@breakfasttv If the City has such a huge deficit, why does it continue spending money on projects that are not critical and serve very few such as expanding bike lanes on Bloor St and limiting accessbto vehicles in High Park.
@JoshMatlow Are the disabled and seniors allowed entry by car and parking in High Park so they too can enjoy the cafe and nature trails? Serious ask. The roadway on Bloor that goes into the park was blocked last time I drove by, some time ago.

Even when @TTC opens brand new subway stations, there are serious #accessibility problems. This widely-viewed captioned video shows you this in painful detail youtu.be/za1UptZq82o #AODA #AODAfail #OnPoli
@RavenDarke @highparkaccess @gordperks Gord Perks has no regard for people with disabilities who can’t walk to the park when cars are totally banned. Even with shuttle buses, where can they be left off to board the buses. They have to be driven there in the first place and where on earth can they park. This is insane.
@gordperks Destroys high park and fails Parkside. Real winner high speed cyclists Toronto’s least favourite speed camera issued a whopping 3,502 tickets in the past month, according to organizers from traffic safety group Safe Parkside. cp24.com/news/parkside-…
@junctioneer @highparkaccess What will happen to it when all cars are banned from the park? Also, will they get rid of the parking lot beside the restaurant? Was there yesterday, hardly any parking. Trying to figure out how person with mobility issues will be able to use the park.

Councillor Jon Burnside asks Perks about additional enforcement to crack down on speeding cyclists in High Park. Perks says the strategy includes separated bike infrastructure, and dedicated morning hours for “sport cyclists.” Perks prefers those strategies to more enforcement.
Read this comment and sign the petition. High Park is now closed to us seniors who cannot walk, need to be driven as close as possible to a bench with a view to enjoy being in the open air! chng.it/WFNNBSpp via @CdnChange

Inbox: Protest today: a [man who relies] heavily on his wheelchair + public transit will be protesting the lack of accessibility at Roncesvalles Ave TTC streetcar stops by blocking the 504 King Streetcar today (Fri Oct 13th) 2:45pm at the Roncesvalles Ave & High Park Blvd stop.
Councillor Holyday is up now. “Absolute rubbish! That’s what I’ve heard today!” He doesn’t like the plan. He says this is the work of the “anti-car lobby” and the “spandex crowd” and “activists who want to create a change for the sake of a change.”
Councillor Anthony Perruzza moves to keep all roads in High Park open to cars seven days a week.
Expanding road space for bikes can end up limiting access for those who use wheelchairs — a growing dilemma for street planners and disability advocates bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @CityLab
@gordperks Why are they ripping up Queensway’s #TTC tracks at High Park again? Those were just made a year or two ago? Who pays for these redos? #RONCIES
