For folks concerned about bike bus impact on traffic on Election Day.... 1.2 km at 40 km/h = 48 secs 1.2 km at 20 km/h = 1 min 38 secs Drivers please plan ahead for delays!

The protected bike lanes along Bloor Street West between Islington and Royal York are gone, but we want to ensure folks in Etobicoke-Lakeshore can safely bike to the polls on Monday. Cycle Toronto will be leading a complimentary bike bus on Election Day through this new gap in our cycling network.

"A fourth person has been arrested at a protest against the removal of bike lanes in Etobicoke.... The arrest comes as dozens of people continue to protest daily against the Ontario government's work to rip out bike lanes on a 1.2-kilometre section of Bloor Street W."

Verdi Alliance and ATS Traffic are actively dismantling the Bloor Street West protected bike lanes in Etobicoke contrary to the will of Toronto City Council. Neither of these companies is based in Toronto. Tell them to keep their workers home: cycleto.ca/stay_home

Bike lanes aren't just for bikes; they’re mobility lanes. Safe, connected infrastructure means access & independence for people of all abilities. Join @cycletoronto.bsky.social for the ACCESS FOR ALL ride on Saturday, October 31. Meet 10 AM at Christie Pits and rollout at 10:30 AM. #BikeTO #TOpoli

"Sarkaria also said secondary streets, such as King Street and College Street, would be better alternatives for the bike lanes". King Street? Secondary?? With all respect, we're seriously questioning whether the minister has seen any of these Toronto roads with his own eyes.

Notice of construction along Bloor Street West between Clissold and Royal York. Taken from Reddit user T-DogSwizle. The start of a colossal waste of $48M that will not address traffic congestion and will put people's lives at risk.

"What is certain, however, is that a vast sum of our money will be wasted, countless Torontonians will find themselves profoundly inconvenienced for extended periods, and, eventually, a cyclist will get struck by a car. But at least the congestion will be worse."

Bike lane removals near Islington on Bloor are imminent. Keep up the vigilance. Keep up the direct action. #StrengthinNumbers #CriticalMass @cycletoronto.bsky.social @jnyyz.bsky.social @lanrickbennett.bsky.social @tomflood.bsky.social

Our taxpayer dollars are being spent at an American company (in the middle of a trade war) that offers better deals to folks walking in off the street than to teachers ordering through the Ontario Ministry of Education portal. Make it make sense!!! #OntEd

maybe we deal with the most prevalent source of ambient noise in TO before we target the fun, seasonal, recreational noise youtu.be/CTV-wwszGw8?...

I don't care how long or how much, I ONLY WANT TO CHOO CHOO

The v0.1 release of Expert (the new, official #ElixirLang LSP) is now final! 🎉 The best Elixir LSP experience keeps getting better. 😎 Tremendous thanks to all the contributors, and to Jump for sponsoring @katafrakt.bsky.social to work on this full-time. 🙏 github.com/elixir-lang/...

Bit the bullet and finally decided to become a maintainer for a package in #nixpkgs. It is a simple package, but lots of development and releases to keep updating to.

I want to move my VPSs over to a #Canadian hosting company, but it seems like so much work. Does anyone have any tips on migrating the data? They're all #nixos machines so at least the configuration will be easy to copy over Also looking for recommendations on the provider!

"Road safety should not be ideological. The data is clear. The solutions are known. And the cost of inaction is not abstract — it is measured in futures erased, in love with nowhere to go, and in grief that never resolves" - Vanessa Gentile #biketo #onpoli www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

planned my first day back after parental leave to be today, hoping everyone else would also be groggy and useless. so far? so good

I have so much respect and appreciation for the city staff who are doing their absolute best in a hostile environment to deliver on cycling network expansion for Toronto.

And here in Toronto, we're worried about pickleball

Well, well, well. 👀

Went to The Veil at Crow's Theatre on Saturday, highly recommend to start the spooky season! #Toronto #Theatre www.crowstheatre.com/shows-events...
