A <a href="https://tram.mcgill.ca/Research/Surveys/Montreal%20Dangerous%20Intersections%202024_E.pdf" target="_blank">new policy brief </a>reveals the 10 most mentioned spots.</p> <p>The researchers say there is a critical need for safer cycling infrastructure, to promote sustainable travel and prevent fatal collisions caused by poor road design.</p> Tue, 25 Jun 2024 13:08:15 +0000 admin 1456 at /dementia /dementia/channels/news/15-minute-city-might-not-be-realistic-north-america-researchers-find-357769 <p>In the “15-minute city,” a concept popularized in Europe, everything a resident might need on a daily basis is a short walk or bicycle ride away. A study by Transportation Research at ƻ����Ժ (TRAM) suggests, however, that this model may not be easily achieved in large North American cities such as Montreal.</p> Fri, 21 Jun 2024 13:37:22 +0000 admin 1453 at /dementia /dementia/channels/news/doom-spiral-risk-public-transit-post-pandemic-era-357710 <p>A new study from ƻ����Ժ warns that cutting public transit service could lead to a "doom spiral" resulting in a collapse of the system.</p> <p>The researchers describe a vicious circle in which service cuts brought on by budget deficits drive transit users away; this drop in ridership triggers additional service cuts, which lead to further declines in usage.</p> Thu, 13 Jun 2024 16:06:14 +0000 admin 1439 at /dementia
