On Weston the gridlock comes from squeezing past parked cars. #shouldhavegonebybike

To the two cars who stopped and put on their hazards for me today after I wiped out on my bike on St. Clair, thank you. We’re all trying to get home safely and I appreciate your help.

[Anthony Westenberg @EcoBrix]

Amazing @Yonge4All ! Also kudos to city for the inclusive and detailed consultation leading up to the ‘thoughtful’ install. Where I worked on Yonge, +70% were very in favour and only a small vocal few outliers were less pleased.

[Anthony Westenberg @EcoBrix]

Wonder who got the contract.

[Norm Di Pasquale 🇨🇦 @normsworld]

The hell they are! Ready to fight this bike lane rip out, tooth and nail! Not going to let this Premier endanger us all. #topoli #bikeTO #onpoli

@Spacing vibes.

[Dan Seljak @anotherglassbox]

The City should sell these as merch.

Free Garrison Creek

Wonder what lane he’s referring to.

NEW - Premier Ford praises Taylor Swift and the economic impact she will have on Toronto, calling her “ brilliant” but adds “She should stick with music, and let the other folks stick with what they do best” Swift recently endorsed Kamala Harris for US president.

Coming back from NL seeing small garbage trucks, this resonates. Sounds like something @tomflood1 would say.

[Strong Towns @StrongTowns]

Do we size our city for the equipment we want, or size our equipment for the city we want?

[Anthony Westenberg @EcoBrix]

92 in Toronto?! Yikes. Buried rivers heritage plaques.

[Mark Mattson @waterkeepermark]

Something Toronto has long needed to implement: public transparency at our 92 combined sewer overflows on rivers, harbour and lake. In addition to signs, real time monitoring reporting, educates public & water users of dangers regarding sewage overflows. @swimdrinkfish

[Anthony Westenberg @EcoBrix]

Proof point that biking beats gridlock all the time @BicycleMayorTO

[Anthony Westenberg @EcoBrix]

Dumping on TO esp. when looking to score in the rest of Ontario is political hay, but we all come from those towns (me, originally from ktown) and I won’t take the divisive bait. Orgs looking for healthy cities to do business in. Safe cycling mobility is indicator. We all win

Dear @fordnation,
For your consideration, taken in Manhattan today.

[Anthony Westenberg @EcoBrix]

A very cool Toronto park bench.

[Mark Mattson @waterkeepermark]

At Gord Edgar Downie Pier in Kingston, Ontario, Canada on the Great Lake Ontario - Queen’s University students from across country & local youth swim under full moon. Something to remember the rest of their life. Swimmable Cities are amazing. @swimdrinkfish

[Anthony Westenberg @EcoBrix]

Great idea! @FedLobBot and @envirodefence could help here

[Catherine McKenna @cathmckenna]

How about every time a Minister, staffer, public servant meets with a fossil fuel company or one of their lobbyists, they also meet with a young person who cares about climate. Then decide what is in 🇨🇦's best interest.

[Anthony Westenberg @EcoBrix]

Cool map… would love to see accompanying pictures.

[Anthony Westenberg @EcoBrix]

@STEPSPublicArt we’re going to need more paint.

[Dr. Robin Mazumder 🇨🇦🇧🇩🇮🇳 @RobinMazumder]

Cool study on the positive psychological effects of sidewalk murals. Local governments seeking low-hanging fruit to improve citizen well-being should ensure funding for public art and placemaking - a cost-effective urban health intervention. #neurourbanism

Over 5% in NYC. I wonder what the stat is for GTA and @407ETR

[Mark D. Levine @MarkLevineNYC]

You've seen it on the street in NYC: Dark covers over plates. Plates partly scratched out. Fake paper plates.

It's all illegal. It's making us less safe. It's cheating us out of millions in fines and tolls.

Today we are releasing a plan to fight back. 1/

[Anthony Westenberg @EcoBrix]

Can verify. Easy parking too.

Bike math is leaving 10 minutes after everyone who drives and making it to the restaurant 5 minutes earlier.
