There is still so much work to be done and I am excited about the future of #biketo and #walkto infrastructure, but also extremely proud to have championed and supported all the work highlighted in @jasonthorne.bsky.social’s thread.
Toronto’s Cycling and Pedestrian Projects Team continues to hit it out of the park. Out for a ride today and here’s just some of the new cycling facilities that I came across. New concrete planters and permanent curbs on Harbord Street. /1

It was wonderful to #biketo to University of Toronto Scarborough today to guest lecture a complete streets course. One of the best parts was seeing the start of construction on Scarborough Golf Club Road: www.toronto.ca/community-pe...

Couldn’t be prouder visiting the Port Union complete street. In 2021, I guided the design change from bike lanes to cycle tracks. Now seeing it being built and soon, my ops team will ensure it can be used year round. A rare chance to experience the full lifecycle: design → delivery → maintenance.

I can’t believe it’s been 7+ months since switching jobs. I like viewing my new maintenance role as an effort to restore the soul/pride of our city.This weekend we're fixing these concrete and letters - small details that have been broken for years. It’s quieter work, but no less meaningful. #fixTO

Had an absolute blast leading a @janeswalk.bsky.social exploring the secret life of a 311 request! We followed the life and times of Pat the pothole with the grand finale of completing a temporary pothole repair together.

Weird because almost every email I received over the past two weeks shared that Montreal‘s sidewalks and bikeways were in better shape than Toronto‘s 🤷♀️.
The saying “there’s no bad weather, only bad clothing” isn’t entirely true.
Some times of weather can’t be fixed with clothing. They need other solutions.
