Every candidate for Toronto's 2026 municipal election must watch this new @[email protected] video on the benefits of pedestrian streets! Especially as the Church Street pilot is expected to wrap up on August 21 and there are calls for a pedestrian streets program next year! #WalkTO #TOpoli

Meanwhile, Toronto hasn't held #OpenStreetsTO - their equivalent to NYC's Summer Streets - since 2022. If Toronto were to bring it back, it needs to be every Sunday from May to September. Not just two Sundays a year as what happened in past years. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli

One shortcoming of the Church Street Pedestrianization Pilot is high security costs. My latest blog post makes the case for why candidates for this October's election must not only support pedestrian streets, but also call out security costs. #WalkTO #TOpoli www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/08/call...

Next Wednesday's IEC meeting has an update on connecting the Loop Trail with The Meadoway. Long story short, the East Don Trail will officially open this summer while the Bermondsey to Eglinton gap is expected to be done by the end of 2027. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

Thanks Ben Cohen from @[email protected] for speaking with me recently about pedestrian streets, as well as the need to secure political support and funding for such programs (and open streets), as well as the need to address high policing costs. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/wil...

Interesting @[email protected] column by Rosie DiManno about pedestrianizing Yonge Street. As with today under Cadillac Fairview ownership, the Eaton Centre was one of the biggest opponents to pedestrianization when it was last done in the 1970's. #WalkTO #BikeTO #TOpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/star...

While I doubt Doug Ford would listen, Beth Kaplan's column in @[email protected] makes a good point on the need for Ontario to learn from Paris about tackling gridlock.

Happy Easter! Given there will be a consultation for yongeTOmorrow on Tuesday April 21, I wrote a blog post explaining what happened since the project was approved by City Council in 2021.

Great analysis by @[email protected] on Doug Ford's transportation policies. Says "Every incremental car we add to the road makes the experience of driving worse for everyone. Traffic gets worse & gasoline prices get higher as more consumers chase a scarce good." #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli

Who does Doug Ford think he is; claiming he could get speed cameras installed "within months" and that Toronto city council was "the most dysfunctional political arena in the entire country"? He's the one who's causing the disfunction & dangerous streets! #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero
