We’ve installed the first protected intersection in Toronto. As part of the University Avenue bike lane. It took a while, but thanks to all the great staff at @TO_Transport, we hope to soon have many more.
HAPPY - & SAFE - FRIDAY TO ALL - Thanks again to Toronto's west-end neighbourhood of Davenport for providing the backdrop for safely raising three generations of our nuclear family. Best wishes to ALL moving forward. OXO 😎✌️🌎⚖️🇨🇦
2020 saw Katherine and I morph 3+ decades of trad Hallowe'en fun into a safe - busker/performance-art, porch concert - THANKYOU to the DAVENPORT neighbourhood, and the people with whom we have joyfully shared so much of our lives. 🎤😷🇨🇦💚

PS/Thanks Allan, for your dedication to your late son, and your mission aimed at uncovering the truth regarding his slaying, and the two-tiered travesty of Canadian justice that has followed in its wake. RIP DAS 🌹
Many thanks to NOW for continuing to keeping a street-level ear to the ground in the real Toronto we downtown residents share and attempt to protect. OXO 🚴♂️🇨🇦✌️❤️

I'd prefer 30 kph (20 eventually) across the city for motor vehicles on all-access city roadways. Still the main goal remains a major shift away from default use of too-much highway-designed vehicle, in all high-traffic urban population hubs. ONWARD.🚴♂️🇨🇦✌️❤️
If speed is a primary cause of our pedestrian death crisis, lowering speed limits should not be a political calculation. Listen to the Coroner (30k residential/40 k all others) not votes.
An astounding 26% of all crashes are the result of a driver being on their phone. Is it time for police to carry a device which lets them track drivers' phone use? Lawyer & advocate @PatrickBrownLLB says yes.@BikeLawCanada https://t.co/2Ib4V4TgGA

This radical would prefer a 20/30 km/h limit. But whatever the eventual numbers, real change at street-level will still depend on barring from unfettered urban use, all oversized toxically fuelled motor vehicles that can exceed the posted limit by more than 5k. Thanks Pat et al!
Dear @cityoftoronto What is the reason (7 years) for failing to consider the Coroners Pedestrian Death Review Recommendation 15 “reducing speed limits to 30kph on residential streets” and “adopt 40 km/h on other unless otherwise posted” Speed kills on all streets.
