"I suspect that the mind, like the feet, works at about three miles an hour. If this is so, then modern life is moving faster than the speed of thought, or thoughtfulness." Rebecca Solnit on walking and the mind: themarginalian.org/2015/06/03/wan…

Introducing your enhanced sidewalk litter bins, Toronto! 👇😃 We found that a lot of waste was getting stuck in the opening of bins so these beauties feature a wider opening, stronger materials & two garbage options per bin to reduce recyclables being contaminated. Check it out!
Mayor Chow examines one of the improved street bins, 1000 of which will be trialled. Wonder if the bigger openings will lead to more dumping

The Municipality have so little belief in their capabilities, their goal of reducing injury + fatal collisions on our roads by 20% every five years is proposed to be revised to "Maintain a downward trend in the rate of fatal and serious injury collisions per 100,000 residents"

A #walkTO vignette: I gesture to a driver blocking the pedestrian crossing to move back and he's in such a hurry he half gets out and shouts "fuck off" followed by "get a car" Well I'm convinced

This year, City staff have started to open seasonal park washrooms earlier than usual. It takes crews about three weeks to open all 128 washrooms & attached water fountains.

@Walk_TO @dylan_reid @NRUpublishing Sound like a great idea & hopefully it can happen
Hey Toronto, one of the best things about Jane’s Walks is when people with lots of knowledge about very specific things do walks about things they are very passionate about…here’s a chance to tag some people and encourage them to do a walk! I’m tagging @RealGDT @strombo and…
Jane's Walk is coming up soon, May 3, 4, and 5! Some walks have already been posted on their website. janeswalkfestivalto.com/walks
@Walk_TO Just waiting for @TorontoPFR to post the spring Ferry schedule and I'll get my annual Toronto Islands walk up there too!
@melissasprofile @Walk_TO Apparently, there are people who just sit in their house—without a care in the world. That lax attitude towards safety must be frustrating for drivers who bear the full burden of not flying through the front window.
This project is bigger than bike lanes. This Complete Street project also includes road safety + public realm upgrades to ensure accessibility + safety for all residents, support our climate + active transportation goals, and address the evolving needs of our growing communities.
Congrats Hafeez! You have helped to make the journey to school by foot & bike much safer for the kids of Flemington Park. What a great accomplishment so early in life! @Walk_TO @OntarioAST @EcoSchoolsTDSB @880Cities @UofTCities @CycleToronto
What is now a 4 lane bridge with narrow sidewalks & no bike infrastructure, will become a whole lot better. I look forward to future kids being able to enjoy this new bridge & finally being able to bike to school safely! This is one of the first things I advocated for.

Why do we give cars so much space on Yonge Street when there are up to 4x more people than there are cars.
all of us see it with our own eyes as we walk up and down overcrowded, cramped sidewalks on yonge street, but there's data to back it up: yonge street sees *multiple times* as many people walking than cars. yet, despite so little car traffic, yonge street looks like this:
A few fantastic doorways in downtown Toronto! @Walk_TO #WalkaboutTO
As long as what happens at the level of the pedestrian is remarkable you can create a remarkable city. Too many cities obsess about their skyline and forget about the street. I can’t even remember what this building looked like but this entrance is truly memorable. #SanFrancisco
.@GraphicMatt has put together city data on mode share at intersections across the city. I’ve mapped all the intersections where pedestrians represent 50% or more of all traffic. Pedestrians typically have no more than 33% of road space. Original data: datawrapper.dwcdn.net/v5P7T/3/
Check your inbox: it’s @CityHallWatcher #270! A special FREE edition with the return of INTERSECTION INSPECTION. A quick by-request look at Yonge & St Clair and Dufferin & Liberty, plus data from more than 1,000 2023 traffic counts, summarized. toronto.cityhallwatcher.com/p/chw270
@DianneSaxe The proposed actions are an important (and big) first step. There's still more work to be done (proposed sidewalks remain too narrow Davenport to Dupont, and there are too many lanes in front of Brown school), but I'm excited for progress.
@DianneSaxe A 6 lane expressway running through a downtown neighbourhood is unsafe. We need two lanes transitioned to pedestrians usage.
@DianneSaxe Absolutely it is a obscenely dangerous blight through the centre of the midtown that acts as an expressway for some of the most exclusionary and wealthy neighborhood’s in the city
@DianneSaxe 100% - These changes will make it safer for everyone and more people will walk in the area because of it. The cycling connection south of Davenport to Bloor and Queen's Park is a necessary network connection. Let's make this happen!
@DianneSaxe Absolutely!!! I was almost killed on that street more than 40 years because of its poor design. Absolutely nothing has changed in that 40 years except more cars and trucks that are larger and heavier, moving faster. To be honest, I am surprised you need to ask.
@DianneSaxe First they got rid of the streetcars on Avenue Road. Then they narrowed the sidewalks and widened the traffic lanes. All to benefit the single-occupant autos, who do not stop at any of the shops, businesses, or services along Avenue Road.
@DianneSaxe Yes of course, it’s the only way forward if we are to create a livable city.
