The new MCI @GOtransit Bus is looking oh so fine! Was an honour to help @Metrolinx procure these as part of my past Service Planning team's work on the fleet strategy business case. Hundreds more coming to a stop near you soon! #onpoli cc @chrisjamesdrew.bsky.social

Finally got to explore the new Lower Don Trail. It's incredibly high quality build, some very nice bridges, a wild 3-loop railway overpass and a new tunnel. Not done yet, still a few trail gaps, but great work by @TO_Cycling_Ped! #biketo

First look 👀 at new #RapidTO transit priority installation on Bathurst south of Fort York. More white line painting to come, but a great start! What do you think?

Took my #BikeTO colleagues on a walk/roll of the newly & under construction Harbord Bikeway yesterday.

Harbord/Hoskin has been a bikeway since 1998, 27 years.

Curbs, planters, accessible platforms.. and so much more.

#DraperStreet is the 🥰 newest old street in Toronto that nobody knows about (yet). The street was just redone with world class European-style bricks.

Located right next to #TheWell it's only 150m long, bordered by detached heritage homes - like a secret gem hidden in the ❤️ of downtown!

I'm fundraising for the "BIG Toronto Bike Ride 2025" in support of @cycletoronto.bsky.social & thier mission to build a safer city for people who ride bikes. I believe crashes like mine should not happen to anyone else! Please give what you can here: www.canadahelps.org/en/charities... #bikeTO

🚨A Safer #KingstonRoad 🚨 is overdue so the City is planning to install 6km of new protected cycle tracks. All existing vehicle lanes will remain so #Bill212 does not apply!

Website has been updated with new details for consultation in October... toronto.ca/community-peop…#biketoto

Saw this lovely greenway traffic diverter in #bikeTO and was reminded it's featured in the "Neighborhood Greenways Guide" check it out here: www.toronto.ca/wp-content/u...

🕵️ I went to the infamous #ParksideDrive 7X crime scene: there are numerous poles facing the speed camera where surveillance 📸 could be mounted - I know there was a deer cam in the woods before - but we need an actual camera, properly mounted in plain sight *with*barbed*wire* around it. #toPoli

There are some “creative” designs on the new #bollards at #UnionStation.

Let's get @StART_Toronto to hire #localartists to come paint these boring yellow #bollards instead off paying for constant #graffiti removal?!

PS Just like the bike barriers - credit too @kayehm.bsky.social for photos :)

I saw this #timber framed modular building on Royal York. Very cool and hope to see more! Anyone know the details of the cost/benefits of this design?

14 cars / 27 bikes this light. Adelaide Street EB at Peter. 9am on Wednesday. #BikeTO

Now it’s 🚲🚀 GO time #TOPoli let’s use this momentum & community support to build more #BikeTO bikeways to keep people safe & reduce congestion!

The City has a strong 3-year plan, backed by extensive DATA & #VisionZero

It’s time for less talk & more ACTION!

I made a nifty new animation that shows @BikeShareTO departures (blue) vs arrivals (yellow) total per hexagon and per hour over a few days based on @Open_TO using kepler.gl

Can see the daily rhythm of pickups and drop offs? This is why rebalancing is so difficult #bikeTO

Check out these beautiful new “contra-flow” bicycle lanes that were just installed on Emerson Ave between Bloor & Dupont! Thank you @toronto.ca great work! #bikeTO @cycletoronto.bsky.social
