Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

There’s a new mural in Cabbagetown. 🍁
Ecology of Us, a new 22-storey mural by Jarus at 140 Carlton St., transforms a building into a tribute to the maple tree that stood nearby in Allan Gardens.
This City of Toronto, StreetARToronto mural advances reconciliation, diversity, equity and inclusion through public art, mentorship and community engagement, building more welcoming streets and a shared sense of belonging.🌳🎨

Félicitations, @oliviachow, pour votre réélection à la mairie.
Nous avons beaucoup de réalisations à notre actif pour les gens de Toronto : plus de logements, de nouveaux investissements dans le transport en commun, des logements avec services pour les plus vulnérables – et nous avons la chance d’en faire encore plus. Bien hâte.

Jour 1 de la chaise vide.
Aujourd’hui, se tient une rencontre importante entre le gouvernement fédéral, les premiers ministres des provinces et les représentants des Premières Nations.
Paul St-Pierre Plamondon choisit de laisser la chaise du Québec vide.
À peine entré en fonction, lui qui promettait de collaborer avec le reste du Canada manque déjà une occasion de passer de la parole aux actes.
Défendre les intérêts du Québec et bâtir des relations avec les Premières Nations, ça exige d’être présent et de faire preuve de leadership.
Nous talonnerons le gouvernement à l’Assemblée nationale sur sa décision.

Too much American TV has created a narrative that cities are inherently unsafe. Brad Bradford is weaponizing those fears and painting a picture of Toronto that doesn’t align with reality by any metric.

Kathleen knows what’s at stake in this election.
I’m so grateful for this conversation with amazing trailblazing women.

If 905ers don't like bike lanes and don't want to take the GO - simpler answer: don't live/work in Toronto. There are lots of other cities that have wide streets, lots of parking and no bike lanes. People/businesses move to Toronto BECAUSE of the density, transit and bike lanes.

Doug Ford’s war on bike lanes isn’t about traffic—it’s part of a global right-wing backlash to vilify urban residents and defend fossil fuel interests.

The extraordinary Millau Viaduct in southern France designed by Norman Foster and structural engineer Michel Virlogeux (2004)
The bridge rises 343 meters above the Tarn Valley. Its seven soaring pylons and delicate cable system make it one of modern engineering’s most elegant achievements

NEW with AUDIO!
I was able to use an AI lip-reading tool to synthesize sound of what @kellyclarkson said at Art of Play.
Dialogue isn't a 100% match, but I think it's close!
The security footage of Kelly Clarkson’s visit to Art of Play has been obtained by Pablo Torre.

Most road widenings happened with 0 public input. Trucks just showed up in the middle of the night and bulldozed sidewalks to add a few traffic lanes because traffic engineers said so.
Now, when we want those lanes converted back to sidewalks or bike lanes, it requires 15 public meetings, coordination between 5 different city agencies, and special one-on-one meetings with NIMBYs.
And it still might not happen because that NIMBY knows people in city hall.
