The worst thing you can do for our health+safety is drive a car. “Imagine if all the people making our deliveries were in cars? Every time you see someone on an ebike they are making the city safer, not more dangerous. I say God bless them.”
Well said!

What can we learn from this? We don’t need years-long consultation processes before initial rapid deployment of lanes. Get the cheap, quick, win. Prove the usage, then adjust and harden the infrastructure when there is a chance to bundle it with other road works. Repeat.

Last Thursday, a 24-year-old woman was killed by the driver of a large truck while trying to maneuver around a blocked bike lane. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
This is the fifth cyclist fatality this year.

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath

👇🏼 City councillors in Scarborough, Etobicoke & North York should be demanding improvements to their streets designed to slow driver speeds with ASE, road diets & more dedicated space for cyclists and pedestrians. @GraphicMatt #VisionZeroTO thestar.com/opinion/contribu…

Do you know when Yonge south of Dundas be fixed to increase sidewalk widths and reduce car lanes. It is incredibly claustrophobic to walk along that stretch.

TBT - on February 8, 2023, City Council voted to make the Midtown Yonge Complete Street permanent. Many thanks to @DianneSaxe, @JoshMatlow, and all the councillors who put safe streets, climate-friendly transportation, and equity ahead of the status quo. Yonge is for all of us!

This is a proposal for a traffic signal in an area with speeding cars & trucks. I clocked a car here at 92 km/h. Using the nearest safe crossing means a half km detour. Please support this proposal and support #RoadSafety, #VisionZero, #WalkTO and #BikeTO. It could save a life.
City staff are recommending a traffic signal on Bayview at Sutherland so people can access Mt. Pleasant Cemetery safely. Learn more and show North York Community Council that you support the staff recommendation. bit.ly/SafecrossingtoMountPl…

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s safer to NOT have them.
