There was enough to say about #yeg's $100M #ActiveTransportation network expansion that I needed a second video. I cover what hadn't been quite finished by mid-Nov and what was postponed.

“States can require bicycle and electric bicycle safety training in schools,” e.g., #Minnesota https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/123B.935, as referred to by Matt Moore, general and policy counsel at #PeopleForBikes. https://usa.streetsblog.org/2025/11/05/part-iii-policy-solutions-to-the-e-moto-problem

Jennifer Lynn Chatman of Salinas died Nov 3, 2025 after her bicycle was struck by the trailer of a semi truck at the intersection of South Sanborn Road and Work Street, Salinas.

As we told Sara Rubin, #MontereyCountyNow / #MontereyCountyWeekly editor, infrastructure such as protected bike lanes with a physical barrier are what’s most needed to keep people who bike safer. In general, paint on pavement provides little to no real benefit in preventing fatalities.

Nevertheless, one “paint on pavement” practice we would like to see far more of — and which possibly could have saved Jennifer’s life — is bike boxes at intersections.

From the Stars by Curt Young o...

The City of Kitchener is starting Connected Kitchener, a study to create a new Transportation and Mobility Plan, towards a transportation system that is more reliable, fair, environmentally friendly, and efficient over the next 25 years.

"Connected Kitchener will support the City’s goals, such as cutting greenhouse gas emissions, making it easier and safer to walk and bike, improving transit, and creating better public spaces. The plan also supports and aligns with Kitchener 2051 by planning a mobility system that enables the land use goals of the Official Plan for the next 25 years.”

Check out the details and, more importantly, provide your feedback!

Over the last few days a number of people have brought up the parking challenges currently experienced in in my community (Squamish, BC 🇨🇦 ). Back in February of 2024 I wrote a blog and created a video about this. If you haven’t seen these yet, I encourage you to have a look. https://www.johnfrench.ca/post/baby-you-can-drive-your-car #sqpoli #carculture #activetransportation #localgovernment

A screen capture from a blog post that features a stenciled bicycle image on a multi-use path with text above that reads, “John French, Feb. 26, 2024, 2 minute read.” Further text includes, “Baby, you can drive your car” and “Beep, beep - beep, beep, ya!” The final bit of text is a reference to lyrics written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney.

Rt 2 Corridor (Congress and Ferry)

I submitted the below comment to the public comment section for the Rt. 2 Corridor project. Capital Streets has a good deal of additional information. I write as an RPI alumnus and former resident of the City of Troy. While I now reside across the river in Colonie, I return to Troy regularly to enjoy cultural events, to shop at the farmers market, and to patronize the many fine restaurants and small businesses downtown Troy has to offer (and to attend the occasional hockey game at my alma […]

I’m convinced there’s a #saboteur in the City, working against #ActiveTransportation. This is brand new infrastructure and someone had to place a pole in the middle of TWO paths. Everything here was torn up and completely new stuff installed. At least you can press the #BegButton as the City usually makes them inaccessible. #yegbike #BikeTooter

We’ll never know why the kids won’t bike to the high school 🤷‍♀️ #swcalgary #69thst #carsewer #activetransportation #yycbike

A bicycle riding the rocky desire line towards Ernest Manning high school. The wheeling lane ends in sidewalk across the street so no connection on 69th St SW, Calgary.

BREAKING NEWS 🗞️

Form letter from a local official reads:

There are a few additional steps before your appointment is considered..."

etc. etc.

All of the main thoroughfares that I used in #Copenhagen had separate cycle lanes and footpaths - that is there was a kerb between thr cycle lane and vehicular traffic. The busses stopped on the road and did not block the cycle lane. It looked great!
