We can always use some good news. 👇

Video shared with us by a local ollower. Enjoy.

ON government steamrolling through #Bill212. Infrastructure committee didn’t get a single organization willing to delegate in favour. Government denied many the opportunity to delegate, sharply limits debates at committee and legislature.
Give feedback. Keywords: safe cycling infrastructure, people on bikes or arriving by bike.

Bill 212 - Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act, 2024 - Framework for bike lanes that require removal of a traffic lane. | Environmental Registry of Ontario
The framework would enable provincial approval for new bike lanes on municipal roads requiring removal of a traffic lane and for existing ones, where a traffic lane was removed; it also provides for the removal of the bike lanes on Bloor St., Yonge St., and University Ave. in the City of Toronto and to return them to a lane of traffic.
Duck Marshall 🚲What is it about the rain that turns ordinary drivers into blinkered maniacs?
I can #cycle without any incident for WEEKS but, as soon as it starts raining, I get close pass after close pass. I had FOUR in the 10 minutes of riding to the pharmacy and back.
ATTENTION DRIVERS! You are in a giant steel overcoat, you do not need to rush to somewhere dry. Take your time, wait to pass safely, there's no need to take unnecessary risks because of a bit of wetness.
So called #TeamOttawa has millions for people in cars. The City boasts about its plans for #ActiveTransportation. But at the rate it’s going, it’ll take forever to make it safe for people 🚶🚲 🛴
Meanwhile councillors get a pittance on traffic calming. 👇
Think the City is not giving people choices in how they get around? That the safety of people outside of cars is an afterthought?
