What, what are some of the things that Toronto is doing?
9:51
Yeah.

So one of the things Toronto did from the outset with its Vision Zero, uh, was to look at, okay, where are our traffic deaths happening? And in Toronto, as in Calgary, they're mostly happening on what's called arterial roads.

So those are, uh, multi-lane, wide, fast roads.
10:12
In Calgary, you know, Bow Trail and Crowchild Trail would be an example.
10:17
Um, actually, interestingly, biking here just now, you know, twenty minutes ago, crossing Crowchild Trail, Crowchild Trail at grade, you know, at a pedestrian signal crossing at 24th Ave, uh, traffic there is going, I think it's seventy.
10:33
I think it's marked seventy, but people are going well above that.

So the logic here is actually, uh, really, uh, hilarious because the, the people who claim to be fighting for improved traffic flow are actually not just making it safer for, for children, uh, walking to school or biking to school, they're also making traffic flow worse for vehicles.
