SafeParkside

Advocating for a safe Parkside Drive for all who use it.

[SafeParkside @safeparkside]

Next Wednesday's IEC meeting includes an interim report on the High Park Movement Strategy. The report shows some options for the future of Parkside Drive while the next round of public consultations is expected in June. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ParkHP https://t.co/WHLEzUS6yU

Thurs in #HighPark a motorist used his vehicle to assault & intimidate a cyclist. These common incidents lay bare the fallacy of the cyclist menace. High Park should be closed to motor vehicles @gordperks. Ticket/charge dangerous drivers @TorontoPolice not cyclists going 24km/h

Hey, @safeparkside! Did y'all see what happened in Cleveland this week? Sometimes the answer to traffic safety in our communities is to work around the local government that isn't taking your complaints seriously.

Faraz from our group saw this new sign placed at Parkside & High Park in response to when a father was struck by a driver while crossing with his two kids in December 2021. If you have to put up a sign, you failed with the design. #shame #SafeParkside #TOpoli #ParkHP #VisionZero

@safeparkside @donnelly_b A genuine commitment to improving Parkside from the local Councillor would help more than blaming other levels of government or boasting about the number of ineffective measures they have passed at City Council.

Here's a blog post from @donnelly_b about Parkside Drive & how one of the southbound bus stops on that street was placed in the middle of nowhere. Making Parkside safer cannot come soon enough. #SafeParkside #TOpoli #ParkHP #VisionZero https://t.co/90MVhuzZc8

Per @gordperks' latest e-newsletter, there will be an update on Parkside Drive at the May 25, 2022 IEC meeting including conceptual ideas for #BikeTO lane & complete street design. #TOpoli #ParkHP #SafeParkside https://t.co/dnlOHV8gr5

@safeparkside @gordperks @JohnTory Let's make it an election issue for Gord Perks. Words and nods aren't enough

@nickcapra_gpc @gordperks @JohnTory A speed camera has been installed recently. Just posted a pic of it. -RZ

[SafeParkside @safeparkside]

Melissa posted in our Facebook group today about yet another collision which happened on Parkside. It's been at least the third in as many weeks. We need a #SafeParkside for all NOW, @gordperks & @JohnTory. #shame #TOpoli #VisionZero

[SafeParkside @safeparkside]

Michelle posted in our Facebook group that a speed camera has arrived at Parkside Drive. Too bad it already looks vandalized. #SafeParkside #VisionZero #ParkHP #TOpoli CC @gordperks @BhutilaKarpoche @viraniarif

Cyclist, @TheBikingLawyer welcome Toronto police @TrafficServices cyclist collision reporting centre, and ask whether @TorontoPolice could ticket if officers don't attend the scene.

"We like the idea of bike lanes that make travel safer for the students delivering our dinner amid a COVID-19 lockdown, so long as those lanes don’t impede our ability to find parking in front of the bank."

Well said @EmmaRoseTeitel !

"Carmen Jones, who bikes to work as a nurse at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, thanked city for installing bike lanes on Yonge, University +Bloor, & told committee she hopes Toronto continues to grow cycling network" - @TamaraShephard

@TheBikingLawyer @TorontoPolice @safeparkside @gordperks This coming on the same day @CP24 reported 456 city vehicles caught speeding and 129 city vehicles caught running red lights. Shameful.

[The Biking Lawyer (Dave Shellnutt) @TheBikingLawyer]

Our friend Faraz of @safeparkside and I spoke to @Jessicangtv @CBCToronto about last weekend's car crash on #ParksideDrive and the need for radical road safety changes before we are forced to yet again mourn the death of another family...https://t.co/5giGVtEWd8

[SafeParkside @safeparkside]

Another car accident on #ParksideDrive. Lots of damage to the cars here. Parkside continues to have dangerous driving conditions. @CP24 @gordperks @CBCAlerts @CityNewsTO

[SafeParkside @safeparkside]

Another accident was on Parkside this morning. Hopefully, no one has been seriously injured. @gordperks Parkside drive is still a major problem.

[Friends and Families for Safe Streets @FFSafeStreets]

ICYMI: Last week, yet another #WalkTO struck by a driver. Parkside has 14(!!) KSI tragedies recorded, many more crashes/injuries besides. Yet NO #PoliticalWill for re-design: narrower car lanes, protected #BikeTO infra, sidewalks, raised crosswalks.#TODeadlyStreets @SafeParkside

[SafeParkside @safeparkside]

Faraz from our group was featured in this @TorontoStar article by @dugilbo who brought a radar gun to three sites including Parkside. Lane reductions, bike lanes & improved sidewalks are needed here ASAP. #BikeTO #WalkTO #SafeParkside #TOpoli https://t.co/Ew434t80i4
