Yesterday the cafe I work at packed up its CafeTO patio. Immediately, someone parked where the patio used to be and the spot was basically occupied all day m. It made me think of the bike lane removal thing. All those “freed up” lanes will just be parking. It won’t ease car congestion at all.

Hamilton continues to do a thing that Toronto gave up on in 2022: Open Streets. I went out last Sunday to check it out, and it’s wonderful.

Open Streets in Hamilton
Hamilton hosts a popular and successful Open Streets event every year along King Street East. In 2027, Toronto should strive to be at least as ambitious.

Will any other OLP leadership candidate speak out about Doug Ford walking away from a "win-win" offer from Olivia Chow to restore car lanes but keep the bike lanes in Etobicoke?

Even a simple "bike lanes are a municipal issue"?

Asking for a city.
Why is Doug Ford fighting with Toronto over bike lanes?

The city has already invested heavily in cycling infrastructure, and Bike Share Toronto is at record-high ridership.

His plan will cost taxpayers across the province millions and won’t do anything to improve congestion.

Great first visit to the newly-opened section of Biidaasige Park. Can’t wait to see its evolution over the next few years.

Ugh. This is a disaster for Toronto.

Ripping out protected bike lanes on Bloor Street, Yonge Street, and University Ave will gut the city's bike network. Crashes will increase.

And no, traffic will not be faster.

“In London cyclists now outnumber cars in the City by 2 to 1. Paris, where they now outnumber motorists across the whole city, is catching up with Europe’s traditional bike capitals, Amsterdam & Copenhagen…In Copenhagen, bikes account for almost half of commuter trips to work/school.” @economist.com
Forget EVs. Cycling is revolutionising transport

IntegrityTO: I propose a fun social media challenge. You and I enter sealed rooms.

Mine will have a layer of red road paint covering the floor.

Yours will contain a running car (⛽️ not ⚡️).

Whoever emerges after a few hours gets final say about what’s toxic on the road.

Cool study from @bikewaysto.bsky.social detailing a traffic count on Bloor Street taken on June 11 with a camera at 412 Bloor West. During the peak of the afternoon rush, bikes outnumbered cars.

I repeat: bikes outnumbered cars.

This is great
To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars.

Even if those cars are electric.

And then there’s all the parking.

OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money and pollution.

Lunch time stroll around Toronto City Hall.
I'm embarrassed to admit I only recently learned about the green roof they have there; does anyone know if/when it'll be public accessible again? I got differing answers upon a Google search.
