#UrbanHealth #PrioritySideWALKS
I love Toronto, but, a shameful statistic is that 1 in 4 streets does NOT have a sidewalk!! 24%
Why is City rebuilding sidewalks in ok state, rather than prioritizing streets with NO sidewalk?
Why allow councillors to veto sidewalks?

#UrbanHealth #YoungAndOldTogether
Amazing group of women, mostly over 70, took Swiss gov. to court and WON!!!
Gov.'s inadequate efforts to combat climate change put them at risk of dying during heat waves.
Olders are always the most impacted.

Very important message below from Brent Toderian. Not just about Vancouver, everyone can continue learning from this city, the good to adapt, and not good to avoid.
Clear shared vision AND actions are needed. When they lose their vision, actions in all directions, it's chaos.

#UrbanHealth #ShowUp
Why are people over 50 the most powerful in most countries? Easily in the US.
Because they show up! They vote!
Most olders want to leave a better world to their grandchildren, equitable, sustainable, except few loud mouths.
Younger & older: ONE world.
AARP

Joyful & healthy activities in PUBLIC space, our streets.
Why negative comments from media, NIMBYs, some politicians, about magnificent run/walk activities on the streets?
Who runs? Their family members, friends... btw many more than those on cars Sunday morning.
#HappyHealthyTO !

No more ghost bikes! No more cyclists killed by drivers!
RIP Ali Sezgin Armagan, immigrant from Turkey.
Spoke w councillor on site and she said “it’s hard”.
It’s never easy, but doers get things done.
Vision + action. Clear priorities. Guts.

#UrbanHealth #CleanAirEnforcement
Great Desi Lydic decides to target Illegally Idling Vehicles for The Daily Show.
Allow citizens everywhere to report illegal idling, parking, AND give them 25% of the fine. Some NYC snitches make over $100K year. Win-win!

#UrbanHealth #YESdepartments
City has tolerated too many years a parks & rec. department proudly being 'the NO department'.

Should be 'the YES department,' everywhere, focused on promoting health and happiness for all ages, abilities, backgrounds.
#Change attitude at City Hall!

Our cities do not need driverless cars.
They desperately need more carless drivers!
