General Urban Cambridge Updates and Rumours

Just a notice of an upcoming public meeting to discuss improvements to the pothole car sewer known as Ainslie St in Galt. Anything would be better than the current setup and I'm excited to see what they've come up with.

Happy to announce that the Region engineers in this little online call were saying all the right things about alternatives to driving and better uses of public space than on-street parking. Looks like Cambridge will be (hopefully) getting its first separated cycle tracks and raised crosswalks all along Ainslie.

Here's hoping the local miserable parking enthusiasts don't win the day and get the plans changed. It's going to be miserable to hear all the arguments about how left turns lanes are actually better for downtown Galt than space for actual humans.
