That "we" (and the smugness behind it) is exactly what people are talking about when mentioning unearned privilege.
Of course you don't want to hear about privilege...because you did none of the things you're taking credit for.

I have to hold my 3 y.o. son's rocks until we get home.
And because I'm big on pockets (8 on my jacket, 5 on my pants, and I'm carrying a backpack for the 3y.o.) it takes time to find them again.
There are also half a dozen rocks and sticks sitting in the car trunk.

Existing transit riders do not all care about speed.
Existing transit riders (and non-Transit riders for that matter) care more about Availability + Reliability of the service, because that it was what makes it useful for them. Speed, convenience and comfort play second fiddle.
Yet, the sentiment of exclusion still runs rampant among planning circles in North America - disguised in the language of “equity” and “inclusion.”
I’m constantly told by advocates & policymakers that “transit riders don’t care about speed” and “local trips are the priority” 6/

Mississauga has started to introduce bollards with their new enhanced bus shelters and it may be time to make bollards a standard around bus shelters. I've already asked the city to review bus shelter locations that are at high risk, and where bollard retrofits are likely needed.
Ongoing madness & inaction in KW "Police say a driver lost control, left the roadway, and struck an occupied bus shelter. The 4 pedestrians from the bus shelter, a 36yo woman & 3 children all under 6, were taken to a local hospital w serious but injuries."

Emily Lerch being found in York Region is why I got an Amber Alert in Toronto even though I don't live close to Stratford, and why I'm happy that I got the alert.
Ontario is big but it is possible to drive from many places to many places very quickly...widespread alerts help.
Stratford Police with the assistance of the Ontario Provincial Police and York Regional Police have located missing 11 year old Emily Lerch safe, investigation is continuing. Thanks to all agencies for their support and assistance including SPS Uniform, CID and Comms.

There must be at least sixty GO stations in the Greater Toronto Area with surface parking lots that could welcome thousands of units of housing (including a significant share of actually affordable housing).

I mean yes, but also almost all of the LRT lines and their stations were built between 1993 & 1998.
The differences between the two LRT systems and their stations, despite being built around the same time (but by two different companies, STAR and PUTRA), is even more wild. 1/2
The jump in station design between the KL MRT lines and the KL “LRT” lines is wild

Look what can be done with 12000 m² of surface parking next to a rapid transit station.
Yes, it's going to be a massive slab tower casting a huge shadow but if you live in KL that's a boon, not a bane.
More importantly it's 2218 units beside transit
107 parking spaces at Pudu LRT station is being replaced with 2,218 units of new housing!

Toderian makes an excellent point here. There's quite a difference between banning cars/closing streets and embracing activities/opening streets.
So I look forward to seeing how this insight will be applied to his upcoming work in Mississauga...and what the city ends up doing.

Once again I say, bike share is transit. Make Bike Share TO part of the TTC so more TTC riders use bike share to extend their trips. This will attract more riders to both services.
Revenue from riders+potential savings for TTC is more stable than a subsidy from parking revenue.1
The TPA VP notes that even under new fare structure the bike-share system would still operate at a loss, and be subsidised by parking revenues. Somewhere an urbanist is smiling
