Loving Toronto Ward 9 Davenport.
One street at a time.

@EugeneTse2 @TPSOperations @TTCnotices It's something the TPS should have been using a decade ago, on ALL their cars...not just another test etc. it works and it works well. This story is confirmation of that.

Taylor Swift had to come here for this type of cleanup.

[City of Toronto 🇨🇦 @cityoftoronto]

Heads up, Toronto 🚧
City staff will be out and about tomorrow cleaning up our streets.

This Saturday, from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm, crews will tackle weeds, sidewalk trip hazards, leaf buildup, and bike lane cleaning across the city. Minor delays expected as crews get to work!

Like an old school Headmaster scolding everyone in the playground. What a child!

. @MayorOliviaChow despite your comments on @NEWSTALK1010 this morning, how exactly have you supported our injured officer or any of our members? Your social media is not enough. No visit to the hospital. No visit to the division. Unlike your colleagues at the provincial level, no call to our member asking about his wellbeing or thanking him for his service. Our phone lines and doors are always open to you. You can reach TPA President @TPACampbell anytime.

@jnyyz Windshield undamaged? TPA marketing at its worst.

It's getting harder and harder to absorb these deaths on two wheels. Brutal.

Cyclist Down
A female cyclist, cycling on McNicoll near Brimley on 2024-01-30, was left-hooked by a driver trying to turn onto Brimley. The cyclist died today of her injuries. A Ghost Bike Memorial will be planned, details to follow at a later time. https://t.co/RAbAu2eVaO

@TheBikingLawyer I've been complaining about this for years. The cop on point duty also takes advantage of this parking perk. When you see it you can't un-see it.

[The Biking Lawyer (Dave Shellnutt) @TheBikingLawyer]

The parking convenience of construction crews should not come at the expense of the safety of vulnerable road users. Say it with me.

3500-lb CAR vs PEDESTRIAN:
"We offer thoughts and prayers.
There's nothing we can do."

35-lb SCOOTER vs PEDESTRIAN:
"We're banning scooters
so this never happens again."

Hear me out: a series of elevated cycle tracks that take you through the most congested and densest part of any North American city. (Copenhagen)

First aid responders in Helsinki🇫🇮 with their first aid e-bikes, on which paramedics can reach people in need in large groups of people better than with ambulances. Naturally also in winter. Bikes are equipped with almost the same equipment as ambulances. 📷by @stadinbrankkari 🫡

NEW: Paris is set to roll out its ambitious 2024-2030 Climate Plan, with urban biking at the heart of the plan. They will officially prioritize cycling infrastructure, introducing 180km of additional cycling paths & 130k bike parking spaces by 2026. #Paris https://t.co/Lnfd9BxlFz

BREAKING: Today Amsterdam introduced 30 kmh (20 mph) maximum speed limits on most streets, citing increased road safety, reduced pollution, lower noise levels, and fewer injuries/casualties. 20-30% fewer accidents, predicts the Vice Mayor. Via @copenhenken #Amsterdam #Dutch

The Conservatives are voting against a suicide hotline.
Given the mental health crisis facing Canadians this is really dismal behaviour.
All that talk from @todddoughertyMP now just looks like bluster.

[Canada Ministry of Pedestrians @MinPedCA]

City of Toronto: "at other locations, introducing RTOR prohibitions may result in less safe conditions for people walking and cycling"
Based on what? A theory, or actual research?

Shades of The Common on Bloor Street. Loved the Dutch Door during COVID.

I am in awe every time I walk by Fellini. Less than 30 sqft of real estate and always busy.

Lol these guys parked the wrong way in a rush hour zone getting shwarma. If @TorontoPolice care so little about rules of the road it's a wonder no one else does. But like bikes and stop signs tho...that said it is good shwarma.
