They may need to invest in dedicated transit stations and parking garages to accomplish this but IMO thats worth it to keep less cars within the city.

Proof you don’t need to listen to every lobbyist that begs and whines to be a succesful politician
Have you considered that those bike lanes may be empty because they are poorly designed, unsafe, or don’t go places people want to go?
I may be wrong but isnt the city planning to use a lot of the money made from congestion pricing to improve public transit? So sure some rich dude can afford to pay to drive in less congestion, but those fees would directly go to supporting transit that thousands of people rely on daily and may be getting more use since congestion pricing began.
We are seeing good numbers in advance polling. I think this year will have a better voter turn out than most recent years.
North american cities had these too, many even had public transit street cars (basically a tram) running down the streets. Then the street cars were ripped out in favor of buses and cars then most of the buildings destroyed so people could park their cars, which everyone had now because the transit was demolished.
A big part of the problem is in North America, they won’t build that type of development anymore. New developments are almost exclusively either residential SFH or commercial strip malls. Prevously a building was flexible enough to go from a grocer with apartments above it then to a financial office then to full residential with relatively minor renovations in between. Now walmart has rules saying another big box store cant buy their abandoned big box store to prevent competition.
You should make it more like 12-16hrs. What if they get drunk and high again at the same time tomorrow?

We wouldn’t even have needed to increase their taxs (we still should) car infrastructure is so horrendously expensive that they would have been saving money by investing more in rail and transit instead of “just one more lane bro”
I was trapped on a remote section of highway in Canada that was closed due to extreme and unexpected snow fall. The only bathroom and water nearby was the ditch.
Most of province 20 over the limit seems fine and you got a really mean cop if you got a ticket for it, even though we know speed, tailgating, agressive passing all increases the risk for a collision that tax payers ultimately pay for.
Some places build transit stations outside of cities or in specific locations for people to drive to there then transit into the city. This can help control where the cars are instead of havings thousands of cars all trying to find on street parking downtown.
Thats more a problem inherrent to how america builds its cities than it is a problem inherrent to the bicycle. I agree we still need to buld rail, but you would likely still have to increase density to get good ridership. Otherwise you start to sacrafice speed for frequent stops serving low density. A problem many buses already face.
Often times being pushed so far from their work because their city downtown is 60% parking lots and it illegal to build any new buildinga unless they are luxury condos or mcmansions.
If the city still had decent density, they could easily live closer to work.
Trump crashing the economy, Trump dying from whatever, Vance taking over and taking credit for any kind of recovery sounds almost like its planned.
You can start with politicians like Doug Ford in Ontario, Canada. He passed bills letting him rip out fairly new bike lanes from Ontario’s largest city’s downtown, banning the entire province from building new bike lanes without his approval, and hidden in his bill is legislation that lets him build highways without doing any environmental assessments.
All while Canada is in a economic and housing crisis, a time where bicycles and bike lanes can lower cost of living and support denser housing developments.
Whenever I call 911, my phone notifies my that blocked numbers will be able to call for a little bit after dialing 911.
I used to set my phone as a private number. I’d have to call customers sometimes to confirm times or discuss jobs, but most customers didn’t need access to my direct number and we’d rather them contact the office than contact me directly.
Maybe if you feel you can’t get back to sleep, do your exercise early. Maybe it’ll save you time later for a nap or an earlier bed time. I find if i wake and feel decently rested even if its not wake up time i prefer to just start my day there than interupt another sleep cycle.
