We hold City Hall to account for its road safety, cycling + climate plans while fighting to reallocate space to walk/cycle/transit to create healthy communities.
"Ridiculous and absurd, sure, but this “war” is still on, and it has many active fronts." Well said @shawnmicallef.bsky.social www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
Shawn Micallef: Doug Ford has waged a Trump-like war on bike lanes. Here’s how Toronto can fight back
Ford’s war on bike lanes is a culture war. From protests to narrowing roads, here is how Toronto can fight back.

Great investigative piece by Star abt Ford's rejection of city's compromise plan to restore car lanes but keep bikelanes. Ford rejection of win-win plan won't sit well with many Ontarians who prefer a respectful Made-in-Canada approach over Trump-style vindictiveness. #onpoli @andytakagi.bsky.social
That #ScarbTO ride will join @bikewaysto.bsky.social's "Ride the Loop Close the Gaps" ride 9:45 AM at Coxwell Ravine Park for a brief rally. You can find out more about that ride at this link. #BikeTO #TOpoli www.communitybikewaysto.ca/events/ride-...
Per a series of bike counts done by @bikewaysto.bsky.social, removing bike lanes will adversely affect pedestrians. About 30% of cyclists rode on sidewalks at Royal York in August 2023 pre-installation compared to 4% in May 2024. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero drive.google.com/file/d/1LVJ5...

Our call to Alberta's Chief Medical Examiner to conduct death review for pedestrians/cyclists killed in crashes involving pickups/large SUVs. Road deaths are surging in Calgary+Edmonton. In 2025, Calgary had 38 deaths -- same as Toronto which has twice the pop'n. guelph.ctvnews.ca/calgary/arti...
Road safety groups urge review of pedestrian, cyclist deaths in crashes with larger vehicles
Multiple Canadian road safety groups want to know if there’s a growing danger in Alberta to pedestrians, cyclists and the like from pickup trucks and large SUVs.

"The push comes amid heightened concern about road safety in Calgary, after 15 pedestrians were killed on city roads in 2025, a 225% increase from the previous year. In February, a two-year-old child was killed after being struck by a Jeep while being pushed in a stroller in marked crosswalk."

Meet the team of the recently formed Bike Parking Alliance of Toronto! (BPAT) We're a team of 13 students across the GTA, who came together around a simple issue: Toronto just needs more bike parking and better bike parking, and it isn't there. That’s what we're trying to fix. (1/3)
We are teaming up with Stonegate Community Health Centre's Food Market to offer free bike tune-ups. Join us! Thurs, Aug 13. Noon to 3pm. Location: 10 Neighbourhood Lane, Etobicoke (near Stephen Dr & Berry Rd, just off the lower Humber trail).
Here's a reminder of our ask to the Chief Medical Examiner from last week 2/2 visionzerohfx.ghost.io/nova-scotia-...
Nova Scotia must take action to prevent deaths from pick-ups and large SUVs
Pickups, largely promoted and used for personal travel, along with SUVs and minivans, accounted for almost 88% of new vehicle sales in Canada in 2025.

What the Carneys of the world ignore is even the business case for slashing environmental protections doesn’t work. I work for a small business. We won’t get foot traffic until the smoke clears. No one will buy a coffee, sit on the patio, anything. This hurts business, it’s bad for the economy.
