Friendly reminder... If you want your dog park improved, this survey is the most important thing you can do right now. It's so important to demonstrate the need with data. Please RT and take the survey now.

The day it was proposed that parking spots would be removed + a new cycling station would be built in the parking lot of city hall, below Nathan Philips Square, there was a brouhaha in the chamber about lost parking revenue. Now, it's an award winning design and a point of pride.

Toronto's annual cycling budget: $16 million

Budget to repair a piece of the Gardiner Expressway: $3 ~billion~

But sure, tell me again about how "the bicycult enjoys whopping disproportionate flex as a lobby group."

[Friends and Families for Safe Streets @FFSafeStreets]

Hey @NACTO #NACTO19. Before you fawn over Toronto's leadership, we have seen MANY pedestrians preventably killed in recent weeks. This woman, killed yesterday, might have been someone's mom. https://t.co/SBGWK8pBaR
This one, Friday, someone's grandpa? https://t.co/FxGiYEfN3y

@amytoronto @CycleToronto @JohnTory @m_layton Oh no! We wish him a speedy recovery.

[Charlotte Tan Lange @CharTanLange]

@Coba_ruth @CycleToronto Also this! Which is an example of a bike lane that’s not even by the road and provides great convenience for cyclists!

[Cycle Toronto @CycleToronto]

This is why we need protected bike lanes - not paint. Paint does not prevent collisions. (Thread) #BikeTO

[Gil Meslin @g_meslin]

I began riding the TTC alone daily in grade 4.

This was the early ‘80s. One big difference vs today? Car front ends.

When I was in grade 4, the biggest family vehicles - station wagons - had low hoods. Today, my kids (7 & 10) are barely visible over the hoods of many cars.

[Li Koo @LiKoo_TO]

Ok parents - good luck with registration! @cityoftoronto

[Pink Helmet TO @PinkHelmetTO]

The Danforth has the most people on bikes for a street that has no protected bike lane. Why has it taken so long to get a bike lane on Danforth ? @PaulaFletcherTO and @BradMBradford, Let's get this done ! How many more people need to be injured or killed ? #biketo #walkto

[Sarah Elton PhD @SarahAElton]

This has perplexed me for yrs. @PaulaFletcherTO can you please answer why there's a 40 km lmt in front of elementary school? Cars gun it through the so-called safety zone to catch the green light at Danforth. Another dangerous intersection for kids=Pape and Riverdale. Must change

[Paul Ainslie @cllrainslie]

I put forward a motion at General Government Committee and it passed to stop issuing biz licenses to payday loan businesses in Toronto! Goes to City Council next!😎😎😎 #TOPoli #PayDay

[John Tory @JohnTory]

Today is Overdose Awareness Day in the City of Toronto. Drug overdoses claimed the lives of 294 Toronto residents in 2018 and we are committed to addressing this emergency through the Toronto Overdose Action Plan. Read my proclamation here:

[Gil Penalosa @Penalosa_G]

Another woman murdered by a driver w car in #ZeroVision city. Media should publish photos of all killed, with notes on family life, as done with terrorist. Humanize this crisis. Jaywalking? NO one should be expected to walk a kilometer to cross a 30 mt street! Hit & run = murder!

Greenwood Outdoor Pool and Monarch Park Outdoor Pool both open Sunday, September 1 from 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm for the dogs!

[Toronto Dog Park Community @DogParksTO]

This Sunday, dogs will be allowed to swim and play in 10 Toronto pools. It's ridiculously fun, and an epic way to end the summer. Here's a silly video from last year. If it makes you smile, that's the same joy dog parks bring :) See you there! Details: https://t.co/5hSq3gmk83

[local yokel @meh_just_a_guy]

@AlexDRMather Even infrastructure designed to protect cyclists *actually* protects cars.

TO's pathological car-centricity cannot be expressed more succinctly/revoltingly than this.
