On the school run this morning, the crossing guard wore a reflective orange vest over top of an entirely camouflage outfit. There's a metaphor in there about the pedestrian experience in North American cities. #Toronto #TOPoli #WalkTO #walking

Last week, I had a chance to speak with former TCAT Director Nancy Smith Lea about her #BikeTO & #WalkTO advocacy spanning 30 years from ARC to Mobilizing Justice. That interview is now up on my blog. #BikeTooter #TOpoli #VisionZero http://www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2023/08/researching-active-transportation-with.html

Thanks Luis Lara Palacios & Community Bikeways for this great piece about the need to allow #BikeTO to use leading #WalkTO intervals. While I hope Caroline Mulroney allows this province-wide, Mayor Olivia Chow & Council should consider a pilot ASAP. #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero https://www.thestar.com/opinion/letters-to-the-editor/toronto-should-permit-cyclists-to-advance-with-the-pedestrian-walk-signal/article_9d266e04-16f6-5a31-b386-6c3af5e97a58.html

Disappointed that CARP's Toronto chapter has come out opposing the #HighPark motor vehicle closures (and eventual car-free plan). Those over 65 who support a car-free High Park ought to reach out to CARP ASAP. #BikeTO #BikeTooter #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero https://carptorontochapter.cmail20.com/t/r-e-tthdhyhy-bdutltkhrk-r/?fbclid=IwAR2vIPC_5Fik3tJVp5nR9NIRptna4qBTc74YY3Cm4o2OvsGp6qEocbFgF4w

Neelan - a car free #HighPark supporter - found this disgusting poster in High Park recently opposing the recent park changes. Having biked through it yesterday as part of Critical Mass, I thought those improvements made the park better. #shame #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero

Before going on vacation last week, I had a chance to speak with Jennifer Alexander about road safety & suburban organizing in #Etobicoke. A blog post about that interview is now live for your viewing pleasure. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero http://www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2023/08/suburban-organizing-with-jennifer.html

Toronto - and other North American cities - could also use some cracking down on SUV's and pickups in their cities. Hope Olivia Chow & other city councillors are taking note in order to make our streets safer for #BikeTO & #WalkTO. #TOpoli #VisionZero https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/27/france-crack-down-suv-drivers-britain-city-streets

Great piece in CBC Toronto featuring David Shellnutt & Alison Stewart on why Ontario must follow Québec's lead in allowing cyclists to proceed with the pedestrian walk signal on. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/police-issue-tickets-to-cyclists-who-want-pedestrian-signal-laws-changed-1.6910220

This recent @notjustbikes clip about Amsterdam closing their busiest road sounds like a foreshadowing of what Toronto could experience if the University Park proposal becomes a reality. #BikeTO #BikeTooter #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymcBC7MFRIk

Now that the Bloor West Complete Street Extension consultation materials have been made live, my latest blog post discusses the proposed design and offers a few ideas to make it better. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero #ParkHP #Etobicoke http://www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2023/03/bring-on-bloor-west-complete-street.html

Given the upcoming High Park Movement Strategy open house on Monday, April 3, I wrote about where things stand with the project and the latest push to make #HighPark car free. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero #ParkHP http://www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2023/03/lets-make-high-park-car-free.html

For those of you who missed last night's eglintonTOday public meeting, my latest blog post recaps where the project stands and some of the community feedback. Don't forget to submit your feedback by Tuesday, March 7. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero http://www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2023/02/more-consultations-for-eglintontoday.html

Toronto driver runs red light and makes illegal right turn into the path of a streetcar on Harbourfront #Toronto #BikeTO #WalkTO #ActivismTO #NotSafe4BikesTO

Even though there are multiple signs all over this intersection that drivers have to yield this entitled Toronto driver fails to yield and just stops short of mowing down people trying to cross the street. #Toronto #BikeTO #WalkTO #ActivismTO #NotSafe4BikesTO

Entitled Toronto driver tries to drive in the bike lane and nearly hits the cyclist ahead of me, next driver makes illegall right turn on red and other entitled Toronto drivers blocking the intersection. #Toronto #BikeTO #WalkTO #ActivismTO #NotSafe4BikesTO

Given yesterday's release of the final report for the Midtown Yonge Complete Street Pilot, my latest blog post discusses some of the highlights & personal reflections, as well as what you can do to make the pilot permanent. #BikeTO #BikeTooter #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero http://www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2023/01/here-we-go-again-on-yonge-street.html

This article from @blogto needs a new headline, but appreciate them acknowledging that the Yonge4All petition to keep the Yonge bike lanes has stronger momentum than our opponents.
