“Scooters, sidewalk chalk and laughter have replaced idling cars outside a central #Hamilton elementary school. It’s called a ‘school street,’ and it’s the city’s first.” “I like how everyone can just play.” Fewer cars, more movement. #SchoolStreets thespec.com/news/hamilton-…

Walk Toronto is sponsoring a Jane's Walk, "Urban Evolution: Exploring The Story Of Etobicoke's Forgotten Pedestrians", led by steering committee members @pamelagough and @thismomroars on Sunday May 5 at 2 pm. janeswalkfestivalto.com/5-may/urban-ev…
@TheBikingLawyer It has been about 20 years since my former graduate supervisor met the same fate on Avenue Rd. This is what happens when drivers feel they should not give up any of the 6 lanes for wider sidewalks and bicycle lanes. Essentially it reduces the options that people can safely use.
Walk Toronto is co-sponsoring, with @Yonge4All , a Jane's Walk on Saturday May 4 at 2 pm: "Why Sidewalks Matter", exploring issues around complete streets, construction safety, and other walking issues up Yonge Street. janeswalkfestivalto.com/4-may/why-side…
big ugly armour stones because the city didn't wanna bother upkeeping the round planters that served the same function but at least were moderately more interesting

Dear Toronto City Council, Since we can longer access #OntarioPlace due to the disastrous @ThermeCanada MegaSpa, please bring back #ActiveTO. Thank you.
The City has begun installing "raised intersections" in some locations, where the road rises to meet the sidewalk (better accessibility and drainage for pedestrians). Example here at High Park Blvd & Indian Rd. Very gentle slope for drivers, barely noticeable.
The crossing directly in front of my house (also between 3 schools) #visionzero @Walk_TO
In other countries, where gas taxes are high, large private vehicles are comparatively rare. Some places have also moved to reduce the appeal of SUVs and light trucks, mostly through higher-cost parking and registration. In Canada, though, such measures remain rare. Children hit…
I loathe people who block the box but the situation at Jarvis and front is pretty much that if you don’t block the box you’ll never get through. People literally go around you to block the box. One cop would fix this. One non-cop in a hi-viz vest would fix it. One camera.
Following up on this post, having not received a response from @311Toronto and copying @PaulaFletcherTO, @TrusteeSara, and @BrucePS_TDSB. This courtesy crossing was installed as a condition of approval for the adjacent apartment building (seen here). What happened to it?

@alexbozikovic @TorontoPFR Allan Gardens. City vehicles. Not the cops this time. IPhone for scale. The new washrooms in background under construction nearly 5 years.
What a shambles. Christie Pits, one of the busiest parks in Toronto. @TorontoPFR
Hey @311Toronto the same construction equipment I reported 2 weeks ago is still on the sidewalk and now there is some dumping happening. It’s busy and more people out and about. Can we get this taken care of pronto please? 📍108 Ossington Ave

Hey Toronto, one of the best things about Jane’s Walks is when people with lots of knowledge about very specific things do walks about things they are very passionate about…here’s a chance to tag some people and encourage them to do a walk! I’m tagging @RealGDT @strombo and…
Jane's Walk is coming up soon, May 3, 4, and 5! Some walks have already been posted on their website. janeswalkfestivalto.com/walks
@Walk_TO Just waiting for @TorontoPFR to post the spring Ferry schedule and I'll get my annual Toronto Islands walk up there too!
@melissasprofile @Walk_TO Apparently, there are people who just sit in their house—without a care in the world. That lax attitude towards safety must be frustrating for drivers who bear the full burden of not flying through the front window.
This project is bigger than bike lanes. This Complete Street project also includes road safety + public realm upgrades to ensure accessibility + safety for all residents, support our climate + active transportation goals, and address the evolving needs of our growing communities.
Congrats Hafeez! You have helped to make the journey to school by foot & bike much safer for the kids of Flemington Park. What a great accomplishment so early in life! @Walk_TO @OntarioAST @EcoSchoolsTDSB @880Cities @UofTCities @CycleToronto
What is now a 4 lane bridge with narrow sidewalks & no bike infrastructure, will become a whole lot better. I look forward to future kids being able to enjoy this new bridge & finally being able to bike to school safely! This is one of the first things I advocated for.

Why do we give cars so much space on Yonge Street when there are up to 4x more people than there are cars.
all of us see it with our own eyes as we walk up and down overcrowded, cramped sidewalks on yonge street, but there's data to back it up: yonge street sees *multiple times* as many people walking than cars. yet, despite so little car traffic, yonge street looks like this:
A few fantastic doorways in downtown Toronto! @Walk_TO #WalkaboutTO
As long as what happens at the level of the pedestrian is remarkable you can create a remarkable city. Too many cities obsess about their skyline and forget about the street. I can’t even remember what this building looked like but this entrance is truly memorable. #SanFrancisco
.@GraphicMatt has put together city data on mode share at intersections across the city. I’ve mapped all the intersections where pedestrians represent 50% or more of all traffic. Pedestrians typically have no more than 33% of road space. Original data: datawrapper.dwcdn.net/v5P7T/3/
Check your inbox: it’s @CityHallWatcher #270! A special FREE edition with the return of INTERSECTION INSPECTION. A quick by-request look at Yonge & St Clair and Dufferin & Liberty, plus data from more than 1,000 2023 traffic counts, summarized. toronto.cityhallwatcher.com/p/chw270
@DianneSaxe The proposed actions are an important (and big) first step. There's still more work to be done (proposed sidewalks remain too narrow Davenport to Dupont, and there are too many lanes in front of Brown school), but I'm excited for progress.
@DianneSaxe A 6 lane expressway running through a downtown neighbourhood is unsafe. We need two lanes transitioned to pedestrians usage.
@DianneSaxe Absolutely it is a obscenely dangerous blight through the centre of the midtown that acts as an expressway for some of the most exclusionary and wealthy neighborhood’s in the city
@DianneSaxe 100% - These changes will make it safer for everyone and more people will walk in the area because of it. The cycling connection south of Davenport to Bloor and Queen's Park is a necessary network connection. Let's make this happen!
@DianneSaxe Absolutely!!! I was almost killed on that street more than 40 years because of its poor design. Absolutely nothing has changed in that 40 years except more cars and trucks that are larger and heavier, moving faster. To be honest, I am surprised you need to ask.
@DianneSaxe First they got rid of the streetcars on Avenue Road. Then they narrowed the sidewalks and widened the traffic lanes. All to benefit the single-occupant autos, who do not stop at any of the shops, businesses, or services along Avenue Road.
