Obviously not everything is won. They might find another consulting firms that is less shameful. And #CycleToronto encourage us to email them so that they don't deliver the 1.5KM of scope they decided to keep.

But we are slowing the project, potentially saving lives and hopefully leaving more time for the courts to fight it.

It does set a precedent for other firms. Taking contract from the government doesn't mean it's ethical and you can get a PR nightmare out of it.

Well that is interesting.

There was a public shaming campaign against #Stantec engineering firm because of their contract with the Ontario government to destroy our bike lanes in Toronto. There was protests at their office downtown Toronto + an email campaign by #CycleToronto

I personally sent 2 emails to their Media person, Colin Nekolaichuk

Well within Cycle Toronto newsletter, we learn that they gave up on the majority of the project (!!) and will only deliver a small part

This is a promising course of action and it's why I donate to #CycleToronto:

#bikeLanes don't inhibit car congestion - they alleviate car congestion by giving people alternative modes of transportation.

#Ontario needs more bike lanes to support safe #cycling across the province.
