This is how we design sustainable cities - by prioritizing parks, pedestrians, and pedals. Both human and planet health improve when local leaders step up like this! 💪🌎 #cities #climatepolicy #sustainability #adaptation #RunOnClimate
“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life.

Common sense.

Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
Paris said au revoir to cars. Air pollution maps reveal a dramatic change.

"I grew up in Grand Prairie, not a huge biking city. I had no idea bike infrastructure even existed until I moved to Vancouver & saw my first separated #BikePaths. I was like, 'oh my God! You could just do this!' Since then, I've biked my entire adult life as my main mode of transportation." #yyc
The data on #Bikelanes are clear & consistent: GREAT for cities in just about every metric you can think of. So why are politicians across Canada attacking them? We dig in with @bikecalgary.bsky.social's Doug Clark & Alyssa Quinney

"Injunctions were granted & the province was prohibited from prematurely ripping out infrastructure, even though they very much wanted to. The ruling was well thought out, well-reasoned, evidence & expert-opinion based, very much supporting what we've said all along: #BikeLanes are good for cities."

"I got a bike & utterly loved it immediately. I felt that immediate joy everybody feels the first time they've got on a bike in a long time & it remains one of the most joyful moments of almost every day. I now bike year round and I honestly can't imagine any other way of living." #yyc #BikeLanes

"When Calgary built the downtown cycle track network, that actually encouraged me to even bike through the winter, which before I would've considered crazy. Adding safer ways to bike encourages people to do it more. 'If you build it they will come.' That very much applies to bike infrastructure."

"The #Bikelanes attack is a distraction, an easy target for their base. It goes along with their attack on cities in general, whether that's the #GreenLine or municipal parties. We have REAL problems happening in this province yet we're going to attack cyclists & bike lanes. It's very annoying."

"We need leaders who elevate the conversation, not drag it into the gutter for short-term gain. #BikeLanes aren't a partisan wedge, they’re a public good making streets safer & cities stronger. Politicians weaponizing them for cheap applause show us exactly who they are & why they’re unfit to lead."

On #BikeLanes the DATA's clear:

✅ #Climate benefits
✅ Health benefits
✅ Downtown vitality
✅ Great for downtown businesses
✅ Congestion impact = negligible
✅ Safety for all (including car drivers)

Ripping out what's working isn't #CityBuilding, it's the opposite

"In London it's just a given. You can't have that many people in that sort of density and still be a lovely place to live without options.They've got wonderful public transportation, busses and subways and train system. You don't have to rely on a vehicle to get basically almost anywhere" #BikeLanes

🆕Evaluation of #climatepolicy over 2 decades: A global PIK study of 1,500 #climatepolicies, published in the journal Science, shows most failed to cut emissions. Only 63 cases saw a 19% average reduction. The key? Tax & price incentives in smart policies.

"These politicians are spreading widely disproven myths about traffic chaos, business decline & a “wars on cars” for the simple reason that anger & division is easier to sell than figuring out real solutions. It's dishonest, corrosive & it mimics the very worst impulses from America's politics" #yyc

"Most surveys show there's around 20% of cyclists that are 'hardcore' & going to ride no matter what. Which means there's a huge %age, say 50 to to 70% who basically say, 'look, if it was more comfortable, safer & convenient I would definitely do it & do it more.'" #BikeLanes #yyc #yycbike

Within-country inequality can reduce acceptance of #ClimatePolicy.

Study @pnas.org co-authored by PIK now explores how #CarbonPricing with redistribution can help the energy transition & reduce economic inequality – which is important for enforceability.

"I also feel like this is a #Freedom thing. We want freedom to move around in other ways, better ways in a number of metrics and what we're getting back from these politicians is no, you may not have that Freedom. You may only get around the way we like, the way we want you to." #BikeLanes #yyccc

If you’re looking for examples of city leadership with massive #ClimateInfluence , Mayor Hidalgo of Paris is THE one to study. American mayors: you absolutely CAN makes this happen. #climatepolicy #transportation
I love this. Our school - Princes Hill primary - are working with the Yarra council and the Bicycle Network network to do similar things in our local streets. The council is very supportive, it would be even better if there was state level support for all schools.
WATCH: The fantastic Paris “School Streets” program isn’t just about how we safely drop off and pick up kids from school. It’s about place-making, neighbourhood amenity, noise, air quality, and better cities for EVERYONE. Watch @streetfilms.bsky.social’s great video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezPz...
