If public transit and cycling had even 10% of the subsidies we give to car culture, our cities would look completely different.

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

It's inarguable at this point that the winter maintenance of bike lanes (especially along arterial roads) is not keeping up with roads and sidewalks.
311 is how the City tracks concerns (or lack thereof). #BikeTO let's start reporting these unrideable lanes en masse:
