We are so grateful to welcome Rachel Wang and @max.computer from the Bike Brigade into the conversation. The Bike Brigade is a true local gem. Since 2020 they have rallied more than 1,500 volunteer cyclists to deliver food and essentials across the city. Join us August 16+17! 🎟️ civic-spark.com

Our last conversation of the month on bike lanes provided us with 2 key consensus statements: - They want to prioritise removing paid parking instead of removing bike lanes - The province paying to remove bike lanes may discourage local efforts for safer cycling.

We have wrapped up our first conversation on Bike Lanes, and the results are here. - We had 46 total participants - 82 statements were submitted - 3 distinct groups were formed Read the [full report here](pol.is/report/r6bbx...)

Our first conversation is focused on bike lanes in Toronto. Whether you're a cyclist, driver, pedestrian, or transit user, your insights are valuable. 🕒 The survey is open until the 30th of May. 👉 Click here to participate: publicsquareto.github.io/bikelanes.html
