From my journal this time last year after I got my vaccines (which I’m currently waiting for now): As I waited I emailed TSC adjacent councillors about the BS that staff are waiting on some heat mapping software to decide what to do next.

I only saw any of this was happening via my scraping. No idea if they even posted/etc anywhere.

It’s these! They are spendy and a bit bulky but I could not get by without them. About to have my third winter with them.

Found it on Hollis! Makes sense

Thanks! And hope they feel better.

It is infuriating. I keep meaning to review updates to this “strategy” because I’m pretty sure at the start and a few other times (such as now) they stalled by saying they were waiting for some new software/database/etc

Love it. I have still never had a bad sign interaction but people are definitely saying they like it or asking about it more lately as news of the mayor’s badness spreads.

It is most definitely possible, at least Paris is doing it too. Guessing automated stuff like that would require further MVA (or soon to be TSA) changes/regs. And we heard recently that automated speed/light enforcement is still year(s) away.

I think the only real avenue for enforcement at the moment is via the noise bylaw, around "unreasonably disturbing the neighbourhood." But that's probably only for more stationary things. For moving vehicles, HRP/RCMP have refused to get the noise measuring equipment and training they need.

It’s my understanding the MVA as it is now has everything needed. HRP/RCMP just don’t want to do it.

"Senior leadership from RCMP HRD and HRP do not support implementing a new by-law or using decibel measurement devices due to operational and financial concerns."

We were lucky to see him at the Syrup Factory in January where he played a number of the new tunes. And that one about the robots

Thanks to the planter of the Romans and Bayers/102 MUP flowers. The big sunflowers just popped open this week!
