Not my photo, credit to the Toronto Sun, ironically from an article claiming bike lanes are the worst thing ever.

I recall there being a gap in the bike lane between King St and Wellington, this will be revolutionary especially cycling to Jays games!

Will have to try it out for myself.

Was biking on Bloor and saw great progress coming along for the Dufferin/Bathurst lanes. Can’t wait to get some footage when they’re operational.

The most amount of joy I get though is knowing these lanes live rent free in IntegrityTO’s head 24/7

The most predictable result ever. After Ford removed “cash grab” speed cameras, the street is more dangerous for everyone.

A redesign would fix this once and for all. Too bad Ford banned it thanks to Bill 60.

It is only a matter of time before someone gets killed. The blood will be on your hands Ford.

Remember Ford’s own gov’t docs said speed cams had an overwhelming positive impact on reducing speeding, making streets safer for everyone.

We found that out thanks to an FOI request, that is now banned under Ford too.

Installation isn’t complete yet but you can already see how much of a difference they make. Streetcar’s moving faster and is in its own lane.

Can’t wait to hear IntegrityTO moaning about them, if this is his definition of “a failed city,” then by all means I want more of it!

If Ford takes over the TTC, he will hike fares while cutting service, and collect all the fares we pay to do more corrupt crap (like his Billy Bishop takeover).

If you don't want this, show up to protest in 4 locations!

The TTC needs to remain independent from the province. We've seen how badly the province has screwed up transit (like the long expensive Crosstown delay).

Saw seniors, mobility scooters, and families that got their baseball equipment in no problem.

Also saw a couple wheelchair users still able to get in with WheelTrans or the TTC route that goes through

Enough proof the park does just fine without cars. No, it did not “destroy the city.” It’s more peaceful for everyone

There was a massive game at the diamond (3rd pic, although quality isn’t good).

But IntegrityTO and the right still say it’s “disastrous” and cars must be brought back at once (4th pic).

Which is why I emphasize for October’s election:

voting left doesn’t guarantee you’ll get a great city, but voting right does guarantee that you won’t

This is coming from someone who used to lean to the right.

Had to post since they’re more obsessed with the lanes than even me at this point.

If we get rid of the RapidTO lanes, we just go back to this, which was before the lanes. Bathurst is a parking lot, and nobody moves.

Streetcars with hundreds stuck behind single-occupant cars.

They work. And with a few modifications (like banning lefts on King), it’ll be even more amazing.

RapidTO is the only way we improve Toronto’s streetcar network, not “just one more lane”

Ontario ACORN started an email campaign to force Ford to repeal Bill 60.

While Bill 60 is about tenant rights, it's the bill that bans bike lanes that remove a traffic lane.

We need to stand in solidarity with the tenant union as this also impacts cyclists!

Send a quick email here, just takes a minute: https://acorncanada.org/take_action/repeal-bill-60-doug-fords-more-evictions-faster-act/

According to ACORN: We have until May 1st to flood their inbox and demand they REPEAL this attack!

If you want, you can add the bike lane ban to the list of issues they're raising. Just scroll down and copy/paste this after Issue 6 in the letter:

7: Making our streets more deadly for everyone

Many low-income tenants can't afford a car.

When the TTC is shut down, cycling is often the only way to get to crucial appointments, work, or errands.

With bike lanes replacing car lanes banned, it's impossible for cities to build a complete bike network, and causes unnecessary injury/death on our roads.

In the midst of an oil crisis, we must provide safe alternatives to driving that doesn't involve oil consumption, so we can better handle spiking gas prices.

Great video from OhtheUrbanity that talks more about how ridiculous Ford's speed cam ban is.

While he focused mostly on the speed cam ban, this is also relevant to the ongoing bike lane wars Ford started, and it did get a shoutout in the middle

Ford can colour in bike lanes next time he sees a bike passing his luxury SUV.

You can get the colouring book here: https://www.kristynwongtam.ca/colouring-book

After you get it, print it and mail it to Ford's office to help him relieve his Toronto obsession:

Premier of Ontario
Legislative Building
Queen's Park
Toronto ON M7A 1A1
