Had a chat with CBC Metro Morning's Chris Glover about a newly opened section on The Meadoway. Greenways are an important part of the active transportation network in #ScarbTO, but we also need real good cycling infrastructure on arterial roads as well. www.cbc.ca/listen/live-... #bikeTO #walkTO

After (literally) decades of planning, studies, reports, investigations, and designs, the long-awaited safety improvements to Port Union Rd are now complete (finally). Someone should write a Masters thesis on the decision-making process and planning history of this project. #ScarbTO #WalkTO #BikeTO

Last weekend I led a Jane’s Bike Ride highlighting newly built and much needed active transportation connections in Scarborough Southwest and East York. My goal was to help shine a light on a citizen-led project to establish the West Scarborough Rail Trail. #walkTO #bikeTO #ScarbTO #janeswalk

Local residents (mostly seniors) ride year round in Scarborough and bike racks are always well utilized at Woodside Mall. Building bike culture here means providing ample bike parking that is covered from the elements, well-lit, and conveniently by the entrance. #bikeTO #ScarbTO #Ward23

Many thanks for the warm invite and for the opportunity to talk to you all about my experiences incubating cycling in the suburbs. I learned a lot too! The #ottbike community has many strong community connections and potential partnerships are plenty! Thanks for the swag, wore it today, perfect fit!

Milan's separated bike lanes look nice. #bikeTO

10 days after the last snowstorm, this is the state of the sidewalk beside Birch Cliff PS. A slippery, inaccessible, sidewalk, forcing those with mobility aids/strollers/etc. to walk beside live traffic. Please tell me more about the 'war on the car'. #Ward20 #TOpoli #ScarbTO #WalkTO #VisionZero

Major safety improvements are coming to #ScarbTO with the Ellesmere Complete Street. New sidewalks/cycle tracks will connect key destinations (UTSC, Centennial College, Centenary Hospital, Meadoway). Submit your comments > secure.toronto.ca/council/agen... #bikeTO #walkTO #ward25 #Ward25

The Danforth Complete Street really does end in Scarborough. There is a bike lane stub under that snow and ice. #bikeTO #ScarbTO

Driver nearly hits me. This could have been a life-changing injury. Eastbound on Danforth Ave in #Ward20 #ScarbTO Driving complaint submitted. No more delays for the Danforth-Kingston Complete Street Extension. Residents need protection from dangerous drivers like this. #bikeTO #VisionZeroTO
