89% of people who travel thru Bloor W corridor are non-motorists, mainly TTC users. Today, bec subway is closed, we see more of them … on shuttle buses. Sadly, we spend most of our time debating how to accommodate motorists in single-occupant cars. #biketo
Bikeshare proves the importance of network redundancy. This is a map of trips taken from bike share stations. That large dot is showing number of rides near Jane station (terminus of fire shutdown). Also, why the Bloor West bike lanes are valuable!

Report from advocacy groups urges tighter regulations for SUVs and pickup trucks. #oversizedvehicles #roadsafety theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
You should get tax breaks for not driving, for not owning a car, for commuting by public transit. It's a total policy mindfuck that drivers get subsidies for new electric cars ostensibly for the environment but the minimal impact of non-drivers isn't recognized whatsoever.
“We’ve been sleepwalking into an arms race on our streets,” said University of Windsor law professor Chris Waters, one of the authors of the report. @globeandmail theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
New report shows dangers of super-sized SUV's and pickup trucks on roads in #Canada. You're much more likely to get killed or seriously injured if you're hit by one. #roadsafety windsorlawcities.ca/oversized-dang…

Example here at High Park Blvd & Indian Rd. Very gentle slope for drivers, barely noticeable.
@young_turks_fan There are no north / south bike bikes even close to Bathurst, so... no.
@AdamMoke When we're spending $1.2 Billion on a small stretch of the Gardiner instead of public transit, a few million for bike lanes seems just fine to me. thestar.com/news/gta/how-m…
@mindoverdata Why we need bike lanes. Parked vehicles are an obstruction during peak hours. Not a way to live life. People brag of Canada's quality of life. This isn't it. This is a failure to plan for density and being stuck in car culture robotic mess.
@mindoverdata I used to live at Bathurst and it's one of the slowest moving streets in the city & it's a shame that the Bathurst #ttc streetcar has to move crowds of people so slowly because it's stuck behind hundreds of single-occupant cars :(
@_chesco___ There are plenty of transportation options once you're downtown Toronto. TTC, GO train, bike share, Uber/Lyft, etc. A personal vehicle, more often than not, isn't needed.
@mindoverdata @RZaichkowski The on street parking on Bathurst is one of the most ridiculous street designs in the city. If it was replaced with bike lanes, it would make far more sense. Traffic would continue to move at current pace and bikes would be safe, perhaps taking even more traffic off the street.
@TRexdeej @gddub @mindoverdata bike lanes have not made traffic worse on Bloor. Drivers from outside the city trying to parallel park their massive SUVs next to a bike lane is the problem. The sensors don’t work because the curb is not the marker and they don’t know how to drive. I watch it everyday.
No bike lanes on Bathurst street and it's still bumper to bumper traffic. Bicycles and bike lanes don't cause traffic, personal vehicles *are* the traffic. #BikeTO
Artist at work: Bloor West bike lane at South Kingsway, Toronto, Canada. #biketo
Toronto needs to get serious about bus lanes and priority. When there’s a subway shutdown the road should probably be closed to non local traffic.
What a shambles. Christie Pits, one of the busiest parks in Toronto. @TorontoPFR
One of the most well used parks in the city. The state of parks maintenance in general is an absolute embarrassment.
What a shambles. Christie Pits, one of the busiest parks in Toronto. @TorontoPFR
@The_Terroirist Ya I also think that sometimes in life, people make mistakes, and there are consequences, and that's fine. I didn't top up my parking in time, the $30 stings a bit and reminds me to do it next time. The $425 would significantly put most people out, what for? who is this helping?
Got a parking ticket this week— a $30 mistake I was more than willing to be accountable for. Just forgot to tap on the streetcar, and an extremely aggressive fare inspector told me I had commited a “serious offence”, one that’s gonna cost me $425.
Actually just had the thought that it makes more sense for me to drive at this point. A mistake on the ttc is worth like 2 weeks of groceries, but in my car it’s a fine I barely notice. What an insane way to run a transit system, an absolute failure.
TTC has an ad campaign to encourage riders to tap and pay their fare with one poster claiming "tap to improve service". This is not true. Service level is based on crowding and even then can be cocked up by gaps and bunching. (1)
Fortunately, there are now good alternatives to driving alone in a car.
"Without parking, we can use our streets for things like patios, bike lanes, wider sidewalks, and more room for transit and traffic to move. That’s not to say there’s no place for parking at all, but the price of parking should account for that trade-off." thestar.com/opinion/contri…
