Thanks to @metromorning and @mattgallowaycbc for focusing on road safety & challenging council & the province to fully implement Vision Zero. Everyone walking or bicycling in our city is someone’s friend or family. If you’re driving, please see them as though they were your own.

Hey @NACTO #NACTO19. Before you fawn over Toronto's leadership, we have seen MANY pedestrians preventably killed in recent weeks. This woman, killed yesterday, might have been someone's mom. cp24.com/news/woman-struck-a… This one, Friday, someone's grandpa? toronto.citynews.ca/video/20…

Thank you, @JohnTory, for the warm welcome to the North. From prioritizing North America's most-traveled transit street, to reinvigatoring lifesaving speed cameras, your leadership shines in the movement for safe, sustainable, people-first cities. #NACTO19
