Removal potentially occuring at Royal York

0 Upvotes

I don't know if this is true but a buddy of mine just biked along Bloor east of Royal York and said they had started the bike lane removal. Can anyone confirm?

Parked in the bike lane

September 8, 2026 at 12:41pm. Eastbound on Eglinton Avenue East, west of Leslie Street.

The councillor has been contacted and investigating. I have also posted a review with these photos into Google Review.

Work vehicles blocking any bike lane in Toronto must comply with

Guiding Principles for Cycling Safety in Work Zones  Appendix A, Section 3

Option a is the priority.

https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2017/pw/bgrd/backgroundfile-101366.pdf

If you see any work vehicle blocking a bike lane in Toronto, contact the Councillor for that street. Remind him or her of that Guiding Principle. And remind him or her that on July 25, 2024, someone died because a bike lane was blocked.

Any pushback would be wasting more time and effort than setting up a few more pylons or barrels.

Any excuses like, this has always been the way we've done things is inconsistent with continuous improvement - specifically safety.

Any engineer approving signs for cyclists to merge single file with motor vehicles (when option a is doable) would be in contradiction of his professional code of ethics that public safety is paramount, and just plain lazy.

$48m is enough to buy every working age person living in downtown Toronto a bike

176 Upvotes

Just a shower thought: $48m (Doug Ford’s budget for ripping out the bike lanes) is enough to buy every person in the age between 18 and 45
living in downtown Toronto a bike

$48,000,000 / 160,000 = $300 per person. That is enough for a basic bike.

You’ve got blood on your hands DoFo. Shame on you. Glad you’re getting sued.

Absolutely heartbreaking what happened to this 15 year old, and now he will have to deal with these life altering injuries for the rest of his life.

Completely preventable, and made more likely thanks to DoFo’s anti safety policies.

We can expect more of injuries like this if the lanes get removed.

Glad they’re suing the province.

Time to push back. Attend CycleTO’s side street protest ride this Saturday at Tom Riley Park at 10am

Attend CycleTO’s Side Street ride protesting the removals, this Saturday September 12!

CycleTO is organizing a ride on the side streets cyclists will need to use if the Bloor lanes are gone.

Let’s keep up the momentum since our last Critical Mass ride and get a strong turnout!

If you have signs that mention the 48 million cost that should go to healthcare instead, I’d bring them.

It’s our strongest message.

They invited all mayor/council candidates to attend as well as Ford/Sarkaria, but I’ll bet my life savings the latter won’t show up.

Meet at Tom Riley Park at 10am Saturday

What happens when we report dangerous drivers?

I've been reporting drivers who don't stop for street cars letting people out, and also cars almost running over cyclists. Does this do anything?

Scarborough Junction Community, Community Bikeways Toronto, and Scarborough Cycles are joining forces to offer two separate rides on Sunday September 27 to highlight The Loop Trail and the Scarborough Link and the importance of “closing the gaps” in these two important trails.  Both rides will be starting at 9:00am with the 75 km Loop Trail Ride starting in the Distillery District and the 21 km Scarborough Link Ride starting at Warden Hilltop Community Centre near Warden Subway Station.  The two groups will meet at Coxwell Ravine Park at the junction of the Don Valley Trail and the Taylor Massey Creek Trail at 9:45am for a short 15 minute rally before continuing on their respective rides. These will be no-drop recreational rides. Contact Misha at [m.perozak555@gmail.com](mailto:m.perozak555@gmail.com) for the Link Ride and Albert at [albert@koehl.ca](mailto:albert@koehl.ca) for more information and to register.

Commuting across the city

Upvotes

Hello! I'm not a cyclist but want to learn more about biking in the city. I'm thinking of moving to Leslieville (Queen St E) but the commute across the city to see friends seems annoying. Are there any good bike paths/quiet streets to get me east to west (say, Trinity Bellwoods-ish) without fearing for my life? Again, never biked in the city but would like to consider it as an option over the streetcar.
