I just spent like 20 minutes crawling 2 km down Yonge on a subway replacement bus. They should close the road to everything except buses and taxis when the subway is closed. Cars can just take side streets, right?

The irony. The executive director of Cycle Toronto was unable to attend the media announcement of the Charter challenge. He is in the hospital after being "doored" in an unprotected bike lane on a side street- the type of bike lane promoted by Ford's Government. www.tvo.org/article/is-t...

You're right - our inner suburbs are underserved by transit and active transportation infrastructure. Scarborough needs priority bus lanes and bike lanes so that getting around without a car is safe and comfortable.

Actually everywhere. When North American cities add lanes, traffic doesn’t get better. The only thing that actually improves gridlock are a combination of bike lanes and better transit. We also have to build cities that aren’t reliant on cars to get around.

We suspected as much - the University Ave bike lanes are so beautifully wide! And it's easy for bikes to pull off onto the sidewalk if an ambulance is coming.

It’s -7°C in Toronto today, but I had to get all the way from my apartment to midtown and then back downtown in under an hour. Thanks to safe cycling infrastructure on the 3 roads Ford wants to tear up, cycling was not only possible but also the easiest and most enjoyable option. No need to drive.

Some people argue that bike lanes impede emergency vehicles. But that’s not always true. Because cyclists can get out of the way easily and cars can’t, bike lanes can actually be used as emergency vehicle lanes. Because cars are what cause traffic jams. (H/T @observingthecity.bsky.social)

Toronto is on a grid, but also an expansive ravine system. Sooner or later all “alternate routes” need to feed into bridges. There’s good reason why bike lanes on main routes are desirable, apart from access to shops and commutes. #bikeTO #Toronto
