I’m a streetcar suburb urbanist, dad of a cute kid and a dreamer. I write part time as a freelancer for magazines — and have several national award nominations for my work. My interests are the rise of cities in the age of populism, provincial politics related to city politics, walkability, the future of mobility, electric and acoustic bikes, political theory, car politics and trains.

Outside of rush hour, my street is thriving with people not in cars. This is why shortcutters bother me so. This little walkable neighbourhood is getting it right.

@jeffsamsonow Yep. I’m still riding it but maybe some more discussion about all of this might help.

When it isn’t being used for shortcutting by commuters, my street becomes 50-50 pedestrians to drivers, many of them with kids. This suggests the traffic is keeping people away during the week.

I’m using the Counterpoint app to count who uses our streets. One big learning is how many kids on bikes use a street that is also a high-speed shortcut. I’m sure this is fine.

@likelyjanlukas No, there’s a stop sign on both sides of the street, but free flow on the avenue.

How long before someone takes them or kicks them over? I’m betting less than a week.
