@CTVWindsor The child was struck by a person operating a car. Words matter. Our thoughts are with the family.

[CWATS @getactiveCWATS]

The planned enhancements include a multi-use path on the south side of County Road 22, a sidewalk on the north side and separated cycle tracks to support active transportation within the corridor.

There is no maybe here. Oversized SUVs and pickups are killing pedestrians and cyclists. Where does it end?

[Community Bikeways - TCBC @BikewaysTO]

There's solid evidence abt greater lethality of pickups + large SUVs to pedestrians/cyclists ... but where's the gov't response?? Our Ontario-wide coalition presents its report & recommendations at symposium hosted by @UWCities @UofTMobilityNet Apr 18.

Tough day for us, please watch for anyone selling a Marin bike. If the deal is too good to be true, that bike may be stolen.

Thousands of dollars worth of bikes stolen from Windsor Bike Kitchen  https://t.co/GWCm7rCEmM

@LaSallePoliceON A loss for @CityWindsorON, big win for the @TownofLaSalle.

[Bike Windsor Essex @WEBikeKitchen]

The messaging from the mayor is disturbing. We collaborate and partner with other local communities - as we did with the @TownofTecumseh - just look at that fantastic multi-use trail!

[The Windsor Star @TheWindsorStar]

Weaponized advocacy?

[Bike Windsor Essex @WEBikeKitchen]

It’s unfortunate and telling that the City of Windsor has yet to realize the importance of partnering and collaborating.

[Justin @justin_sens]

8+ years later, this bike lane in LaSalle is still nicer than any of the bike lanes in the City of Windsor.

[Bike Windsor Essex @WEBikeKitchen]

We were thrilled to provide support for this wonderful project that is providing a safe space for pedestrians, cyclists and everyone on wheels. Indeed, partnering and collaborating creates wins for everybody.

[Irek Kusmierczyk @Irek_K]

Trails make our community healthy and vibrant 🚴!

Proud to partner with @TownofTecumseh @mayormcnamara and contribute $750,000 in federal funding to extend the Riverside Drive trail!

Today we came together to open the entire trail - partnership delivers!
