"The govt equally insists that the betrayal of its promise not to develop Greenblt was forced on it by the housing crisis. But that's contradicted by Housing Affordability Task Force, a govt panel that concluded 'a shortage of land isn’t the problem'"

120 yrs ago Kingston Rd was a favourite route out of TO for cyclists, but it’s a long way to get back to those days. Let’s hope it’s not too long. ⁦@BikewaysTO⁩ Mark Fernandez in the foreground. ⁦⁦@McKelvieWard25⁩ ⁦@TOeastCyclists⁩ ⁦@BellsOnKingston⁩

Emergency vehicles moving nicely along Yonge (precisely what Fire + EMS officials recently told City Hall) - despite claims by bike lane opponents. Additional improvements can be made ...by reducing car numbers

During the pandemic many of us could stay in the safety of our homes by relying on gig workers to deliver our food.

Now we show our appreciation by recognizing GIG WORKERS UNITED in their fight for the rights of workers as this year's Wayne Scott Community Service Award winner.

It's that time of year again when we recognize our many wonderful grassroots ROAD SAFETY CHAMPIONS with special awards (and a framed photo from the Martin Reis Collection).

Watch for our presentations this week and next at locations around TO.

"The next major step should be to look at a long north-south corridor that can do a similar job. Bringing bike lanes, enhanced public spaces and larger patios to a main drag like Yonge Street is a tantalizing prospect," says @graphicmatt https://t.co/Egx82wFv0u via @torontostar

#ActiveTO6IX is what we're all about.

Essential workers deserve a safe alternative to at-peak congestion on TTC bus & subway routes. In a complete streets context that means north-south bikeways to connect the suburbs to the new spine cycling route, Bloor-Danforth.

We’re liking the #BikeTO cycle track + #CafeTO patio combination that the city has built for #DestinationDanforth
