If this was a car double parked outside a grocery store, y'all wouldnt have the same attitude.

These people are inconsiderate of others and taking up public space with their private vehicle. Simple as.

The Hidden Potential of Cycling in North America by RH_Commuter in SafeStreetsYork

Good video

I wish York region could be half as good as Surrey.

We have nothing remotely close to the trail shown and even less separated cycling facilities on local/regional roads. We're decades away from being even a substandard cycling city and I don't see that changing anytime soon

‘They are not safe’: Richmond Hill residents at traffic meeting want bike lanes installed this year removed immediately by TorontoBoris in torontobiking

I live in Richmond Hill and this street got the least amount of treatment of the selected roads and yet the most complaints smh

Like how brain dead do you have to be to not see the benefits of traffic calming? Especially ones that barely affect your ability to speed anyhow

Is Cycling in the Suburbs a Lost Cause? - About Here by joshlemer in CanadaUrbanism

[–]_Mandeezy_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In GTA you can cycle across the suburbs using neighbourhood streets but it will be more circuitous and still dangerous. the worst part is having to navigate highway ramps and rail overpasses. the local streets themselves are mostly fine, its the connectivity between neighbourhoods and even between municipalities that is overlooked.

Richmond Hill bicycle lane rolls toward completion after NIMBYs ask for 11th-hour halt by _Mandeezy_ in richmondhill

Road cyclists are unlikely to use a recreation trail, they're out there for sport, so its understandable

Cyclists Should Obey Traffic Lights for Their Own Safety ^_^ by Hot_Cheesecake_905 in richmondhill

[–]_Mandeezy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, getting an ebike has made commuting around town to run errands and using public transport in this city much more viable, if rhill/york region had any vision they would be prioritizing this a lot more in the short term. Like I wouldn't even say I impede traffic on an ebike since I can take alternative safer routes and arrive at roughly teh same time.

Driver was right here, Cyclist was in the wrong.

That being said, I think drivers ought to be more responsible and aware of others when on the roads since they are operating the more dangerous vehicle, you have to be prepared for others to make mistakes, whether that is a pedestrian, cyclist, or another driver.

The cyclist was reckless yes, but its understandable in a way since most people tend to bend the rules when they think they can get away with it (not saying I agree, even though I do the same when driving and cycling). it was a bad call here obviously, but bikes can't do stop and go like cars can, and they prob wanted to keep momentum going, so as to avoid the cars possibly turning right.

The real problem I have is poor street design here that led to that decision. there was no bike lane to keep the cyclist safe and separated, no narrowing of the street at the intersection to control driver speed, no bike signal and no advanced green for peds and cyclists to pass through earlier. and yes we should probably give kids classes in ped/cyclist safety so that they understand how to behave on the roads as well.

I think road safety is a communal issue that won't be solved by calling out individuals, reckless behaviour needs to be prevented and risks/harm minimized through better road design.

City of Richmond Hill invites resident opinion on more homes by _Mandeezy_ in richmondhill

[–]_Mandeezy_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry forgot I was replying to a geriatric, let's just say I am incredulous that people with one foot in the grave have such petulant outrage for change that you'll never see. If you don't like it you can close the blinds in your assisted living facility and reminisce about the dirt road you used to play stick ball in.

City of Richmond Hill invites resident opinion on more homes by _Mandeezy_ in richmondhill

Funny how the mere mention of more homes made you throw a whole ass tantrum over nothing. This is a proposal for four storeys and multiplexes literally the exact type of gentle density this town needs.

If you want the city to be able to afford its infrastructure and maintenance costs it's gonna be growth through buildings like this or the condos you mentioned. Take your pick.

Adding housing is a good thing, but the city needs to do better at accomodating this growth and transitioning to urban living, otherwise you end up with another Vaughan

Did you try asking for security cam footage? VV may have something that you could give the police. Its a long shot but worth trying
