BIG, BREAKING NEWS for the City of Toronto! One of the world’s most respected & passionate champions for the city — for EVERY city — is running for MAYOR! I’ve known Gil for a long time and there are few people as authentic & energetic in their fight for better cities for people.

Concerned about safety on streets for all users? Want to fight climate change? Want to reduce traffic congestion? Guess what global research suggests is the answer?

Reaching the start of Bloor bike lane at Runnymede always feels like meeting an old friend, esp after cycling the perilous stretch from Kipling eastbound. Let’s finish the job of making Bloor safe for everyone! @TO_Cycling Mark Grimes Amber Morley #bikeTO

Traffic enforcement only for cyclists on a city street? Simply wrong headed.
