I heard TPS was doing a micro-mobility safety blitz, so who do I talk to about this? @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

this is what posting on this website feels like

The global phenomenon of “bikelash” has become one of the biggest barriers to implementing interventions that make our streets more liveable, accessible and sustainable. So how do we best manage it as advocates for change? Here are eight strategies we recently presented at the Velo-city Conference.🧵

Did you know Canada’s provincial electricity grids are more connected to the United States than with each other? ⚡NEW PETITION: Let’s call on the federal gov't to build a truly Canadian east-west electricity grid with new transmission lines & renewable power.⚡ Sign now: dsfdn.org/EastWestRene...

New idea: what if there was an app

You sure about this, Google?

I spent seven years writing a book on this and she just… said it in three succinct paragraphs to politico.

I am 100% ready to join you to “ban right on red”. Montreal has this, but only because that’s the way it always was. Other cities elected to allow right turns on red, to allow for greater traffic flow. And look who’s paying the price. Day after day, another tragedy. Make this an election issue.

#topoli #onpoli New from me in @spacing: Some reflections on @cycletoronto.bsky.social’s huge legal victory in the bike lane war with Ford Nation. spacing.ca/toronto/2025...

A good how it started/how it's going from the ED of CycleToronto here

I refuse to vote for Zohran Mamdani until he denounces the Beeldenstorm of 1566. No I don't live in New York.

Question for you train-heads our there. What is preventing GO from running more southbound weekday service from Barrie-TO… ASAP. This schedule is practically useless.

The federal government set a target to double housing starts to nearly 500,000 units. Meanwhile, the CMHC forecasts that by 2027, starts will only reach 220,000 - 50,000 *fewer* than in 2021. Despite this, there is no urgency whatsoever from the feds to address this issue.

this Toronto City Councillor is really laying down "cyclists gtfo" stickers in a place where a dump truck driver hit a cyclist just 2 months ago

The recent move by @chrismoise.ca to place those boneheaded "Walk Your Bike or Scooter" decals (along with disabling replies) is not the only recent anti #BikeTO thing he has done. He also had a short contraflow on Ontario Street downgraded from a cycle track to bike lane. #shame #TOpoli #VisionZero

@chrismoise.ca is listening #BikeTO

For clarity, here's what Councillor Brad Bradford is opposing today: replacing this 24-space parking lot with a 50-bed seniors shelter.

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

GAZA IS STARVING DO NOT LOOK AWAY

"...the risk of being murdered underground is... orders of magnitude less than the risk of dying from a traffic accident elsewhere in the US. Cars are deadly, and any transportation policy that encourages their use over public transportation is pretty much by definition anti-safety."

Forever And Ever Amen.

In which a Toronto cop gives $325 tickets to cyclists who slow-roll a changing red light, but two videos beforehand, ignores a driver who slow-rolls a stop sign because he’s a “fair and reasonable person.”

Seems like it might be hard to not cut funding after saying it's "disappointing" and "not in line with the ambition that we expect." www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Study: Majority Of Billionaires Consider Selves  Middle Class

62% of Torontonians say main streets should "offer a balance to all road users" including transit, pedestrians and cyclists — but not many PC voters agree. Most Toronto Tories said main streets "should be prioritized for car traffic or parking." #onpoli www.thetrillium.ca/news/municip...

Seems pretty telling of Toronto Police's lackadaisical attitude toward traffic enforcement that an officer feels comfortable publicly calling speed cameras a "fucking scam." www.thestar.com/news/gta/the...

7 in 10 Torontonians support protected bike lanes, and 8 in 10 say the city must do more to protect vulnerable road users. ".... the real 'silent majority' are not those who oppose bike lanes, but 'people who support healthy streets, better mobility options, and a city that works for everyone.'"

New polling from Pollara on trust in news media among Canadians. www.pollara.com/wp-content/u...

Does anyone in the federal government understand how off-brand it is to constantly talk about results and accountability, then let Toronto off the hook for failing to meet their HAF obligations? nationalpost.com/opi...

Where is the mayor? At this point *Doug Ford* has done substantially more for Transit (even adjusting for the relative powers each has)!

public consultation results for dedicated transit lanes on bathurst+dufferin. note overwhelming support (75%+ dufferin, 67-68% bathurst) for transit priority+converting parking to transit lanes. transportation services recommendations + councillor compromises do not reflect what people want.

What happened here: Coun. Dianne Saxe caved to a “campaign” of a few dozen people with three Instagram accounts. www.thestar.com/news/gta/con...

I see the ambitious councillor from, checks notes, the Toronto Beaches has been in Calgary wearing a cowboy hat and taking photos at the Stampede.

Jaw droppingly misleading coverage of Israel's ongoing slaughter in Gaza. Who is killing? Who is being killed? Why is there no food? It's not that complicated.

Hey Toronto! Can we also get advanced warning for ttc fare inspectors?? Ohhh I see, they’re random so we always pay just in case. Got it. So then this is just a less important, less consequential law, right? Ohhhhhh, good point it’s not bc it makes people fucking DIE.

Arnold Schwarzenegger likes Toronto's bike lanes. #topoli #biketo

“It would be a colossal waste of limited Toronto police resources to focus enforcement here when it’s primarily motor vehicles that are responsible for deaths and serious injuries on our roads" www.torontotoday.ca/local/city-h...

And @diannesaxe.bsky.social has rewarded them. At this rate, it will be politically impossible to ever change any part of Toronto’s public realm from car domination. Ms. Saxe’s main issues are active transportation and climate action. If she doesn’t stand up for reform, who will?

Deeply disappointing. Councillor @diannesaxe.bsky.social is caving to a handful of businesses and advocates who’ve run a campaign of dishonesty and intimidation. www.thestar.com/news/gta/cou...

Very disappointed with my councillor @diannesaxe.bsky.social on her proposal to exempt the Bloor to Dupont stretch of Bathurst from #RapidTO lanes. We must NEVER EVER EVER compromise with car-brains when it comes to improving streets for all road users! #shame #TOpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/cou...

Also don't forget that she cancelled the Broadview Station streetcar bay expansion! It would've allowed for more streetcars to enter instead of sitting on Broadview waiting for their turn.

The are line dancing in the middle of the protest while shouting Fuck ICE

A few days ago, I personally emailed Canada’s foreign affairs department to seek comment about the government’s response to the genocide in Gaza. They responded. Here's what they said:

Gentle reminder to choose your words carefully when discussing the end of a bromance between two increasingly erratic billionaires.

Too many people stuck in traffic? Nothing some more people stuck in traffic won't fix. - cities for some unknowable reason.

If you believe that home prices don't need to go down to restore affordability, then show your math (which this piece fails to do). Tell us: What rate of income growth, and what mortgage rate, will restore affordability by, say, 2030? Show your work. financialpost.com/re...

Don't let Ford and his cronies divide us. Let's unite for real solutions to our massive congestion and road safety issues. We all want to get home quickly, safely, and with a limited amount of yelling at other humans. By @tomflood.bsky.social
