A new study from the International School of Roads has reportedly uncovered the root cause of traffic on roads and major highways worldwide: four-wheeled vehicles known as “cars.”

Makes you realize getting around by car has never been the most efficient form of travel no matter the width of a lane or roadway.

Congestion is always a thing caused by cars themselves.

Today Doug Ford will attack Toronto's autonomy, and choice for safe streets. As well as our right to choose how we get around our city, and to do so without getting hurt or risking our own safety.

Get ready Ford. There are FAR more cyclists now compared to 2012.

Oct 13. Tom Riley Park Parking Lot. 5pm-late. Bring food, water and layers.

Be prepared to arrive earlier in case crews try to do a sneak attack removing protect lanes and infrastructure.

This fight is more than just about bike lanes.

It's about demanding municipal governments be respected, and fighting an authoritarian who believes he can do anything against a city's own wishes.

This is your Dutch moment Toronto!

Show up to show your support!

Asking for recommendations in how you might be getting around ID verification on websites and online marketplaces?

I want to be able to use my local online marketplace, but I keep getting asked to provide ID verification or my ads for second hand items dont recieve as many views as a result?

Edit: when referring to online marketplaces I was referring to second hand marketplaces like Carrot, Kijiji, Craigslist, Facebook.

The City of Brampton is enhancing public safety by installing 360-degree cameras and licence plate recognition technology at 50 traffic intersections. This innovative initiative will provide Peel Regional Police and other law enforcement agencies with critical data to investigate crimes and improve community safety.

Real-time video footage from the new cameras will be captured into a software platform which police can then access to get incident dates and times, licence plate numbers, and vehicle information like the make, model, and colour.

Brampton is the first municipality in Canada to install this type of camera and software system, according to Brown, and the city is spending $11.4 million on the initiative.

“We have a goal,” Brown said at a press conference Friday. “We want to make Brampton the worst place in the country to commit a crime. We want it to be known that if you commit a crime in Brampton, you’re going to be caught and prosecuted.”

Take a moment to write a letter to express your thoughts in how to keep Yonge Street dafe for all!

Yonge Street was once one of the most dangerous streets in Toronto. But residents let City Hall know that wasn’t good enough. Millions of dollars have been spent to improve a large part of Yonge. And it’s worked! For the last five years, it’s been safer…for everyone. Whether they are travelling by car, bike, foot, or transit.

Narrowed vehicle lanes make it harder for cars to speed. Bike lanes provide a buffer between cars and pedestrians. More places for people to cross the street with full traffic signals. Advance signals protecting pedestrians from turning vehicles. Improved timing of stop lights help car traffic to move more smoothly. 24/7 parking and loading zones keeping the car lanes clear. This could all be gone by next year!

Premier Ford wants to ignore what our elected city councillors have done for us, and remove 19km of bike lanes in the city – including on the newly improved Yonge Street. This will make Yonge less safe, and less enjoyable for everyone.

The Ford government knows this very well. That’s why they amended their legislation (Bill 212) to remove all responsibility for your safety. The amended bill specifically says they can’t be held responsible if you are injured or killed as a result of these vital safety features being removed. Remember, these are the same folks who banned speed cameras!

Premier Ford says that it’s “common sense” to return Yonge Street to its dangerous past for driver convenience. But if you walk, bike, take transit or even drive, you know this is not “common sense.” Yonge Street will be less safe for those on foot or bike, will result in more people opting to drive, and will decrease opportunities for local businesses. And when more people decide to drive – guess what? Traffic congestion increases!

You can help stop Ford’s irrational plan and keep Yonge safe for all! Let Premier Ford know that you are not on board with his plan for Yonge Street.
