Urbanist from Toronto who enjoys cities and craves better planned communities.
Windfields, Oshawa, ON. What any new suburb should look like. Still pretty car centric, but at least has a multi-use trail, sidewalk oriented development, and amazing streetscape. No where near perfect, but a nice way to make suburbia not soulless.

Love my own bike and will be using it more as the weather gets nicer, but Bike Share (Toronto) is a little too good at times!

Montreal might as well be another planet to Toronto. 😔
Montreal will continue the largest pedestrian street program in North America, committing $12mil to 9 pedestrian streets over 3-years.

All the proof you need that cycling is absolutely doable in the winter. This is in the Toronto suburbs (VMC, a development TOD area, still fairly car centric).

The City of Toronto and the TTC get the very basic fundamentals of transit right, but do one heck of a job at making sure user experience is the last priority.

Ontario is absolutely fucked!
A sad day for cyclists in Toronto, Ottawa, and across Ontario. Third Reading of Doug Ford's anti bike lane Bill 212 passed 66 to 27. We must keep fighting including organizing to #VoteFordOut when the election comes! #shame #BikeTO #ottbike #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero
