Tomorrow people on bikes will ride from High Park (Bloor entrance meet) at 6:30. If I were riding in this Critical Mass I would want to bring: 1) bike lights and warm clothes; 2) signs or banners letting motorists know that the disruption is Doug Ford's fault ;) #BikeTO

An admission of the significant financial and safety costs. The city regularly looks at alternative routes and puts lanes on side streets. Shaw (instead of Ossington), Palmerston (Bathurst), Brunswick (Spadina). Yonge, University and Bloor don't have equivalent options.

Among everything else that’s despicable about this, ITS A CLEAR ADMISSION THAT THEY KNOW THAT DOING THIS WILL OBVIOUSLY ENDANGER LIVES. People rode bikes on these streets before the bike-lanes (albeit fewer) & they will again after. The inevitable blood will be on Ford’s hands.

Six cyclists have already been struck and killed in 2024 on Toronto's streets—that's the most since the city started counting nearly 20 years ago A lot is at stake with the Ford government's plan to remove bike lanes 👇🏿

The Province’s move to remove bike lanes from major streets in Toronto is completely irresponsible + shortsighted. As we work to build a world-class city that can handle + sustain massive population growth + pressure in the coming years, this is a disappointing step backwards.

A rally was held at High Park to oppose the Doug Ford government's proposed plan to restrict bike lanes in Toronto, which many called an attack on cyclists. "These types of infrastructures are really meaningful to people." toronto.citynews.ca/2024/10/…

Advocates rally in Etobicoke to oppose Ford's bike lane restrictions

Premier Ford, who lives in the west end of Toronto, has complained about bike lanes installed on Bloor Street West.
