if this is true, will the altered bike lanes still be separated from car traffic? i can't see how there'll be enough space to do that https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-open-to-compromise-toronto-bike-lanes-1.7505724

Thanks @progresstoronto.bsky.social for starting this petition calling on City Council to protect our Charter right to protest. Something I encourage fellow #BikeTO folks to sign & spread the word given they could affect #CriticalMass & memorial rides. #TOpoli www.progresstoronto.ca/petition-pro...
Petition: Protect Our Freedom ...
Looks like the province is looking somewhat to a compromise instead of just a blanket destruction of bike lanes in Toronto.
I happen to have a Conservative MPP so I wrote them an email asking them to work with the city this time.

Ford promised bike lane removals could happen today onward in TO (Bloor W, Yonge, & Uni). That means we’ve got to be vigilant & have our eyes open. If you see construction crews amassing to remove lanes, post/tag local cycling orgs & advocates. Send pictures. Be safe & don’t interfere.
If you see bike lanes being removed, please report it to

Are Toronto Police Lying About Hate Crime Stats?
Interesting. While there has definitely been horrible hate crimes, people targeting schools or vandalizing place of worship’s, which has no place in our society.
They just can’t add up the public police numbers. And of course the police provide no breakdown.

City of Toronto emergency management office and other workers cleared unhoused people's tents from a downtown encampment using the force of multiple police officers. i hate it here
On sunny, rainy or snowy days, we’re out there talking to voters about our progressive vision! Honestly on days like today, it’s pretty great that we have lots of buildings in the riding! Signup to join us at votenorm.ca/shifts! #topoli #cdnpoli
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.

Anyone who bikes in Toronto can easily call baloney on this claim from Nunziata! Many bike lanes in Toronto weren't cleared one week after that February snowstorm stopped despite the City's website claiming they were. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli
