My #ActionResearch project in collaboration with Skellefteå municipality in the north of Sweden inspired me to explore the context and specificity of mobility systems in #WinterCities. In this article we share and reflect on expert-based and context-driven #Imaginaries of sustainable mobility in the North👇

You might like look into #WinterCities. The whole point is to get city dwellers to be #outside; in the winter.

A great #yegwinter afternoon walk and hot cider by the fire pit at Hawrelak Park today. May be our last visit as the park is closing for 3 years. We're going to miss it! #yegrivervalley #yegwalk #wintercities

Signature #yegwinter festival today, Silver Skate. Global snow carvers at work, live music, skating on the Lake, la tire au sucre, a great #Wintermarket! #yeg #edmonton #wintercities

No salt please. Nor fond of sand.

Hard frozen is very nice.
I bring along a small collapsible shovel but I'm told not to be late for everything.

Periodically I dream of an electric bicycle, perhaps a trike with a very determined motor and a plough. Perhaps a fleet.

Unkind snow clearing. 20cm snow berm blocking bicycle and walkway in #Saskatoon.
It doesn't look like much, but it sure is if you're outside of a car.

It's about #equity. It's really hard to roll and walk through these barriers. Cars- no problem.

Sent to local #CBC Radio One this morn. A city planner talked about #WinterCities
It's great that the city supports special winter activities. But know it is the day-to-day the makes a city liveable year round: safe and secure walking, rolling and cycling to school, to work, to shop. There's good data that if a city builds and clears snow from walking, rolling and cycling paths, people see them as viable options and they use them.
