I wish it would be that but we are not there yet. But there is a new link at the end of the Samuel De Champlain Bridge to join Brossard (close to the Route Verte there) instead of joining La Riveraine only.
Very interesting tool by @cjlm.ca to map the walkability of cities across Canada : aportee.ca You can select different types of amenities (grocery, library, hospital, park...) and visualize its accessibility on foot. For now it seems that there is no option to show by bike or public transit.
The drawing from @davewalker.bsky.social in its latest newsletter was summarizing well the state of the peloton sponsors
“Extreme events are so far outside anything we have expected [...] It’s not so important whether it’s what we expected as experts. It’s whether it’s what we expect as people on the ground.” Extreme Heat Isn’t the Only Climate Impact Shocking Scientists : www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...
Trying the new branch of @remgrandmtl.bsky.social in Montreal before its official opening tomorrow. Nice to meet some contacts there. It is very interesting to see how the global public transit network changed those last few years in Montreal despite all the challenges (and attacks) it is facing.
"As well as increasing collision severity, higher bonnets reduce vision, particularly of children. Reduced driver vision risks increasing the frequency of collisions, and / or near miss situations. Children are disproportionately killed as pedestrians in road traffic collisions."
"High bonnets strike pedestrians higher up in the body, often hitting vital organs near the core, before knocking them forward and down, with a higher risk of driving over them."
"The respective figures for average bonnet height rise from 2010 to 2024 in the six countries shown in the graph below are as follows: France (77.3 to 84.3 cm), Germany (76.5 to 82.3 cm), Italy (76.3 to 84.7 cm), Poland (77.0 to 82.6 cm), Spain (77.5 to 83.8 cm), and the UK (76.9 to 83.7 cm)."
“Traditional buttons, dials, and levers had perceptible and actionable qualities—you could feel for them, adjust them without looking, and rely on muscle memory. A touchscreen obliterates this" www.wired.com/story/why-ca...
The results of the Global Risks Perception Survey (Global Risks Report 2025 - World Economic Forum), highlight that extreme weather events are ranked as the highest global risk in the long term (10 years), while misinformation and disinformation are the top risks in the short term (2 years).
L'abaissement de la vitesse à 50 km/h sur le périph' à Paris en octobre semble avoir un impact positif sur la congestion, les accidents, le bruit et la qualité de l’air selon l’Atelier parisien d’urbanisme : www.apur.org/fr/nos-trava... À valider dans le temps et l'espace mais encourageant!
