"The cyclist, a 60-year-old woman, was travelling east on McNicoll Ave when she was hit by the driver making a left turn." Scarborough is a tough place to be a VRU. Sending loads of love. Ghost bike ride in the works @RespectTO thestar.com/news/gta/cyclist…

Tomorrow night, the #CityofTO is hosting the first of four public drop-in sessions to receive feedback on planned bikeways between 2025-2027. Visit toronto.ca/cyclingnetwork/in… to learn more about drop-in dates and locations, and how you can share your input online. #BikeTO

To those complaining that speed-limiting tech is an attack on their freedom:
You do realize that -- by definition -- speeding is illegal, right? People are not free to do illegal things.
Last week the National Transportation Safety Board recommended that speed-limiting technology be required on all new cars.
It’s an excellent idea. @USDOT should do it.

I really like these new road bump-outs in Harbord Village. These simple interventions manage stormwater, increase canopy cover, calm traffic and protect pedestrians. Let's replicate them across the city.

Two people died on this street after being hit by speeding drivers. Speeding drivers cost two people their lives.
Don’t speed. Don’t get a ticket. Simple.
One single Toronto speed camera has cost drivers nearly $2.3 million in tickets blogto.com/city/2023/03/one-… #Toronto

A person has never seen an avocado. You hand it to them expecting them to visualize guac dip. Not gonna happen.
You send out community surveys asking residents to give advice about transportation networks. They have no idea what's possible.
I know parking can sound like a boring topic, but crafting better parking policy is one of the most direct ways to making a city better. Hoping for big things from this work.
The City of Toronto is looking for consultants to develop a City-Wide Parking Strategy

Good morning Canada! Lots to come today.
I made it my goal the past few weeks to tell as many stories about *who* Canada's national team is ahead of their return to the World Cup. I hope readers have learned something from them. Here's a few I've enjoyed: 1/? #CanMNT

The lesson:
Some drivers inevitably hem and haw over car-free streets, but many, many residents love them, especially after experiencing them for themselves.
Politicians: Don't focus on the grumpy car owners. If you create better streets, voters will reward you.
Direct democracy leading to car-free streets 🤔
Golden Gate Park’s JFK Drive will stay car-free following the voters’ rejection of Proposition I, which had called for a return of cars to the promenade through the popular park.

During the pandemic, Toronto's parking spaces generated way more revenue as patios. An analysis estimated that customers spent $181 million in the street patio spaces compared to the $3.7 million the same spaces would have generated in parking revenue.

Real good news: standing room only at this speed limit reduction session at Canada’s biggest traffic engineer gathering. “We’ve seen great results from North American cities who reduce speed limits. Whether you just change it or calm traffic at the same time, you get results.”
