New @taypace.bsky.social article outlining the many concerns around council’s decision to not plow bike lanes this winter, with some insightful feedback from @activeguelph.bsky.social & @bicyclemayorguelph.bsky.social. This is a mistake and a liability. #Guelph #cycling @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

Yup, heard about this from friends in Guelph. Very upsetting. You spend money on infra and encourage people to use it, but then cut funding to keep it safe an useable all year? What a waste or resources and potential hazard. If anyone is injured as a result, they should call us.
Bill 33 has passed, but our fight for strong public schools is not over. #repealbill33 #onted #onpoli
Welp, get ready for cyclists to take the full lane this winter. An awful decision which impacts the accessibility and transportation needs for people who rely on bike lanes to get where they need to go. @bicyclemayorguelph.bsky.social @activeguelph.bsky.social @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social #guelph

Pesky e-bike riders delivering food to people should be ticketed... @tps.ca there appears to be a double standard here because stopping in for some Jerk King, although delicious is not actively responding to an emergency. The use of the lights here, while clever, is certainly inappropriate.
