FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: ARTISTS TAKE BIKE LANE PROTEST ART TO THE STREETS Massive scale projected billboard messages call for support in keeping Toronto's bike lanes intact on the eve of the Provincial Parliament's return to legislature.

The Ford government's removal of the first 1km of bike lane on Bloor Street West, the first on the chopping block in their plan to dismantle 19km of Toronto's safe street infrastructure, has inspired wide-spread street art actions in response.

From posters calling out Premier Ford and Transportation Minister Sarkaria's decision to remove bike lanes as paramount to 'premeditated murder,' to a 15ft shrine made of red painted 'blood bicycles' honouring the 32 lives lost to road violence on Bloor, Yonge, and University Streets….

I'm curious if the City of @berkeleyca.gov or the School District has ever done a traffic study of parents driving their kids to school. I wonder how much of the rush hours consist of school traffic, and what can be done to reduce it.

More Kids Biking = Fewer drivers. New work with @wearehub.bsky.social as part of the Streets For Tomorrow, Today! campaign.

Add to cart: 1 This intersection paint job. 1 This traffic signal priority scheme. And oh what the hell, 1 That building.

And the freaking greatest thing I have ever seen: this intersection has a traffic signal that is set by DEFAULT for pedestrians and cyclists, cars have to activate to cross. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Absolutely incredible bike tour of Sydney from Sara Stace. If you don’t know her she is a force for change. While I sit around complaining she is out there changing things from the inside that leads to real change on the ground.

thinking about renting a car and driving around to rinks and basketball courts with the kids to just get a bit more comfortable out here in Sydney

I did want to say how much of an honour it was to deliver a keynote at the 20th Anniversary of The Safe Routes To School National Conference - as some know taking my kids to school on their bikes is what changed my entire direction.

Having a few days to reflect on the event really makes me grateful to all the people doing the hard work every day trying to make things better for our kids - was amazing to see so many dedicated people - all who do so much more and work way harder than me. hats off.

lots more to come. here was the first one bsky.app/profile/tomf...

LOVE DRIVING 🥰 Some recent work done with @wearehub.bsky.social Prioritizing safe routes for kids to walk, bike, roll saves parents and caregivers time, reduces traffic congestion, improves children’s health, and reduces serious transportation injuries.

Always powerful to see the Sacrifices shirt - especially on such awesome people.
