The City of Toronto is considering building 12 km of new bike lanes across the city, creating important connections in North York and Scarborough.
Send our elected officials a strong message that you support more bike lanes:

Ok #TeamCanada, Ontario needs help with getting voters out & voting Doug Ford out. #onpoli Carney has the federal election covered. If all of Canada helps to get conservative mps out of office, we'll have a better chance of keeping democracy. Ontario is the next election February 27.

3C. GIVE STREETCARS RIGHT-OF-WAY
Prioritize streetcar lanes. Time traffic lights so streetcars don’t stop every block.
Remove left turns that hold up entire lines. More people per vehicle means we should clear the path for them (duh).

Torontonians are hungry to bike more, cycle shop owners say. Will the war on bike lanes hamper a cultural shift?
Toronto’s bike shops have seen an increasing number of families in the store, while at the same time the Ontario government is moving to limit the number of bike lanes in the province.

This is good data (a very large household transportation survey). 4.3% of Toronto commuters bike to work; five wards are above 10%; the top ward (University-Rosedale) is 16%.
The parts of the city with the most infrastructure have the most cycling.
(Does not capture non-commuting trips.)

Now that Bill 212 has been passed, the 2022 TTS results have been made available.
For the record, bike share for trips between home/work by Toronto households:
Total: 4.3%
Ward 11: 16.3%
Ward 9: 15.1%
Ward 13: 10.8%
Ward 4: 10.4%

A family in Sudbury is paying $400 to build a luxury spa in downtown Toronto. That's the Cost of Doug, and it’s been the same pattern all year long. Things have got to change in this province, and fast.

"When almost nailed by a driver’s actions, pedestrians and cyclists frequently get a little happy wave of “sorry!” like it’s no big deal. That’s a microcosm of the problem in this debate: it’s life or death, but one side doesn’t see that." -Shawn Micallef
Shawn Micallef: Think there’s a ‘war on the car’? Here’s the truth behind the rhetoric in Toronto
The fight over cycling lanes and other safer-street infrastructure in our city is marred by obfuscation, scapegoating and rhetoric.

Occasional reminder not to “wave someone in” in traffic. You aren’t being “nice”, you’re being dangerous. The nicest way to drive is predictably, meaning in keeping with traffic laws.
