It's from my friend, Jeff, whom I originally met off of Mastodon, back in 2022. We met in person in 2023 & exchanged plants🪴We've stayed friends over the years. We are working towards similar community building goals, in separate areas of the island. Ideally, would love to have a full food security, localized food systems 'spine', running West-East/South-North, across #VancouverIsland.
Jeff lives up island with his wife & kids. He also works in #nonprofit #FoodSecurity & #environmental #stewardship. He works for #Greenways #LandTrust in #CampbellRiver :

This shows some of the work they've done at Maple Park Community Garden in partnership with #Strathcona Regional District. They acquired that land to steward/grow, earlier this year 💚👩‍🌾👨‍🌾👏

A great piece by Ella McSweeney on the campaign to make local rural roads into 'Rothar Roads,' accessible for all. ❤️

"These roads are essentially natural greenways with hedgerows overflowing with wildflowers which we can see and experience in a different way."

Farmers want a slice of agri-tourism. Build greenways along all road frontage, open cafes and B&Bs, welcome the active tourists https://www.independent.ie/farming/comment/hannah-quinn-mulligan-time-farmers-got-a-slice-of-the-agri-tourism-pie/a1471683616.html

Thanks to everybody who supported my #Interrail trip to the #DH2025 conference in #Lisbon, #Portugal.

I have good news: Yesterday, on the train to #Madrid I met #bicycle activists. Easily recognizable by t-shirts with #Pedallibre or similar. These guys really know about #trafficpolitics. They assured me that the fast speed #train #Madrid-#Lisbon will come 2030 for the football WC. #greenways

#Greenways are critical transportation infrastructure. When they're shut down, DOTs have to be ready to provide a safe, suitable detour. This greenway is going to be unusable for the foreseeable future. @ncdot.bsky.social what are your plans to keep North Carolinians safe in the meantime?

Most of the ride was on #greenways, #ProtectedBikeLanes, or neighborhood streets. In the few places we did have to interact with car #traffic, drivers seemed extra cautious and patient, with a new respect for stop bars and bike boxes. (2)

There won't be real active travel infrastructure until EU farm grants start being linked to green farming and green action - making it profitable for farmers to give a strip of roadside land to make greenways and pathways. Which in themselves will bring profit to landowners who are proactive about opening farm shops, cafes, etc

Houston-area officials on Wednesday broke ground on a $6.6 million construction project that will create and improve more than 4 miles of trail along the Brays Bayou Greenway.

Hey #BikeTooter don't do these things on multi-use paths. Y'all know how scary car and truck drivers are when they do the same thing to #bicyclists .

The Farmington Canal Heritage Trail used to be the noisy New Haven & Northampton Railroad. Now, it’s a quiet 132-kilometer interstate mixed-use trail. I took my e-bike out for one last ride before winter. Of course, it looks like Kinsmen Brewing in Southington decided to get on the trail, too.

Alameda City council redux:

Food pantry is still being sued, but had lots of supporters. (Links to video/photos?)

No 50m pool, sorry. Pass an infrastructure bond. Two pool option passes.

Greenways are a go, and barriers stay up.

Snug at home in bed, I can say I'm kinda disappointed there was no after-party. I was expecting something risque! (given the people gushing over being back in person)

Remind me to donate to the Food Bank in the morning.

This week's video shows one of the best bicycle boulevards we have filmed so far. Bethune Street in Peterborough, Ontario includes traffic diverters, a bicycle signal light, new trees, planters, benches and two multi-use pathway connections. #biketooter #bikePtbo #Ptbo #greenways #trafficcalming #cycling

Charlottesville Develops an Actual Hotel! The Forum

First off, NPS has a special place in its collective heart for Charlottesville, having graduated from UVa in the mid-80s with a degree in the lucrative field of Philosophy.  But that is neither here nor there.  Trips to c'ville happen every once in a while, and up until now there has been nowhere decent to stay.  See here for evidence.

Now there IS a very good hotel, situated fittingly up by the business school and the law school.  The Forum is where to stay when you need to be in [...]

Anyone know of a way to show only a selected few options on a map? I want a map that ONLY has greenways and trails over a terrain base-layer. No roads or buildings. #maps #greenways #cycling #hiking
