Bikes don't have airbags - we need safer roads!

Police data shows that since 2014, 26 people riding bikes have been killed & 376 were seriously injured in #TOPoli. This map shows:

1. Injuries sustained
2. Crash circumstances
3. Crash heat map
4. Where people died

#DraperStreet is the 🥰 newest old street in Toronto that nobody knows about (yet). The street was just redone with world class European-style bricks.

Located right next to #TheWell it's only 150m long, bordered by detached heritage homes - like a secret gem hidden in the ❤️ of downtown!

I'm fundraising for the "BIG Toronto Bike Ride 2025" in support of @cycletoronto.bsky.social & thier mission to build a safer city for people who ride bikes. I believe crashes like mine should not happen to anyone else! Please give what you can here: www.canadahelps.org/en/charities... #bikeTO

🚨A Safer #KingstonRoad 🚨 is overdue so the City is planning to install 6km of new protected cycle tracks. All existing vehicle lanes will remain so #Bill212 does not apply!

Website has been updated with new details for consultation in October... toronto.ca/community-peop…#biketoto

Saw this lovely greenway traffic diverter in #bikeTO and was reminded it's featured in the "Neighborhood Greenways Guide" check it out here: www.toronto.ca/wp-content/u...

🕵️ I went to the infamous #ParksideDrive 7X crime scene: there are numerous poles facing the speed camera where surveillance 📸 could be mounted - I know there was a deer cam in the woods before - but we need an actual camera, properly mounted in plain sight *with*barbed*wire* around it. #toPoli

There are some “creative” designs on the new #bollards at #UnionStation.

Let's get @StART_Toronto to hire #localartists to come paint these boring yellow #bollards instead off paying for constant #graffiti removal?!

PS Just like the bike barriers - credit too @kayehm.bsky.social for photos :)

I saw this #timber framed modular building on Royal York. Very cool and hope to see more! Anyone know the details of the cost/benefits of this design?

Looks like someone (or a lot of people) peed in it... it's not usually that colour! 🤮

Great list - basically all my old friends from Twitter with a few new faces too. Glad I'm on the blue sky world now - though it's still interesting to see how some posts tend in one vs the other (there are still some good discussions on X, so I have FOMO leaving it full hog, despite its owner)

The ‘Three Year Implementation Plan’ is complemented by the ‘Major City-Wide Cycling Network’. Building on the existing network, these new routes will completely transform our City into a safer, more inclusive & less congested city.

Who’s in favour #TOPoli?

Now it’s 🚲🚀 GO time #TOPoli let’s use this momentum & community support to build more #BikeTO bikeways to keep people safe & reduce congestion!

The City has a strong 3-year plan, backed by extensive DATA & #VisionZero

It’s time for less talk & more ACTION!
