I just spent like 20 minutes crawling 2 km down Yonge on a subway replacement bus. They should close the road to everything except buses and taxis when the subway is closed. Cars can just take side streets, right?

Just got a painful preview of what removing bike lanes will feel like.

The irony. The executive director of Cycle Toronto was unable to attend the media announcement of the Charter challenge. He is in the hospital after being "doored" in an unprotected bike lane on a side street- the type of bike lane promoted by Ford's Government.

You're right - our inner suburbs are underserved by transit and active transportation infrastructure. Scarborough needs priority bus lanes and bike lanes so that getting around without a car is safe and comfortable.

Actually everywhere. When North American cities add lanes, traffic doesn’t get better. The only thing that actually improves gridlock are a combination of bike lanes and better transit. We also have to build cities that aren’t reliant on cars to get around.

today would be a great day for the @safety.bsky.app account to explain to us why they’re allowing someone to repeatedly use trans women’s bluesky posts to direct harassment towards them from offsite

we really need to hear from you about this @jay.bsky.team @aaron.bsky.team
Caraballo has made her intentions clear by blocking Singal; however, the latter is evading her block to use her posts on a platform notorious for its lack of harassment safeguards. If this behaviour does not constitute harassment, per the Guidelines, please advise how it does not.

Best,

Want to know what really slows traffic down? (hint: it's not bikes or bike lanes.) Damien explains:
I'm back in this week's City Hall Watcher. I make the case that despite their claims to common sense, the premier and minister of transportation have failed to apply the most basic suburban common sense in their assessment of University, Yonge, and Bloor: traffic lights are slow.
Check your inbox: it’s City Hall Watcher #309!

Guest contributor @damienmoule.bsky.social on what REALLY causes Toronto traffic. It isn’t bike lanes.

Behind the paywall, I’ve started charting the line-by-line changes in the proposed 2025 police budget.

We suspected as much - the University Ave bike lanes are so beautifully wide! And it's easy for bikes to pull off onto the sidewalk if an ambulance is coming.
The lanes on University, which Doug likes to cite as "causing congestion for ambulances", were designed with the hospitals to be used by ambulances, specifically.
