In a June 4 letter to advocacy group Safe Parkside, staff from Councillor Gord Perks' office confirm that the safety redesign for Parkside Drive is stalled due to new provincial rules re: bike lanes. City spent years studying how to make the road safer, but dragged their feet and now, well, whoops.
Electric bicycles have become a danger on the streets, putting pedestrians, traditional cyclists and e-bike riders themselves at risk. Better regulation is needed. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/edit... via @theglobeandmail.com
Bradford attacking Chow for "scalping" World Cup tickets is another example of him attacking a thing he voted for. The hospitality program was approved by Council in March 2025. So non-controversial at the time no one spoke on it and it passed on consent.
Draft regulations in Ontario are a step in the right direction

Earlier today, Adam Rodgers gave an excellent deputation to IEC (2 hrs 5 min in) which captured the frustration of the #BikeTO community over the lost opportunity to make Eglinton safe. @diannesaxe.bsky.social was also frustrated about the matter. #TOpoli #VisionZero www.youtube.com/live/NFmf8lP...

As usual, @graphicmatt.com nails it by arguing we shouldn't need the FIFA World Cup to fix this city! This is especially true for bike lanes given the only time we hit the approx 30 km annual target was during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
A bunch of high profile names including Margaret Atwood, David Mirvish & Haley Wickenheiser have now banded together calling on @mark-carney.bsky.social to say #NoJetsTO! Let's keep up the pressure & flood the consultation despite potential biases! #cdnpoli #TOpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/mar...
At Pearson Airport waiting to fly back home to New Brunswick for a few days. Jets like these belong at Pearson, not at Billy Bishop regardless of how much Doug Ford, the Toronto Port Authority, and JP Morgan whine. #NoJetsTO #cdnpoli #TOpoli
Anyone looking at the leading questions in the SurveyMonkey survey might think so.
