Safety First: downtown intersection is now the most pedestrian and cyclist-friendly in Toronto, and drivers like it too. https://t.co/85tlQiL9f7

@carolynhparrish @AlvinTedjo @dipikadancer @MissCyclingNow The Road Safety Committee should advance this. I can't count the number of times I have almost been hit at Hurontario and Lakeshore, Dundas and Derry attempting to cross the intersection. @DaskoWard1

@carolynhparrish @AlvinTedjo @dipikadancer Did you see that Waterloo Region banning right turns on red lights at more intersections? Why not in Mississauga too. https://t.co/y8Aeiblj0C #misspoli #bikeMississauga @MissCyclingNow

@carolynhparrish @AlvinTedjo @dipikadancer @MissCyclingNow Thank you for your prompt replies.

[Jonathan Giggs @JonathanGiggs]

@carolynhparrish @AlvinTedjo @dipikadancer @MissCyclingNow There will be no data for the times pedestrians are almost hit by Mississauga motorists rolling through reds to turn right, encouraged by intersections design with wide turning radii.

If only this was possible in Mississauga. Perhaps with a refreshed Council in October, we will no longer see planned, funded cycling infrastructure projects scaled back if not removed for drivers. Tis but a dream.

License plate cameras for theft but not for speed. Cuz that’s a cash grab. #ONpoli

@abctoronto_ How stupid you can be? See below: Hospitals for Bike Lanes.

[David Rider @dmrider]

@raghu_venugopal @abctoronto_ University Ave. hospitals and their staff were a driving force in getting protected bike lanes approved. Here's full-throated support from Sinai Health back in 2020 https://t.co/qSHn09Jrzc

[Raghu Venugopal MD @raghu_venugopal]

ER doctor here. No EMS crew I have ever received a patient from has complained about a delay on University Avenue due to bike lanes nor have I ever had a patient harmed by such a delay. Fact vs fiction. @abctoronto_

@DaveKerner @Berger_BYTES Traded Rick Kehoe to Pittsburgh for Blaine Stoughton and first-round pick which became Trevor Johansen

Transportation and Works advised the Cycling Advisory Committee this eve that recently announced funding for cycling infrastructure was spent on 'a study' on pilot bike lanes in Meadowvale that have been cancelled. 🤦‍♀️

[Jonathan Giggs @JonathanGiggs]

I did have a clear view of the stage...
