Want an alternative to a Hwy 401 tunnel? How about reliable GO bus service, writes @JohnLorinc. Highway 401 needs Bus Rapid Transit lanes and BRT-grade service sufficient to persuade drivers to leave their cars behind.

Toronto’s youth deserve more than just a place to be, argues @LanrickBennett - they need "third spaces" where they can shape their own sociability and recreation. The City can help create those spaces. https://t.co/8wDvRWUHAc

It's time for Toronto to follow the lead of other Canadian cities and have a focused strategy for open streets, says @LanrickBennett https://t.co/BH7OlF0BO2

[Cycle Toronto @CycleToronto]

This morning, Cycle Toronto launched a Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Section 7 challenge to the provincial government’s Bill 212.

The lawsuit also seeks an immediate injunction to prevent the removal of target bike lanes on Bloor, University, and Yonge.

"The proposed legislative changes will not reduce congestion, will increase risk to public safety, and move away from evidence-based practices. It is also counter to
the 2024 Provincial Planning Statement, which includes several policies that support the use of bike lanes."

[Anthony Smith @SafeStreetsTO]

We know that #bikelanes save lives, but can good data help save #bikelanes?

#Bill212 may allow the Province to remove existing infrastructure, so help protect people who ride bikes & read key info from @CycleToronto here: https://t.co/T7rX62IOig

[Chris Kemp (cbkemp.bsky.social) @mindoverdata]

The fact that the 401, 400, DVP, QEW, Gardiner (and many more) are regularly a bump-to-bumper standstill, and that none of them have bike lanes, should make it clear that bike lanes and bicycles are not the problem.

The Ontario Government cut 850 trees down on West Island last week, but they didn’t act alone. Meet the Ontario Place Tree Topplers, starting with @ThermeGroup @ThermeCanada, who want to put our trees in a tree museum, then charge you hundreds of bucks to see em!🧵#topoli #onpoli

Seven years ago, my design team supported Cycle Toronto with a brand refresh.🚲 All these years later, I'm proud to see them speaking with such clarity on issues such as #BikeLanes. Indeed, a vibrant voice advocating for safe streets and a healthy city. Join their call-to-action:

[Cycle Toronto @CycleToronto]

This is where you come in. Help us tell the provincial government to stay in their own lane by signing our petition calling for cycling infrastructure to remain a municipal matter.

And Canada.

[YEG City Planning + Development @PlanEdmonton]

One year ago today, Edmonton City Council voted to adopt a new Zoning Bylaw. While the new bylaw didn’t take effect until January 1, 2024, this vote by Council was the culmination of 5 years of dedicated work. 🎉(1/5)

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

NEW: “Do bike lanes really cause more traffic congestion? Here's what the research says. Studies from around the world show bike lanes ease congestion, reduce emissions & are a boon to businesses.”

And removing them would cost a lot & make traffic worse.
