I contrast ABC Toronto’s opposition of University bike lanes in May using a badly faked AI image, claiming it’s a hospital corridor 1st, w dozens healthcare workers rallying this week in support of lanes, w 650 of them signing an open letter to Doug Ford. Very Real vs Very Fake.

In ERs, we see the impact of unsafe roads regularly. Cities with good bike infrastructure have fewer deaths and greater safety for all, regardless of whether they’re walking, cycling or driving. Ontario gov should reconsider how to spend $48 mil Improve lives - not put them at risk #bikeTO #onpoli

Put another way, Ford wants to spend more on removing bike lanes in Toronto ($48M) than he's spent protecting all of Ontario's businesses from an international trade war. Ontario deserves serious leadership, that follows through on promises, and actually puts people before profits.

Bike lanes save lives. Thanks to the nearly 1,000 folks who came out to Friday's Critical Mass ride to Etobicoke where the province intends to start removing the bike lanes "immediately". 📸: Joshua Best

I hope whatever civil engineering firm lands this RFP is haunted at night by visions of the cyclists they'll be killing. I hope their iron ring they were given at graduation when they took an oath to the public starts to itch and weigh on their finger like an anchor.

What is certain, however, is that a vast sum of our money will be wasted, countless Torontonians will find themselves profoundly inconvenienced for extended periods, and, eventually, a cyclist will get struck by a car. But at least the congestion will be worse.

Editorial board: "Mr. Ford insists this is a common-sense approach to tackling congestion. But a possible tell that this is more about culture-war politics is that he is making no effort to remove parking spaces, which take up more room than bicycle lanes." #BikeTo #OnPoli #ToPoli

"But there are many things that are both legally permissible and also unwise. Remember, Ontario is the largest province in the country... with a $17-billion projected deficit and a long list of serious challenges. Mr. Ford has much bigger fish to fry. He, too, should stick to his lane."

Toronto's also not Helsinki, but something like 15% of its residents still cycle even in the dead of winter, because they maintain some 150km of priority bike paths.

Funny. We get told that Toronto's not California without 6-month long winters (?) where you can bike all year round. Is it possible it's not about the climate but it's about the infrastructure?

Doug Ford knew that banning speed cameras in Ontario would cost lives. He did it anyway. He also knows that banning and removing protected bike-lanes in Ontario will cost lives. He did it anyway. Every resulting life stupidly cut short is on him.

Don't give up hope, especially with all the information being leaked over the past 48h. I think it was a major miscalculation by many people & organizations to assume who rides a bike, and why. The negative economic impacts that make it look like a bad business decision is hitting where it matters

Full-sized SUVs are pedestrian killers. New research finds that they're more than twice as likely to kill or seriously injure a pedestrian than other cars. (Notably, vehicle height—not weight—was the biggest risk factor.) doi.org/10.1016/j.js...
