The power of community in reporting road hazards is amazing & makes riding safer for all. This week with the help of Councillor @bravodavenport's office the Bloor & Russett fiasco was mostly remedied. We also saw work done on areas our office & community members had previously reported on 1/2
You take the lanes, we take the road.

There's still a win-win deal on the table. Mayor Chow offered to work with Premier Ford to restore the travel lanes but keep the bike lanes. Ford refused. Tell the premier on focus on the challenges facing all Ontarians: cycleto.ca/fight_trump

Despite our protestations, the SIU has seemingly greenlit use of force by police against cyclists for minor traffic infractions. With a mandate to determine criminality, the SIU didn't have to make such a broad anti-cyclist finding: thebikinglawyer.ca/blog/siu-end...

Despite our office & Cllr Bravo trying to have construction safety concerns addressed by @tridelcommunities.bsky.social, we have been ignored. For at least a month lanes have been shut down contrary to municipal safety standards & known hazards left for road users to navigate themselves 1/2

The danger road users face at Bloor & Russett has gone on long enough. Improper lane/sidewalk closures & safety violations abound. The City of Toronto has done nothing. Today, we reported to 311. Looks like Deltera Construction Management is to blame & the City for not inspecting 1/3

Hey @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social, saw one of your bags in the wild while at Taste of Bangladesh with @jennie1ofmany.bsky.social last night!
Glad Toronto Police spent the last 2 weeks blitzing vulnerable road users like e-bikers/e-scooters. Resources well spent. Meanwhile the real traffic issue on our roadways, dangerous drivers: Killed 2 pedestrians in 24 hours & another nearly killed Friday. When is this City going to get serious?

“We’ve also got a mayoral election going on and you’ve got a once pro-bike councillor running for mayor on an anti-bike platform. So there’s that mix of provincial and municipal that really have people engaged,” said Shellnutt. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/08/28/c...
