Walkers, cyclists and wheelchair users are in peril at Toronto’s crosswalks and intersections. Congestion and driver distraction are at crisis point.

@HopperSupport PLEASE HELP ME. I have tried contacting you through the app and just get SILENCE. I need to change our flights to Toronto. Booking code YLJTGM. Our flight is coming up and we need to know if we can change it. WHERE ARE YOU????

[NearmissToronto @NearmissToronto]

@HopperSupport I must change my London-Toronto flight by 2 days. I’ve tried and tried to contact you on the App. Please respond ASAP.

It's only the first day of spring and very busy on the Martin Goodman Trail. The City has recommended against opening Lake Shore W to #ActiveTO this year. Email Council and let them know you want to #KeepActiveTO: [email protected]
Subject: IE20.12 - Bring Back and Expand ActiveTO!

@mary_ng I run a small retail shop in Toronto. My goods are fair traded with impoverished African crafters. I feel abandoned by you: my biz, izibele, opened in Sept 2020 and I’m cut out of Federal COVID assistance. WHY??

A cyclist is dead at Sylvan and Dufferin. The community has been saying for years that Dufferin St is rife with speeding. Where are the police? @JohnTory will you let these conditions continue after this unspeakable tragedy?

Sorry this is not road related. It is health related though. Please consider signing. Thanks.

Our new crossings prioritise pedestrians, as opposed to the ones we're used to which prioritise cars. These default to red for traffic & green for people. Sensors then pick up approaching vehicles triggering a countdown for the lights to change. Subtle but important changes @TfL

@BrooklynSpoke Love it!

@PieterDuToit A horrible racist remark from one young man. I’d thanked staff for letting street performers and craftspeople enter the patio space for their work and he replied: ‘we have to help them or else they’ll be breaking into cars in 2 years’. Very shocked.

@weavanheerden @Eat_Out This place has a racism problem.

@mattgallowaycbc Saw this at Christie & St. Clair on my way home tonight.😞 Near the spot where someone else was almost hit on Monday. Minutes later that day it was my husband’s turn for a close call at Vaughan & St Clair. My near miss was the next day at Bathurst & Dupont. Madness. Just madness.

There’s no doubt we’re an SUV nation. Question is: if consumers knew the harms, would they still choose to cart their families around in trucks? And: who started the arms race - automakers synthesizing desire, or consumers demanding ever huger vehicles?

Please watch this great video from denizens of Bloordale in favour of extending the Bloor bike lanes from Shaw to High Park! https://t.co/Ube04ZMNvv

@andrewellson Will add impetus to social isolation already problematic because of online socializing/addiction.

Day 3 of the new City of Toronto crossing guard program and I can watch my daughter walk to College, met and escorted across by our new local guard. Real progress. Let’s celebrate this.
