  1. Accessible Places In #Toronto’s Great Outdoors

    by Tatiana Furtado, June 2, 2021

    "Summer days are here and so are the endless possibilities of outdoor activities! Planning a fun day outdoors is exciting and it’s important that everyone is included. From the city’s hidden gems, to the mainstream parks and paths, we’ve listed accessible places in Toronto for you to explore!

    #HumberRiver Recreation Trail

    The Humber River trail is a break from the hectic city noise. The surrounding greenery makes it soothing, quiet and enjoyable! The trail follows alongside the Humber River and is 8.2 KM in distance. Its paved concrete surface makes it 100% accessible for people using #wheelchair / #MobilityEquipment or #strollers! There’s a designated walking path for pedestrians so bikers can enjoy their time too. The most #accessible part of the trail is the first kilometre and there are plenty of benches along the trail for anyone in need. This trail is pet friendly too, so bring your dog along with you next time!

    Note: Also check out West Humber River Recreation Trail for a longer trail of 19 km!

    #ChristiePitsPark

    At 750 Bloor Street West, Christie Pits Parks is a beautiful place for all outdoor activities. The park has baseball fields, basketball and volleyball courts, a playground and a beautiful community garden! There are benches located at the centre of the garden that allow you to take in all the beautiful flowers!

    Sidewalks, concrete pavement and well-kept grass makes this space accessible to anyone in the community. This is a great place to plan yourself a picnic, while enjoying the summer sun! You can even catch people walking the tight rope!

    Street parking is available around the outskirts of the park.

    #TrinityBellwoods Park

    You can never get tired of Trinity Bellwoods because its such a great place to be when the weather is nice! Trinity Bellwoods park is such a welcoming environment and accessible to anyone in the city! You can always find a bunch of people enjoying their time and letting loose here. It’s also close to so many delicious food spots! The paved trails make it a safe, accessible environment and public washroom are also available. There’s endless activities to do here, so get ready if you want to have some fun! Definitely one of the most accessible places in Toronto for a day outdoors.

    If you find yourself here sometime soon, check out King Slice at 1130 Queen St W. This is possibility the best and biggest pizza in the city!

    #NorthernRavines And Gardens Trail

    The Northern Ravines and Gardens Trail runs 5.5 KM in distance. Its a walking and hiking only trail fully surrounded in nature! This is the perfect trail for people using wheelchair/mobility equipment since they don’t have to worry about getting in the way of any bikers. A good place to start the trail is at #LawrenceSubwayStation and it will lead you through #LawrencePark, #Chatsworth, #Blythwood and #SherwoodPark ravines! This is a beautiful place to spend a lovely Sunday afternoon!"

  3. Has anyone tried making a PAPR or HEPA stroller? A few people have mentioned the concept but the only source I've found is this one paper: researchsquare.com/article/rs-

    I'd love practical tips. Right now I can't go into stores with my baby because she can't mask, having the ability to wheel her inside would greatly expand what I can do while caring for my child. Also useful during wildfire smoke.

  5. More lanes does not equate to better traffic,
    especially in an urban or even suburban environment.

    In reality, people and their movements complex: streets that are flexible are more efficient than streets that prioritize straight-ahead movement over every other movement.

    Some people need to #turn left and some people need to #cross the street, and some people are #walking, and some people are #biking, and some people are in #wheelchairs, and some people have #strollers, and some people are making #deliveries

    ⭐️Having too many travel lanes makes these non-straight-through movements slower and much more dangerous.⭐️

    For example, this is why NE 65th Street in Seattle 🔸can now move 5% more vehicles after SDOT reallocated nearly 25% of the street space 🔸to create protected bike lanes and safer crosswalks.

    People can turn left now, which makes it a better street to drive on.
    👉They reduced speeding by up to 75%, reduced collisions by 63%, and eliminated serious injuries and deaths.

    💥And they did all this while moving more people in cars and dramatically more people biking, walking and rolling. 💥

    This is not a “last resort” solution, it’s a common sense solution that is backed by data rather than feelings.

  9. #Toronto '#Bikelanes & sidewalks still have a tendency to become makeshift #parking spaces for entitled #drivers. Bollards & other dividers separating #bike lanes from the #street regularly disappear. In too many places, the #curbs still haven’t been properly cut to create smooth ramps for people using #wheelchairs or pushing #strollers.

    And #driver behaviour is atrocious, with almost no regular enforcement.'
