‘Beyond parody’: Saanich raises road to slow ‘fast-moving’ cyclists – not drivers

One thing I want to add: it wouldn't even make it to the news if the cycle path crosswalk wasn't raised.

Unsignalized crossings are often terrifying because of wide roadways, absence of refuge islands or markings, obstructed views, big traffic volumes, large vehicles. At least some of the issues were fixed here.

I find it both hilarious & shitty that the only question any councillor had when seeing my multiple vids of their was - How many people have seen these videos?

That confirms for me, my family & friends here that their council doesn't give a shit about their cops violating our but they're concerned about 👎

Bunch of weak wankerdoodles in public office 🤡🤑😡

Mom brought home some #rambutans from Chinatown 😊

They're closely related to lychee & longan #TropicalFruits from #SoutheastAsia areas.

I found this patch 3 years ago & made note to return each year to more 🍇 Took us about 10 minutes to pick a bag of 😁
I underestimated the harvest weight yesterday; we got closer to 8lbs in the bag I'm holding in the photo!

I have just alerted local news station on how PD escalated my Dad's medical crisis situation, refused to wear masks inside immunocompromised household after being asked to multiple times, not leaving when paramedics arrived - after admitting they weren't needed on site & it's a medical & NOT police concern & basically getting paid by tax dollars for standing around, obstructing actual lifesavers & being egotistical dipshits.

There's active #rewilding work being done in Newman Park in #CentralSaanich 👍
I saw new big leaf maple & garry oak #trees planted in the old pasture fields by the parking lot.

WTF Saanich. I have no problem with the raised crosswalk. Great idea. But why doesn't it extend into the car lanes where it could actually save lives? #saanich #bikeyyj
