg @BikeweekWPG @ctvwinnipeg @CBCInfoRad @WinnipegNews

Another collision on Cambridge Street today. This time at Dorchester. This was predictable and preventable. Call your city councillor and say you support 30km/h residential. @safespeedswpg @JaniceLukes @DeviSharmaWpg @MarkusAChambers #winnipeg #wpgpoli

BREAKING: Removing bike -lanes from busy city streets will increase traffic congestion, according to a government document leaked amid a furious row over urban infrastructure. The findings undercut claims the dedicated routes contribute to urban gridlock. theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…

@Kaplan_Simpson @BrentToderian @SeattleSubway You do realize there is more than one bus running at a time, right?

@BrentToderian @ianwalkerwpg @SeattleSubway Makes sense until they all have a different destination and a different time to be there😂🤯

What does it take to move 1000 people? Better infrastructure supporting mobility choices that don’t take up so much space (or produce so much emissions/pollution, cost so much public money, etc). Graphic via @SeattleSubway based on a Sydney graphic I spread around years ago.

😭😭😭 I love Montréal so much.

Bike lanes keep people safe, move people efficiently, make our city more accessible to more people, and reduce our emissions. If Premier Ford really wanted to reduce gridlock, he’d add bike lanes and help fund transit operations. William van Geest, Ecology Ottawa) #ottbike

It is a really jarring moment to be a historian. To know what might be coming is alarming. To realize that no one around you sees it or acknowledges it is a weird place to be in. Its like time traveling without time traveling. 1/8

Amazing, simple urbanism all over Mexico City. I will never understand why LA can’t do this.

Minneapolis built 76 miles of bike lanes, and the biking increases looked like this: ⬆️ 69% on protected bike lanes ⬆️ 26% on on-street bike lanes ⬆️ 10% on streets without bike lanes

Bike lane plans were studied for years. Then pilot lanes were installed, and studied for years. When the designs were made permanent, they were refined further. These are not "poorly installed lanes". It's propaganda from *poorly installed politicians* lying their asses off.

One of the most obvious things to do if you really want to make cities better for people, and thus more successful, safe and enjoyable, is make our sidewalks bigger and better. This one is worth a read. #CitiesForPeople sociallifeproject.org/double-loaded-…
