The City of Toronto is planning improvements to road design, vulnerable road user safety, and cycling infrastructure in the Oakwood area. Attend the public drop-in event tonight at 6:00 at the Oakwood Village Library and share your voice. Find out more: toronto.ca/community-peop…

"The cyclist, a 60-year-old woman, was travelling east on McNicoll Ave when she was hit by the driver making a left turn." Scarborough is a tough place to be a VRU. Sending loads of love. Ghost bike ride in the works @RespectTO thestar.com/news/gta/cycli…

Tomorrow night, the #CityofTO is hosting the first of four public drop-in sessions to receive feedback on planned bikeways between 2025-2027. Visit toronto.ca/cyclingnetwork… to learn more about drop-in dates and locations, and how you can share your input online. #BikeTO

To those complaining that speed-limiting tech is an attack on their freedom: You do realize that -- by definition -- speeding is illegal, right? People are not free to do illegal things.

@Walk_TO Agreed! We created the prioritization framework with exactly those considerations in mind and are applying weighting criteria accordingly. You can learn more about the program and check out the next set of Neighbourhood Streets Plans here: toronto.ca/neighbourhoods…

(The one concern is that these will focus on well-organized, likely affluent neighbourhoods. It will be important for the city to be proactive in identifying and supporting less vocal neighbourhoods that are also in need of traffic safety support).

The City has started working on neighbourhood transportation plans that aim to create safer, calmer streets, with both short-term measures and longer-term strategies. A positive step forward. Here is the one for Leaside. secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda…

@PeterRichards Huh, always thought you went by Richard?

I really like these new road bump-outs in Harbord Village. These simple interventions manage stormwater, increase canopy cover, calm traffic and protect pedestrians. Let's replicate them across the city.

Two people died on this street after being hit by speeding drivers. Speeding drivers cost two people their lives. Don’t speed. Don’t get a ticket. Simple.

One day Toronto, one day…

A person has never seen an avocado. You hand it to them expecting them to visualize guac dip. Not gonna happen. You send out community surveys asking residents to give advice about transportation networks. They have no idea what's possible.

I know parking can sound like a boring topic, but crafting better parking policy is one of the most direct ways to making a city better. Hoping for big things from this work.

Good morning Canada! Lots to come today. I made it my goal the past few weeks to tell as many stories about *who* Canada's national team is ahead of their return to the World Cup. I hope readers have learned something from them. Here's a few I've enjoyed: 1/? #CanMNT

The lesson: Some drivers inevitably hem and haw over car-free streets, but many, many residents love them, especially after experiencing them for themselves. Politicians: Don't focus on the grumpy car owners. If you create better streets, voters will reward you.

Direct democracy leading to car-free streets 🤔

During the pandemic, Toronto's parking spaces generated way more revenue as patios. An analysis estimated that customers spent $181 million in the street patio spaces compared to the $3.7 million the same spaces would have generated in parking revenue. loom.ly/C4Cl7MY

This thread would be funny if it weren’t so sad.
