“Doug Ford often argues that major arteries like Bloor Street are meant for car traffic, not bikes. But what he fails to understand is that these roads were actually never intended for cars at all." No lies detected
A modest proposal: Someone in Toronto has started a petition to remove all car lanes on Bloor - Canadian Cycling Magazine
As Toronto's bike lane battle rages on, someone is pushing to turn Bloor Street West into a car-free corridor

If these were different kids we would call this a 'bike bus' and a City Councillor would come out for a cute ride along.
Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 3d agoHere is the full video of what is described as "dangerous" behavior in the article. I see kids stopping at a light and then going. A few scooters on the sidewalk that then ride into what appears to be a bike lane. The only mistake these kids made was not getting driven to school by mom and dad.
Remember, conservatives governments will preach about efficiency and cutting waste and unnecessary costs... unless they can find some culture wars bullshit that they can latch on to, then no amount of wasted money is too much. www.freshetnews.ca/new-westmins...

The City of Vancouver released detailed election results today — and they show a story of Pete Fry becoming mayor by winning the north of the city. Fry's highest results were 80% at Britannia Community Centre and 73% at Mt. Pleasant Community Centre.

Mom and dad aren't mad, they’re just disappointed that you experimented with separation.
This is a strawman from Dominato; no one at Vision Zero wants to abolish roads. But we're curious to know, when she says "we have to strike a balance", what's her acceptable number of deaths on our roads?
abc ad within 100 metres of a polling place... this is illegal, right?
The traffic calming installed in my neighbourhood has meant my kids have a safe route to school and soccer practice. Its made a huge difference for our comfort. Ken Sim & ABC would rather placate a handful of noisy drivers than protect children, seniors, & others who just want to get around safely.

Getting out the vote for road safety! Today is the 2nd early voting day!
This is a HUGE red flag for transportation in Vancouver. Ken Sim is vowing to repeal Gregor Robertson's 2017 delegation of authority to the chief engineer on road allocation. This would mean that every single bike lane and traffic calming scheme has to go to council for a public hearing and vote.
Distraction is the second leading cause of fatal crashes in our region and province. We hope that all candidates take that seriously, especially those from a party campaigning on public safety. (Video from ABC School Board Candidate Lina Vargas on Instagram)
On Friday it took David Eby just 2 hours and 13 minutes to cave-in on TransLink's long awaited new revenue tool. This also marks the 25th anniversary of Mike Farnworth and the NDP axing a vehicle levy in 2001, and losing that year's election 77-2.

Elections have a way of clarifying who matters to political parties (car owners) and whose priorities can wait for another day (transit advocates). My dispatch from Day 1 on David Eby’s four day mid-election road trip. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
ANALYSIS | Eby puts needs of car owners ahead of transit advocates in ruling out Metro Vancouver vehicle levy | CBC News
For the last 18 months, a vehicle levy has been talked about by TransLink as a potential way to create a more sustainable funding model, as revenue from fuel taxes continues to decline. But all that w...
