Private cars move far too few people. The average car has just 1.5 people in it (and closer to 1.1 during rush hour). The goal should be to move people efficiently, not cars. That means converting space we’ve given to cars into other uses: Wider sidewalks. Bike lanes. Bus lanes.

Unpopular take, but: Toronto traffic isn't going to get better. This project might get done or that issue sorted out, but it's still going to be slow. The days of driving fast in this city are long past

Ontario is reviving the Northlander rail service! It will go from Union Station, north past Timmons to Cochrane. The cost: $75 million. For comparison, Doug Ford wants to spend $400 million to build one parking lot at Ontario Place.

Northlander passenger train back on track after more than a decade

More than a decade after the Northlander passenger train was cancelled, the province is putting it back on track.

In Ontario, G licenses and the G1 and G2 learners permits can be used to operate cars and “small” trucks (their words, not mine) like this one up to 11,000 kgs. When I was a teen, I drove a giant (at the time) Ford Explorer because it was marketed as ‘safe’. Safe for who?

This person on the Toronto subway taking an e-scooter to another part of town takes up far less space than they would had they driven by themself in a car.

But habits die hard. And in the meantime, there are actual people and cyclists in the streets. So I encourage all street designers to force the driving version of myself to slow down through the implementation of physical constraints.

The largest number of illegal actions happens on our roads every day and it is this: ALMOST EVERY DRIVER REGULARLY SPEEDS OVER THE POSTED LIMIT. As a teenager, that was one of the first things I learned: That you could speed a certain amount with zero repercussions.

Sometimes emergency vehicles get stuck on streets where there are bike lanes. Sometimes they get stuck on streets where there are no bike lanes But EVERY time they get stuck on streets, they’re trapped behind a bunch of mostly-empty cars.

This ambulance has been stuck on 6th Avenue for 3 minutes, so reflect on that the next time you want to talk about how more car lanes and less bike lanes are better for emergency vehicles.

Gaudreau and his brother should be with us today. He should have been at his sister’s wedding yesterday. Every day, over 3000 people die from traffic violence. Theirs and Gaudreau’s stories matter. Their lives matter. We need to do so much more.

If it’s okay to block a bike lane for someone to grab a cup of coffee, then should it be okay to block a car lane?

What do you do when someone parks in a cycle lane?...🤨 ...Why, temporarily block off a vehicular lane & make it just for cyclists until the car has moved on, of course.

Increasing Toronto’s property taxes 1% gains only $42 million in additional revenue. A parking levy on non-residential parking spaces of just $1.50 per day (or just 7¢ per hour) could bring in over $420 million, equivalent to a 10% increase in property taxes.

Every one of these cars is mostly empty. The cause of traffic congestion is cars.

ZERO bikes were involved in this nightly car traffic jam on Spadina. Also tonight, 100 bikes passed me on my walk along Wellington from Bathurst to Spadina. That would have been 1 km of cars if they drove instead. Those clinging to cars, you’re welcome.

The city’s climate plan calls for transit to be free. Yet, the TTC is resuming fines. The fine for evading a $3.10 fare? $425. How much are you charged when you drive an astounding and incredibly dangerous 40km/h over speed limit? Just $280.

TTC to resume ticketing for fare evasion at the end of March | CBC News

The TTC is set to crack down on fare evaders starting late next month, a move that comes three years after after it stopped issuing tickets at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
