There are streets all over Toronto where there are four to six lanes for cars but two wheelchairs can’t pass by one another on the sidewalk.

Walk Toronto was honoured to receive the Safety Leadership Award from the Ontario Trial Lawyers Association tonight. Dylan Reid @dylanreid.bsky.social and Lee Scott accepted the award.

We're thrilled to welcome Lanrick Bennett Jr. as a new SofC Urbanist-in-Residence. During his time with us, he will grow his work on sustainable urban #mobility , asking if cycling can contribute to TO's net-zero #GHG emission targets & using urban data to make policy recommendations.

'We’ve been sleepwalking into an arms race on our streets'

New from me: a collection of advocacy groups is calling for measures to rein in the dangers posed by pick-ups and mega-SUVs

I just saw a Toronto Police Operations police car, no sirens or emergency lights activated, turn right onto Yonge Street on a red light, cutting off a pedestrian who had the right of way.

Oh yeah, this was the red light where the police car turned right onto Yonge.

👇🏼This Is an ongoing issue. When police have disdain for the laws they’re supposed to be enforcing, other 🚗 drivers follow. And here we are, in a road violence crisis.

''We've been sleepwalking into an arms race on our streets,' says prof Chris Waters...Children are 8️⃣ times more likely to die when hit by an SUV than when they are hit by a regular car.'

Police, engineers & decision-makers maintain an incredibly dangerous urban environment resulting in disproportionate harm to seniors, children & people with disabilities. Then cite the 'shared responsibility' mantra, while actually often focusing on pedestrian behaviour.

Reminder! Walk Toronto is co-sponsoring the symposium 'Oversized Danger: Report on the lethal danger of pickups and large SUVs' this Thursday at the University of Toronto, 12-3. Registration is free. eventbrite.ca/e/oversized-da…

“It’s quite terrifying for what the rest of spring or summer might yield,” Michael Longfield Cycle Toronto said. [Pleading] for road safety...can sometimes feel like screaming into an empty abyss.'

If drivers are literally incapable of avoiding this how are the rest of us supposed to survive being anywhere near a road

If I was incapable of avoiding a yellow painted fixed objective I would simply not drive
