For sidewalk winter maintenance especially after major snow events, definitely. And let's make sure it also applies to bike lanes to compensate folks like @bikewaysto.bsky.social volunteers for their efforts. 🫡❄️

"we’re a carsick city + the sickness seems to be getting worse. I say “seems” because I’m not sure how to quantify the vibe change I’ve witnessed in the past decade, as a person who drives, rides a bike, walks + takes public transit." @lizrenzetti.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

At “The Future of E-Bikes” ft. @bikewaysto.bsky.social tonight - @albertkoehl.bsky.social explained many complex issues 🔋🚲! My take: ‘bikes’ with ‘throttle’ need much stricter regulation + higher speed/weight ‘motorcycle/moped’ devices should require a licence 🏍️🛵 Thx Fix Coffee+Bikes for hosting!

"It’s unclear whether Ford is drawing inspiration from Donald Trump or P.T. Barnum, but either way his strategy is simple: move quickly from one announcement to the next + generate a constant churn of controversy and confusion." - @joshmatlow.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. It does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz or any other geopolitical chokepoint.

UK media "coverage of the Russian invasion was consistently described as 'unprovoked' – with 2336 stories in the first week." "[O]nly 390 stories referred to claims that the US/Israel assault on Iran was 'unprovoked' in the same period." #UK #USA #Iran #Israel #Russia #Ukraine #Media #Military

50+ MPs contacted! 🇨🇦 A massive thank you to the cycling community for stepping up. We need one final push to protect the $500M Active Transportation Fund for the 2026 season. If you haven’t emailed your MP yet, please do so by Friday! 🚲 (1/2)

Hey @pierrepoilievremp: Too bad we "axed the (carbon) tax" -- instead of weaning ourselves off fossil fuels. Now we're at the mercy of combatants in the war in Iran. #onpoli

This is from 1975.

How do we know Doug Ford is clueless about urban design and transportation? This quote: "A lot of people don't want to be driving up to Pearson ... give people an option." There is an option: ~13,000 people take the UP Express train *per day*. #TOpoli #ONpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

@markcarney must reject this war. "What is clear is that school children + teachers were killed. The place that should be safe regardless of who carried out the strike" -Shiva Amelirad, Canada-based rep of Cooperative Council of Iranian Teachers Trade Assoc #iranconflict www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

"He later became premier...with lots of issues that could benefit from his attention, like health care + education. Yet Ford has still been perpetually preoccupied by a waterfront plan that has never needed his ideas & will be worse because of them" @graphicmatt.com www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

One hundred years ago today: That time when a pre-dawn streetcar was lost in Brooklyn.

A collaboration between TTC + Bike Share Toronto would offer a great option during subway closures on Bloor-Danforth. Instead, @ttcriders.bsky.social suffer the indignity of being crammed into shuttle buses stuck behind single-occupant cars. There must be a better way! #onpoli @mayoroliviachow.ca

Does Donald Trump write Doug Ford's script, or vice versa. Ford called Toronto's city council "the most dysfunctional political arena in the entire country" when asked about the report and blamed "radical left" councillors for the city's problems. www.torontotoday.ca/local/politi...

Do you #BikeTO in #ScarbTO? @toronto.ca will be hosting a drop in for the Sandhurst Circle Neighbourhood Connections on Saturday, February 28 (1-4 PM) at Albert Campbell Collegiate (1550 Sandhurst Circle).

To this point, the big snowfall was almost a month ago now, and many bike lanes are unusable with huge piles of snow in them. We're firmly into neglected infrastructure territory now. If Toronto really wants to be world class for sustainability and scalability, we need to do better. #BikeTO #TOpoli

"Bike lanes, like roads, sidewalks and mass transit, are integral elements of our transportation system. When these investments are buried under snow, Torontonians are shortchanged." www.thestar.com/opinion/cont... #biketo #onpoli

T.O. residents shouldn’t worry about the slow pace of snow clearing. After all, the city appears to have adopted a sure-fire method to clear our clogged streets. It’s called waiting for spring" - Ron Brown, Letters to Editor, today's Star

Three week after the big snowstorm & there are still some bike lanes that were blocked including parts of Bloor in Koreatown! Today, I helped Albert & @bikewaysto.bsky.social clear the bike lane before doing errands in the area. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VikingBiking www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/02/tcbc...

Since I had some errands to do in the Annex anyway, I helped @bikewaysto.bsky.social clear the Bloor bike lane from Markham to Euclid. Hope the City gets the rest of the bike lane in Koreatown cleared ASAP! #BikeTO #TOpoli #VikingBiking

Casual pelotons will cycle across the City of Hamilton Friday morning to celebrate the joy of winter riding, and highlight the need for year-round road infrastructure maintenance.
