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

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...

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

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?
