Yeah, over the past 50 years probably magnitudes more have been displaced by turning Old Toronto multiplexes into single family homes.

They do change Wellesley to Welleslay

Bill 60, which is about to be passed bans bike lanes that remove a vehicle lane outright. The part of the bill that bans these new lanes is not being challenged in court, just the removals. Either way, this can all be undone by whatever government ousts Ford.

Commercial uses on major streets will be city-wide, all designations here (minus some carveouts): toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis... and here are more community street examples (+ all other Old Toronto/East York wards). Stores/cafes also permitted on neighbourhood streets that abut parks/schools.

Commercial uses such as retail, restaurants, coffee shops, barbers, doctors' offices, gyms, and artist studios will now be allowed on residential parcels on "major streets" (example, 1st image). Corner stores and cafes will be allowed on corner lots abutting community streets (example, 2nd image).

Also, do you think #2 can be prioritized by council since it is not in conflict with Bill 212 or Bill 60? Contraflows on streets that are one-way, everywhere! The current “west parkdale connection” doesn’t give much hope considering it never feels safe baking against traffic on those streets.

These are your two changes, but cyclists by and large already do them. Yes, they would help legally. Do you think they would have any meaningful difference in safety of cyclists or mode share transition?

“Folks” is overstating it, I think it’s just one guy?

Check it out at observingthecity.ca [The data is an estimate (NOT OFFICIAL) and calculated by @mike.raccoon.bike for bikeraccoon api, it has found to under-count actual trips by about 2%]

Follow me so I can ask/show you something!

Is there going to be bollards in this first picture? I see them on North side and to east and west, but no pink markings here.

A pox on your cycling infrastructure.

The city data is missing numbers from March to August. Any info on this @kayehm.bsky.social?
