With nine months until the 2026 Toronto election, I wrote a post explaining why the #BikeTO community needs to organize to #StopBradford this October, as well as a reminder that Tory's #VisionZero record is not that great either. #TOpoli www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/01/why-...

One call out I have with @isaaccallan.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy's report on last year's #BikeTO lane installations is that the bike lane totals cited from 2016 to 2025 include sharrows which don't count as infrastructure. #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

Today's report by @benspurr.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy does a decent job countering Brad Bradford's claim about bike lanes being plowed before sidewalks & roads. Also cites @bikewaysto.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy's recent Bloor bike lane clearing in Etobicoke. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.thestar.com/news/gta/doe...
Does Toronto really plow bike ...
Great to see this improvement.
Sometimes there are process issues, and sometimes bad tools. But also sometimes you simply need human resource capacity!
We spend far too much time pretending word-guessing scripts will replace humans, and not enough time on basic resilience of our systems.

Anti-Palestinian racism at the #AGO: you are antisemitic if you are vocal about Israel's genocide in #Gaza, even if you are a high-profile Jewish artist.
The only way to justify this is to refuse to see us, Palestinians, as humans.
And this is not even the first time this happens.

Heads up, #BikeTO! If you can't make it to the consultation, please complete the survey by Friday, February 13. #Etobicoke #TOpoli #VisionZero

City of Toronto is looking for input for RentSafeTO, standards for apartment buildings. https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/housing-shelter/rental-housing-rights-information/rental-housing-standards/apartment-building-standards/?WT.rd_id=%2Frentsafeto

A Finch fixer? Not a bad idea from @graphicmatt.com@bsky.brid.gy's latest column which also calls out the perils of P3 partnerships. Not just for Finch, but also the City's snow clearing contract and the recycling fiasco since Circular Materials took over. #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

“Riders don’t care about divided responsibilities; they just want good, reliable service.
Toronto council wants to encourage more transit use for a growing city, but the credibility of transit depends on systems that work.”
Review of Line 6 issues from @swanboatsteve.bsky.social
Earlier today, I sent this joint budget committee submission with Amanda O'Rourke of @880cities.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy calling on Toronto to bring back open streets with dedicated and permanent funding. You can send your comments as well to buc@toronto.ca. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis...
"If your home has a fuel-burning appliance, a fireplace or an attached garage, you must install a working CO alarm adjacent to each sleeping area and, as of January 1 2026, on every storey of the home" One nice thing about going carbon-free is not having to do extra safety work. #onpoli #TOpoli
Carbon Monoxide Alarms
A detailed discussion of the car-centric choices which led to poor design & performance for Line 6 (and soon Line 5 too), from @notjustbikes
"Doing the right thing the wrong way" as @BrentToderian puts it, will damage transit progress in Toronto. It's vital that these new lines be improved, quickly.
Last time a new webpage like this went live on the TTC website, a launch day was out in the media within I think it was two weeks, for about two weeks later. So I think we can expect some news soon.
(omfg i hope they make this launch a better result)
Another sign that the Eglinton Crosstown LRT opening is imminent. The TTC just added a new page about Line 5; meaning it's only a matter of time we start seeing ads about it in the subways and stations. #TTC #TOpoli #ONpoli www.ttc.ca/riding-the-t...
Coming Soon - Line 5 Eglinton:...
Tickets for @thewaroncars.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy LIVE went live this morning which will be held on Thursday, February 5 (7 PM) at Hot Docs Cinema. Too bad the $36 price tag is rather steep. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero boxoffice.hotdocs.ca/websales/pag...

#Toronto, this is a must watch if you're interested at all in #PublicTransit!
It details all the ways that Conservative, Regressive councillors "Compromise" transit.
Compromise ≠ Consensus.
Conservatives know that and hijack the process of achieving Consensus - raising the bar to the highest common acceptable solution - to instead achieve Compromise - lowering the bar to the lowest common denominator, a 'compromised solution'.
This has the effect of achieving their goal of discrediting the policy or project in the eyes of the public so that no more of it is invested in.
The Compromised #FinchLRT that has been constructed and limps along slower than someone can run the same distance because of thousands of small 'compromises'.
We can't inconvenience motorists! Motorists shouldn't have to pay for infrastructure they'll never use. One or two left turning motorists MUST have priority over hundreds of transit riders.
A Must Watch!!
