Do we think there is enough off-peak ridership to justify a return to 5-min headways on L1? 1130 train getting busier and busier as it approaches the core. Standing room only now.
Transit Commission budget meeting Monday Nov 24.
Time to write your Councillor to demand better off-peak frequency.

large intersection with painted crosswalks
A crossing guard was killed by the driver of a dump truck yesterday. absolutely heartbreaking.
Look at our intersections, look how hostile these are for people/children - this is what we continue to build and defend at all costs. These aren't accidents, these are results. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Today marks the end of the Automated Speed Enforcement camera program across Ontario. For anyone concerned about the impact of speeding on the safety of vulnerable road users, and who believes in data-based decision-making, this day is filled with frustration, disappointment, and deep concern. 1/

If you're driving, speed & hit someone, you're at fault. But, that doesn't mean that government's who encourage or facilitate dangerous driving are blameless. If you're in a collision w a speeding driver where a speed camera was removed email us: info@thebikinglawyer.ca 1/2

An info graphic poster relays information from the post text.
🎃Halloween is the one night of the year when kids get to take over their neighbourhoods for a few hours of fun.
It is also the most dangerous time of year. Tragically, kids aged 4 to 8 are 10 times more likely to be killed by a driver on Halloween than any other night.
Make this Halloween a safe and fun one:
🕢Plan your trips to avoid driving residential neighbourhoods between 6-9pm
🕷️If you have to drive a residential street - go at a crawl speed
🚧Apply for a block party, close your street to drivers, open it up to kids!

that some drivers refuse to believe that speeding is a actually dangerous.)
