Bank Street clearly isn't working as it's designed right now. On-street parking leads to traffic congestion, louder streets, less safety, buses being stuck, and many more issues. A simple change that the city isn't looking at would make all of this better. https://t.co/GAisJ6C7l1
@iey0beeW I know you seem way too far down this rabbit hole to ever save yourself, but just in case you aren't, I'd like you to consider that you seriously seem to think wanting to keep our streets safe by use of speed cameras as "evil".
If anyone here needs introspection, it's yourself.
@iey0beeW@KMLOnt@ColinDMello It seems like you might not understand what probabilities means. As you drive faster the probability that you make a mistake that ends up in an injury or death goes up :) Hope that helps!
@KMLOnt@ColinDMello Nobody is endangered by speeding? How many road deaths and injuries do you think we have every year Keegan? Hint it's tens of thousands!
Lol what an absolute joke of a "solution".
We're making law-abiding taxpayers subsidize criminals who break our laws now?
I thought he was all for being tough on crime?
Is it not crime if the laws are ones you disagree with @fordnation ?
@_MarkSutcliffe My bus is so unreliable I have to resort to using a personal vehicle that costs me much more than any tax increase that you could put on me and others in this city. Have you thought about making the services you provide good so that people can save money?
@Dustin_Carey@_MarkSutcliffe Oh just to be clear I'm unequivocally 1000% in support of speed cameras! I have been fighting for their support ever since they've been put in! I completely agree they're good for the short term. There's also other types of traffic calming that can be added in the short term!
@tanktotriumph @_MarkSutcliffe Did you just respond to me with a google AI snippit where we can't even see the prompt you gave it? Guess two can play at that game lmfao
@tanktotriumph "and the "high-end speeders" had dropped to three per cent. In just three months, overall compliance with the posted speed limit on Fisher Avenue had nearly quadrupled from a dismal 18 per cent to 65 per cent."
I know people like yourself are too lazy to ever do research

Before this camera was installed in October, 85 per cent of the vehicles passing by the school were clocked at up to 65 km/h, and one in 10 was travelling even faster. When the city measured again in late December, the 85th percentile topped out at 56 km/h
@tanktotriumph @_MarkSutcliffe Ever thought about how fewer kids will want to hang around any streets that people are speeding on? Why do you think kids spend less time outside these days lmao. This is you

“The report concludes that speeding enhances crash risk and severity and that speed cameras reduce both speeding and crash severity.”
@tanktotriumph @_MarkSutcliffe https://t.co/EdHbUmJoCE
"From 2015 to 2017, we estimate a 12% reduction in fatal and injury crashes across treated locations included in our analysis. Fatality and severe injury crashes declined by 15%."
@tanktotriumph @_MarkSutcliffe https://t.co/ewR8DvCRDr
"Overall, the ASEP was associated with a decrease of 19.7% in traffic fatalities and crashes with injuries. Significant diminutions were observed for passenger vehicles/light SUVs (− 25.4%), motorcyclists (− 39.0%), and trucks (− 15.7%)"
@tanktotriumph @_MarkSutcliffe https://t.co/53FeuzIW0x
"Reductions in outcomes across studies ranged from 5% to 69% for collisions, 12% to 65% for injuries, and 17% to 71% for deaths in the immediate vicinity of camera sites"
@tanktotriumph @_MarkSutcliffe There is plenty of data if you bothered to look. Many of the cameras have only been in place for a short period of time anyways so to claim we'd somehow have tons of data from them is ridiculous, it's not like 10 kids are dying every year on each road to begin with.
@BrownWard21 Hi Councillor Brown, you mentioned today at council that you're in support of users paying for a service when discussing transit. Do you hold this same view for users paying for our roads? Would you be in support of user fees for your residents roads?
We’re expanding the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Starting today, Canadians aged 55-64 can apply. In the coming weeks, applications will open to Canadians aged 18-54.
Because of this plan, millions of people can now afford to see a dentist — some for the first time in decades. Soon, millions more will get that same care.
