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.

Don’t forget, if you design a city for cars, it fails for everyone including drivers.
If you design a multi-modal city that makes walking, biking & public transit attractive options, it works better for everyone including drivers.
INCLUDING DRIVERS.
The “war on cars” is a lie.

A Toronto, la municipalité veut supprimer des pistes cyclables
Devinez qui s'oppose à cette suppression ?
➡️Les commerçants !
"Mon chiffre d'affaire a augmenté de 20%"
"Les cyclistes qui passent sont plus nombreux à s'arrêter que les automobilistes"

Cyclists, be visible* on the roads. Front and rear lights, fluorescent vest, reflectors, ...
And don't forget your helmet.
*be careful to avoid the mistakes of motorists, who do not look at the road and will kill you without realising it.

“Montreal's bike-lane network has doubled in 10 years. Is it a success? Depends on who you ask.”
Well, you could do more than just pit folks who are angry vs bike advocates. You could share the clear evidence safe bike infrastructure makes cities better.

'We need to challenge the unquestioned status of the car and the violence that it generates. It threatens kids rights to independently roam public spaces. This directly threatens their long-term health & wellbeing.'

Warsaw is the latest European city to reach a new low in crash deaths.
Vision Zero consistently works in Europe, but not in the US. Key reason: American officials resist doing the hard work of redesigning streets and slowing down cars.

One day we will realize the absurdity of prioritising speed of cars over the safety of our children.

8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.

This week (Sept.30 - Oct.6) marks the start of the #WeekWithoutDriving challenge, which asks us to get to school, work, & other daily destinations by walking, biking, or using mass transit. It's a great initiative that aims to have us question how driving impacts our day-to-day.
