Data Counts - more people walking & cycling than one person per car - yet majority of public street space given to private vehicles 🚗 @bikewaysto.bsky.social @cycletoronto.bsky.social

Doug Ford & his buddy Brad BradFORD think we should ride on the trails instead of direct to work, shops, friends. Do they know there is no street lighting on our trails?!

People of all ages and abilities ride bicycles for transportation in Toronto on our public streets.

To cafe, or not to cafe, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The lack of caffeine and pastry would be outrageous fortune, Or to take books with you against a sea of troubles And by opposing this desire relinquish a s’wonderful afternoon.
Me in a dress, pattern is sunflowers. Green grass and blue skies. I have a big smile!

#BikeToWork route is Jane & Bloor to Danforth & Broadview on protected bike lanes ~ comfortable & direct - 15km one way is reliable 1 hr ride. When I use TTC icy days - I use a bus, train, & streetcar = 1 1/2hr if all on time with waits outdoors in cold without shelter 🎥 from yesterday Sept17

Adam Pham is Back to Basics: vision includes “enhanced public safety” “enhanced police presence” “make it easier for cars to access High Park” “restoring lanes for cars along Bloor St W creating a better alternative bike lane” “It’s time for Toronto to blossom 🌸 “ by going back to basics … nope.

Check the AQI before you engage in outdoor activities — when will cities ensure driving private vehicles & construction is paused during daze like this?!

I just watched my neighbour spray “weed killer” alongside my garden. I ask what it is. I say i grow food here. He doesn’t care! He doesn’t like weeds on his asphalt driveway. Kill me now!

This activist is ready to give up! Why? People come together & walk miles to cheer on a ⚽️ game; are passionate for 🏀 series; Hockey 🏒🥅 of course. But. Politics. Do they vote? Do they become educated on what level of government does what?! Will they rise up for ON Place, ON SciCtre & TO Island?

The DUE did not come so I walked / staggered UP St Marks Rd and thankful 35A showed up at 5:32 (hill sidewalk terrible shape / baby point rd perfect )
TTC schedules Baby Point Road has nicely cleared sidewalks!

TTC what’s up ?! Trying to take transit downtown on a Saturday night in December with -5C 🥶 and planned track work + shuttle buses?! No wonder people drive in the city even if it’s gridlocked.

Janet Joy 🇨🇦 @jsquaredink.bsky.social · 13/12/2025
Why do people drive? TTC bus - wait 20 minutes for it to arrive and another 23 minutes for it to move?! I was spoiled by connections this morning to travel 8km which would take me 30 minutes if roads clear & safe #torontottc
