✅ Aggressive Drivers PMO #FridayFlex

❤️ @ttcriders.bsky.social “Public transit is a right. “Frequent service and affordable fares will win back transit users. “Public transit is a climate solution. When transit is frequent, reliable, and affordable, more people will use it and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.” www.ttcriders.ca

FYI for #TorontoDanforth constituents who are aware of unhoused or vulnerable individuals. East York Civic Centre is open until 5pm www.toronto.ca/services-pay... You can also utilize TPL branches tpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/locations #TorontoDanforth does not have a 24hr shelter location.

Oh Toronto. Why must we commit self-inflicting pain towards vulnerable road users? #BikeTO #TOpoli

Drivers Always Follow The Rules Don’t You Know. It is mind numbing that in our society, the convenience of a single occupant in a vehicle supersedes prioritizing the safety of vulnerable road users (coming off of a fucking streetcar by themselves; with a child; with a senior.) WTF!

A note: If you’re able to stay in, do. If you know of unhoused or vulnerable individuals in your neighbourhood please direct them to the closest #TorontoPublicLibrary. Still waiting for word from Infrastructure & Environment Committee Chair about additional shelter spaces. Thank you #BikeBrigade

Yeah, they can't be convinced by the truth, that's where we are these days. No better proof that the smoke choking Toronto and New York and thousands of other North American communities today.

The Crowd: "We want proof that those cyclists actually ride bikes in our community!" The Frenzied Crowd: "No no! Not that type of real proof!!" #OpenData provided by The City @toronto.ca which you can find here open.toronto.ca/dataset/perm... h/t @cyclingpedestrian.cityof.toronto.ca #BikeTO

My son just told me is favourite sentence is: “I didn’t say we should kill him” because if you emphasise each different word it changes the entire meaning

Cars buy ZERO stuff “For the first time in four years, St-Denis Street has lost its pedestrian-only status and is open to cars for the summer. Business owners and event organizers say the decline in foot traffic is disrupting operations during what should be a busy season.” youtu.be/DymPPZufAQM?...

Good morning #TorontoDanforth At Danforth Av & Greenwood Av We have a lot of people that do not have the luxury of staying indoors today. Awaiting the plan to create safe spaces for our most vulnerable here in #Ward14 & across the city. h/t @toenviro.bsky.social @cathycrowe.bsky.social

Morning Climate Report from Toronto, ON via @climategirl.bsky.social I am waiting for an announcement from the Infrastructure and Environment Committee Chair. What is the plan of action to prioritize the health of the unhoused and vulnerable constituents in the City of Toronto? #TransformTO

Last night I was one of several cyclists who ferries donated produce from the @trinitybellwoodsfarmersmarket to community fridges across the city. Like riding bikes AND helping community? Join @thebikebrigade: www.bikebrigade.ca/get-involved

Someone should get him a BikeShareTO membership and Presto Card. #ONpoli

Disgusting but not at all surprising that certain elected officials have taken (in their own warped minds) advantage of the shootings during Salsa on St. Clair last weekend. Gun violence doesn’t go away by turning on streets into TPS fortresses. We have underlined issues that need to be addressed

#TOPoli It would be an interesting “alternative facts” exercise to find current incumbents that don’t prioritize cars over people. If you’re a candidate for the upcoming 2026 election and fits into this box presented below, please let constituents in the ward you’re running in know. #VisionZero

Updated forecast. We’re going to cook

I joined during the pandemic when people couldn’t help themselves. Post pandemic, food security is still something many in Toronto are fight for every day. If you can, come and volunteer. If you can’t help spread the word throughout #BikeTO - CBC The National May30th 2021 youtu.be/rOZZ_K9M7V8?...

From the folks @ #TheBikeBridge “Looking for a meaningful way to support your community this summer? Join Toronto Bike Brigade - a volunteer-powered network mobilizing people on bikes to deliver food and essentials in solidarity w/ communities across Tkaronto.” Sign up to ride: www.bikebrigade.ca

Drivers can kill you without crashing into you while you wait to cross the street. Awesome. Explain to me again why we shouldn’t be reducing our dependency on single occupancy vehicles? Thank you @gregannandale.com h/t @ianwalker.bsky.social Cc: @mbonsma.bsky.social @uoftcities.bsky.social

Car culture is more than just a transit and movement issue. It’s a legacy of property, colonialism, and structural exclusion. @johnmunro.bsky.social gives the breakdown on how our dependency of single occupancy vehicles shapes our cities in ways we’ve stopped questioning. h/t @jaypitter.bsky.social

Pedestrianization is often framed as transforming streets. In many cases, we're actually restoring them. We're reclaiming what's been lost: social connection, local commerce, civic life, and human-scale movement. Perhaps it's time to shift from street transformation to street restoration.

No Buts About It.

I have never posted anything with this much traction for omega level #snowflake like melt downs. “We can’t survive without cars!” “What about in winter?” “I live 1000 miles from a city and don’t have public transit!!!” You’re a communist you bike loving freak!” Muting and Blocking is fun. ❤️🚲📢

*The Imperial March plays*

This is the second time in as many months that a city transportation planner and cycling advocate has been killed while riding. Last month Chicago lost Riley O’Neil, now the Boston cycling community had lost Louisa Gag. Gutting, infuriating, and completely preventable. No paywall: archive.ph/AJHAy

#IdeasAtWork “Urban Capital, in collaboration with @waterfrontoronto.bsky.social , presents a short that explores the diverse stories on the making of River City. www.canadianarchitect.com/urban-capita...

My friend is dead. A driver, through neglect, recklessness or malice, has killed Louisa. I’m beside myself with grief and filled with righteous anger at a city that has stalled and slow-walked safety improvements for all road users. Louisa should be here with us.

fuck!
