Dear Toronto City Council, on Feb 7th you’ll be voting on whether to make the Midtown Yonge Complete Street Pilot permanent (and in a prior vote on Jan 30th for those of you in the IEC). I have a LOT of experience using Yonge on bike and foot. Here’s a thread … 1/30

Hey @DianneSaxe and @MayorOliviaChow, a landscaper was using the #BikeTO cycle tracks on University Avenue on Friday afternoon, weaving in and out with a utility vehicle at an aggressive rate of speed, coming close to striking vulnerable road users.

We have enough hazards with cars blocking these cycle tracks without people using them as a traffic bypass. Installing cycle tracks isn’t enough. We need #TOpoli’s help to work with police & increase enforcement. @FFSafeStreets @TheBikingLawyer #VisionZero #RoadSafety

The vehicle belongs to Landscape Effects and (given their destination) appears to be doing work for the Ontario Ministry of Finance. Notice the safety-inducing snowplow up front.

“There is a huge cost when people lose their lives or are seriously injured as a result of a crash with a motor vehicle,” says lawyer and cycling advocate David Shellnutt globalnews.ca/news/10428535/… via @ShallimaMaharaj @globalnewsto – at Toronto, Ontario

Cycling deaths in Toronto year-to-date surpass 2023 total - Toronto | Globalnews.ca

Cycling-related deaths in 2024 have risen beyond the number recorded last year, according to the city of Toronto. Advocates say a plan of action must go beyond new infrastructure.

I missed being doored tonight at College x Ossington by less than an inch. I would have been seriously injured, perhaps run over. My light is 1000 lumens. Driver admitted he didn't look. We need safe separated bike lanes extended to Lansdowne now @BravoDavenport, please #bikeTO – at Toronto, Ontario

@stephenholyday When you allow your constituents to dehumanize cyclists and talk about running them over to get them out of the way, with others laughing about it, this will be the result. Shame on you. @FFSafeStreets thestar.com/news/gta/this-is…

This bullshit will be familiar to anyone who’s ever been at a public meeting about anything to do with safety for people on bikes. Leaders like @stephenholyday stoke this fire on the regular - it’s no surprise it leads to this.

Our letter to @stephenholyday calling on him to publicly denounce anti-cyclist violence incited by his latest cycling network town hall. Should any cyclist be targeted & injured following this event in Etobicoke, blame may fall at your feet #BikeTO: thebikinglawyer.ca/post/inci…

Finally the IIHS in the US is tackling the rising danger to VRU's. They're famous for testing crash worthiness on the inside of a car but not the outside. Here's an interview with IIHS-HLDI President David Harkey. #VisionZero #RoadSafety @FFSafeStreets youtube.com/watch?v=gR7m7nVt…

So, while they're testing and rating the danger to occupants of motor vehicles, when will they start rating the danger to pedestrians and cyclists on the OUTSIDE? The makers of monster SUV's and pickups need to be held to account.
