Yesterday's sentence of 4 years made for a very difficult and traumatic day for family and friends of victims of the horrific Boxing Day 2021 crash that killed an 18-year-old and severely injured others. thestar.com/news/gta/not-a…

Nothing against wealthy homeowner groups, but why do they so often lead the opposition to road safety improvements for the rest of us, including on 6-lane Avenue Rd (left). Their traffic-calmed one-lane/one-way road on the right. Dianne Saxe - Toronto City Council Ward 11, UR Josh Matlow

“Everyone deserves to come home safe. This man won’t be coming home.”
A ghost bike will be chained near the intersection of the incident as a memorial site.

It was an honour to ride with #BikeTO today, and heartbreaking to grieve with the family members of Bill Petropoulos. It is heartbreaking to witness the agony of a family in the aftermath of senseless #RoadViolence . Thanks to ARC, you never ride alone. #TODeadlyStreets

At Warden Hilltop Community Centre, there were some speeches from Jonathan of TorontoEastCyclists, Marvin Macaraig of Scarborough Cycles, and ElIa Wind of Danforth Avenue and Kingston Road For All. #BikeTO #ScarbTO #TOpoli #VisionZero #YouNeverRideAlone (3/5)

Today we rode for a fallen cyclist in Scarborough. Thanks ARC, TorontoEastCyclists, Marvin Macaraig et al, for getting us there and holding the family close. Devastating. #youneverridealone

The elected official who was hosting this meeting did absolutely nothing to end this man’s call and normalization of violence. Gutless. #TOpoli #BikeTO

'These aren't accidents. An accident is a bolt of lightning hitting a tree: we don't know that's going to happen. We know (cyclist deaths) will happen and where.' Marvin Macaraig

Last night’s Etobicoke Centre cycling consultation was to “provide information and gather feedback” on the ward's cycling projects.

It immediately devolved into chaos. Endless heckling, climate conspiracies - even a suggestion that 'the truckers' be called about all of this.

Informative recap of the Stephen Holyday Cycling Plan Consultation from jnyyz 🚲 :

'after a meeting like this, I despair for the future of the human race.'

#YouNeverRideAlone by ARC. We'll be there Sunday. Details on the Ghost Bike Memorial Ride here: fb.me/e/1GUswCccu

Walked by this shortly afterwards. This is the second person to be killed riding a bike in Scarborough this month. Our neighbours are being killed trying to get home on roads designed to be the deadliest in the city. Preventable carnage. Rest in peace. #BikeTO #WalkTO #VisionZero
