THREAD: Bloor West bike lane protest day 2 This thing that pissing me off the most is that Toronto Police are supposed to keep Torontonians safe. At least let the OPP do the province's dirty work. Why am I paying for the TPS to go against the city’s wishes?

Riot police threatened us w criminal charges.

Toronto bike lane removal. When your infrastructure project has huge police protection and the contractors hide the logos on their trucks and gear, you are in the wrong.

One of their talking points is “negative impact to emerg vehicle times” but we’ve heard from EMS and fire, they participated in a city hall deputation, and said there’d been no negative impacts.

I wonder how “merely” the driver “pulled up alongside it.”

It is curious that the main contractor sent their sub in alone, without support & let them take the heat. But they were nowhere to be seen. If you want to know who that is: Find out why this line on the City's Road Restrictions map has no details attached to it www.toronto.ca/services-pay...

There are really only a few firms in Toronto who can do this scale of urban traffic control. Stinson/Ramudden was there for the installation. Glad to know they are not involved in the removals.

Bloor bike lane removal: Day 1
The province announced that today was the day that removal of a section of the Bloor bike lanes would start, and so the call went out to the community. The meeting point was the same place where we massed at the end of September, when we showed up 800 strong. On the way there, I see a decent number of cyclists headed to the same place.

The only thing that stopped me last winter was a lack of snow clearing combined with aggressive drivers who reaaaally hated it when I took the lane.

The hero’s response when he’s “100% right”
Emmet MacFarlane said something silly, got ratioed by people who were actually giving thoughtful responses, and blocked all of us.

I love how his next post is about how he’s going to get yelled at but he’s “100% right” meanwhile every reply I’ve seen is someone calmly and rationally explaining to him why he’s wrong

Absolutely this.

One last thing: you say cyclists should emphasize safety. Well, what’s the other side of that coin? Do we want safe streets? Absolutely. By default, nearly every cyclist is a safe streets advocate. And why’s that? Because of the violence we experience in ways large and small on every ride.

Can I Pet Your Dog? @kristineff.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Also, let’s be clear: when drivers pass cyclists too close, honk their horns in anger, roll their windows down to yell, crawl alongside them so close they’re about to crash, that’s illegal, dangerous, and terrifying, and that’s behaviour that should get them arrested. And they never do.

Can I Pet Your Dog? @kristineff.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
That violence is real and it’s something we deal with regularly. I use a lot of torontos central bike lanes regularly and through this process I’ve had to ask myself, is this going to be what gets me hurt or killed?

Emmett, I genuinely think that if you spent a week cycling to and from work, you’d understand how terrifying it can be to ride when people are casually threatening you with their vehicles. It happens on nearly every ride despite being overly cautious & following all rules, as Rob said.

Yeah I was training for a big race and the weeks following that storm should have been my peak—instead, every route was impassable and it fucking sucked

Can I Pet Your Dog? @kristineff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
It’s absolutely wild because at least you can see some pavement in this, it’s so far from how bad the average sidewalk is after a storm

Ok I see. Yeah as a Tern owner, I’ve been trying to find information I can use so other people understand how much safer a Bosch system & battery are and what the certifications mean. I have read two documents today, including the Bosch battery pamphlet, but they don’t talk about that at all.

Hi, do you have a source for the Toronto fire chief’s support of certified Bosch ebike batteries?

Watching a project like that get pushed through council is so painful. They demand study after study and tend to play it so safe as to not allow actual progress. It’s really frustrating. And that one could have been a slam dunk.

The bot has responded. I wonder if it knows that just last year Saxe 1) unnecessarily delayed & publicly opposed a 4-storey housing project on Ossington and 2) encouraged the watering-down of the red bus lanes, which could have had a huge & positive impact on transit riders?

Can I Pet Your Dog? @kristineff.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
People think that it’s a bot account bc just today it’s been name searching Saxe & responding the same content to various posts (some of the posts are a month old).

Yeah and even if there are rush hour parking bans, there will be people who stop “just for a minute”

“Re-elect” is misleading at best and deliberately manipulative at worst. Why do you keep citing the NDP when parties are not involved in muni politics?

This person is just blatantly making shit up about Dianne Saxe, who does not live in Toronto-Danforth and has never represented Toronto-Danforth. She has very opportunistically jumped wards in a desperate effort to maintain her job on city council because she didn't want to face Mike Layton.

Reminds me of the Hallam residents who were SO angry about losing "their" street parking directly in front of their house (lots on the other side), despite having a driveway & double garage. They said it was too hard to turn their heads & reverse in/out of their driveway. You shouldn't be driving.

Hey everybody if you’re wondering why I’m interacting with your months-old posts it’s because I just saw OBSESSION on Saturday and really, really enjoyed it
