Here's an idea.

Instead of spending billions on fancy new roads, the government should actually consider REMOVING some of the big roads from our cities as well as building more bike lanes and public transport.

Throughout the United States – the original car country – there is a growing movement to remove selected sections of motorways from city centres.

It's seen as a way to restore life and vitality and has numerous benefits, including:

✅ Eliminating a physical and psychological barrier that divides city neighborhoods

✅ Opening up land for redevelopment of housing and green space

✅ Providing direct access to city businesses by restoring transport networks friendly for people and bikes instead of just cars

✅ Removing eyesores that take away from a city’s character

I was cycling to work this morning, stopped at a red light, noticed a dark thing flying, almost got sucked into the engine of a massive truck. But then seconds later it fluttered towards me and landed on my knee... Look at this gorgeous thing!

I don't know much about butterflies, so I looked up this one and it's a male Eastern-tailed Blue Butterfly, a common butterfly species across North America.
