Another cookie cutter P.O.S. that will do absolutely nothing to enhance street life. It's better than a decaying slab of concrete, but is this all the market demands? Very disappointing. i don't think most would agree that we should accept trashitecture like the "Centre Village" just beca...

Nice Ride started up again yesterday. They seemed to activate the system when all or nearly all of the stations were empty, and have been distributing bikes all afternoon yesterday and all day today. A handful of stations aren't operating yet (sounds like a few of them have permit issues that are s...
