His action plan does include speeding up the Bike Master Plan but is short on specifics. Can we actually believe this guy after four years of slow-pedalling?
Over the past few months I have been thinking about what to do with my life now that I'm out of university (Urban geography/art double major)... I've never been overly interested in politics, but have always been fascinated by cities. At some point I realized they are the same thing, just framed differently.
When I run for mayor in 20 years (and get in because you all voted for me) I'm really going to put the fire under the councillors to finally get the harbord bike path completed.
Haha
But in all seriousness, cycling has really opened my eyes to the vast inequalities we face when trying to access public space. I'd dedicate my life to changing that for the better.
Is it just me or did anyone else expect this council, and the mayor particularily, to reduce the number of homeless and hungry? This is an issue more important than cycling yet there has been no real change.
ya right sure the pricks gave them selfs a nice raise and pissed away a MILLION dollars on the Queens Quay bike thing , that money could have housed and fed alot of people and the island bridge is still going up ,, Shizz if you get to be mayor I'll be near the grassy nole waiting :-)
Heck, speaking of Queen's Quay and how to spend a million, doing 8kms of Bloor St. bike lane and the first part of taketheTooker would cost a mere $200,000 using city figures of $25,000 a km. "interesting idea" says the mayor - climate carisis be damned, full speed ahead on the Torontic best done with a $125,000,000 a km road to really ensure we sink fast.
Our beloved transit Mayor
