A: The Ontario government literally making up BS to justify removing bike lanes in Toronto
B: Decades of extensive evidence supporting bike lanes and the government ITSELF admitting that removing bike lanes will get people killed and won't reduce congestion
The 41-page ruling was a complete and utter smackdown on Doug Ford's government, who had absolutely no evidence to back their claims. It's hilarious. Even a newborn child would have the intellect to rule against them.
Apparently, they even tried to move the bike lane removal law onto a DIFFERENT bill as an attempt to make this case moot 🤦
Ford's government will still appeal the case, so this technically isn't over, but they just took the biggest L in the history of L's.
Huge shoutout to Cycle Toronto for winning this case. Please please check them out and consider donating!

For those who don't know, the Dufferin and Bathurst bus routes move over 60,000 people per day combined, and adding bus lanes would make it significantly faster and more reliable.
Instead, the city caved to a few rich business owners who use AI to fake testimonials spewing false information.... I wish I was making that up.
Thankfully this "watered down" plan is still just a proposal so if you're from Toronto, submit comments here: secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2025… and email your councillor ESPECIALLY if you live in a ward along these routes.
Ive been travelling to a few east asian cities for the past few weeks (will be topics for future videos).
I am posting regular content about what I have seen on my bluesky (@flurfdesign.bsky.social) and instagram (@flurfdesign), like what the bike/transit infrastructure is like in a "small" chinese city!
if you can guess the cities below you get a fortune cookie 🥠
LMAO so this group is using fake AI generated "concerned residents" to give testimonials against some new (much needed) bus lanes in Toronto.
To be clear, I think its good to criticize projects like this even if they are inherently "good", but this absolutely destroys any credibility this group has and undermines the actual PEOPLE with legitimate concerns.
My upload schedule has been abysmal recently, as Ive been working on my graduate exhibition!
I am displaying my thesis project on transit wayfinding at OCAD University from May 7 to 11th! Its free and features amazing art/design work from hundreds of other students!
I recently wrote a 20 page essay about congestion pricing as a strategy to address climate change, and @ClimateTown just made a great video about it (hey rollie thanks for releasing this right AFTER my paper was due 🙄)
People seemed to enjoy a previous post of this type, so heres a similar comparison I posted on my instagram a while back (follow me if you haven't btw), showing the ✨glowup✨ of the university of toronto.
p.s. research for my next video is taking a while, but it should be up next weekend! (patreon gets it early of course)

POV: Toronto commits traffic suicide
For those who don't know, the Dufferin and Bathurst bus routes move over 60,000 people per day combined, and adding bus lanes would make it significantly faster and more reliable.
