“Sidewalks are a fundamental element of the urban transportation infrastructure. It is bizarre that any city would fail to provide the same level of service for sidewalks that it does for roads. This makes its pedestrians second-class citizens.” (Urban Geographer, Barry Wellar)

It’s a cold alert, several shelters are in outbreak + not accepting new clients. What is the solution? @cityofhamilton we have already lost community members to the elements due to an inadequate response to the housing crisis + pandemic. Unhoused people are dying. Do something.

#Titanic survivors Marjorie and Charlotte Collyer following the sinking in April 1912. Note the look of despair on Charlotte's face. Her husband never survived. Note the White Star Line blanket. I put together a short video tribute at youtu.be/lhgh1Ggoc5o

The pedestrian only downtown plan is not even close to adequate. The @CityofStJohns had a perfect opportunity to help start cure a dying downtown and these 2 (weekend only) options will not be it. We are already in for the worst economic year (in Tourism) that we have ever seen..
