If you’re walking, wear something hi vis and stay off the road. If you’re biking, same thing hi vis, and stay off the road. Some N driver who doesn’t have any experience behind the wheel may take you off the road.

And a big shout out to those people with snowblowers who take the time to clear accesses to parks. Woof!

I agree Grizzly. I was just thinking that this morning…I “saw” around 12 people walking on my way to work this morning. At least half of them were partialy or fully dressed in dark clothing (one complete with dark toque). Even with adequate lighting next to the sidewalks and both my headlights working, a bit of rain on the windshield made them almost invisible until approximately 25-35 meters away. I sometimes wonder if a portion of the population has lost it’s sense of self preservation. Good to see that there are alternatives to outdoor walking trails provided by the City.

“Some N driver”, or ANY driver not paying attention. Not every accident is caused by N drivers.
