Replace speed cameras with road diets and other geometric choices that restrict traffic speed without relying on drivers following rules (they don't)

The S in IoT stands for security

Removing parking minimums does not stop people building parking if they want it.

It should be a crown corporation to count as part of NATO spending.

Or swap the opaque fence for a transparent fence (glass, chain link, netting, etc)

Get some stabilizer too.

So you're saying you need to start updating systems now, even though you won't see the results for 10-30 years?

You're getting it!

I mean, look at the signs, it's the best value for speeding!

Trials like these can lead to permanent car free streets. Worked in Montréal for all the summer streets.

Against all the evil that treats can conjure, all the tastiness that mankind can produce, we will diet unto them... only you. Rip and tear, until it is done

 

I've got a non-smart washer, but after a recent power outage I noticed that it resumes the wash cycle at it's current point when power is cut then restored.

Enter an IKEA smart button and smart plug.

I load the washer, get it started then press the button to kill power and enable an automation (currently on have 4 am and 3 pm).

At 4am or 3pm, the automation turns the power back on and disables itself.

Next step is monitoring the smart plug power monitoring to send a notification when the washer finishes.

Ontarians, I need your help.

This week I was pulled over by the police for having a kid's seat on my e-bike. I was informed this is illegal in Ontario as Sec. 38 of the HTA doesn't allow anyone under the age of 16 to be on a power-assisted or motor assisted bicycle.

In 2021 the Moving Ontarians More Safely Act came out that separated power-assisted bicycles (like e-bikes) from motor assisted bicycles (like dirt bikes). This will finally allow child seats on e-bikes.

Please call your MPP to get this bill that passed and assented 3 years ago into law.

Details on the wording of the current and assented laws:

currently the Highway Traffic Act, section 38, states : "No person who is the owner or is in possession or control of a motor assisted bicycle or power-assisted bicycle shall permit a person who is under the age of 16 years to ride on, drive or operate the motor assisted bicycle or power-assisted bicycle on a highwau"

the Moving Ontarians More Safely Act, 2021, S.O. 2021, C. 26 - Bill 282 splits this into a few sections: "No person under the age of 14 years shall operate a power-assisted bicycle described in clause (a) of the definition" "No person under the age of 16 years shall operate a power-assisted bicycle described in clause (b) or (c)" and the new section 38.1: "No person under the age of 16 years shall ride on, drive or operate a motor assisted bicycle on a highway" From my perspective this will make e-bikes legal to have kids seats; and separate the class away from gas and electric dirt bikes.
