@nofunfinn I would argue that it's actually an extra 8 minutes.

CVS is a five minute drive, eight minute bike ride. Those extra three minutes I get to spend with my seven year old are a benefit, not a drawback. Bike with your kids, and turn the mundane time between activities into the absolute highlights of your day.

@bikeshopgirlcom In our city, there are way too many streets that cross bike lanes. Many of these could be dead ended and this would make bikes lanes safer but also limit cut through traffic of neighbourhood streets. Win-win.

@bikeshopgirlcom I'm a fan of dead-ending streets. Nothing else even comes close. #bancars

@voteloomis @keaninloomis Maybe this is an unfair comparison. Or is it? youtu.be/iQ102Adfm20

#HamOnt Mayoral Candidate, @keaninloomis commits to a self-imposed two-term limit, if elected on Monday, October 24. Read the full statement:

Toddler: Let's play jumping and watching. Me: OK. How do you play? Toddler: I'll jump. You watch me. Me: This is my new favourite game!

Putting a mega highway through the Greenbelt is a lot harder when you see first-hand all of the plants, waters and wilidlife it would destroy. #stopthe413 #onpoli

@jordan26steele @gcrawfordHamOnt @JohnPaulDanko @cityofhamilton @radleyatthespec @AM900CHML Saying that you can have a beer in some neighbourhoods and not others is where the real problem lies. And I will have a drink, thank you... maybe at my neighborhood park.

@petebenton @gcrawfordHamOnt @JohnPaulDanko @cityofhamilton @radleyatthespec @AM900CHML I think you need a drink Pete. I was referring to monitoring by law enforcement as is the case anywhere else alcohol is permitted within parks with set locations/times and so on. This isn’t difficult to understand.

Want to be able to (legally) drink a beer or glass of wine in a @cityofhamilton park? Are there some #HamOnt parks where this would make sense - Sam Lawrence, Confederation, Pier 4...? @radleyatthespec & I discuss on @AM900CHML omny.fm/shows/good-mor…

@gcrawfordHamOnt @jordan26steele @JohnPaulDanko @cityofhamilton @radleyatthespec @AM900CHML I'm a grown-ass man. If I want to sit and have some wine and chat with a friend then I have a solution... Leave us the fuck alone! There. Problem solved.

@gcrawfordHamOnt @jordan26steele @JohnPaulDanko @cityofhamilton @radleyatthespec @AM900CHML Is somebody actually going to monitor? Is @cityofhamilton is going to promote this? (can't wait to sde the poster!) if I am not in proximity to a "drinking park" do I have to drive, bus, or cab to one to enjoy a picnic and a glass of wine with my family? This is insane!

@menrvasofia @bikehounds @hsr @HamiltonsMayor You're outside of a car? Sorry for your luck. Sincerely, @cityofhamilton

⁦@hsr⁩ ⁦@HamiltonsMayor⁩ where are pedestrians supposed to walk once they get off the bus? Nebo Rd. No sidewalks anywhere.

Sadly very true. @fordnation wake up! It's time for a #modalshift - a more wholistic and inclusive approach to transportation.

@AmericanFietser It's like a ship-shipping ship shipping shipping ships?

If you're not starting your day with a giant pot of oatmeal, I'm sorry. Maybe tomorrow!

@wmacphail At least space is limited. That's comforting.

@DrMMercier @KingAndJames That slip lane has to go. Bring off ramp in at 90° to Main St with a set of lights. Bike lane can then be continuous and not have to cross 80 kph traffic. Drivers coming off the 403 need a clear sign that they are now on city streets and not the 408.

@KingAndJames How do you think the “quick fix” solution of returning Main St to two-way handles the 403 off-ramps? Those two off-ramps are designed to fit a one-way Main St. Fixing that seems like a much bigger problem than the rest of the conversion.

@JoeyColeman @cityofhamilton I am thankful that @ward1wilson and @NrinderWard3 are tabling a motion with real actions that can be taken to make this corridor more safe and more human. #streetsareforpeople

@JoeyColeman I'm all for this amendment but it has absolution nothing to do with the design speed of Main St (Hwy 408). That is 100% on @cityofhamilton.

@ddchen @VulnerableRoad Thanks. I'm ok with custom. I just want some idea if it will work with a toddler on board as well if this is going to replace 95% of our car trips year round. I think I'll book a test ride and bring seat and toddler with me to make the final decision. Thanks for the response!

@VulnerableRoad Thanks!
