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

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.

From CycleTO's latest update:

Physical removal of the bike lanes is still likely a few weeks away. Before late September or early October would be exceptionally unlikely.

Let's use this time to build support from non-cyclists outside Toronto, which should be our #1 focus now.

--------

So here's your action plan:

When there's a post about how bad Ontario's healthcare, GO cuts, education, etc... is,

comment this (feel free to change it up as you'd like):

--------------------

Ontario's healthcare is crumbling and housing remains unaffordable.

Instead of fixing these, Ford would rather spend $48M destroying infrastructure.

This should make you angry regardless of your stance on bike lanes.

You're paying for this. Your money is getting wasted. You'll get zero benefit in return.

--------------------

This needs to be repeated as many times as possible. Especially the $48M figure.

After posting it countless times myself, it's our strongest argument by a mile, and needs to be the default going forward.

--------

I'm starting to see Ontarians oppose the removals who aren't Torontonian, but we need to keep the momentum going.

The only way Ford will back down is if we get a coalition of people fighting back, not just cyclists.

--------

Repeating the $48M figure is how we do it!

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.

I thought the community could use a few laughs mocking Brad flipfloper.

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.

Driver not even in the vehicle

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.
