Ford promised bike lane removals could happen today onward in TO (Bloor W, Yonge, & Uni). That means we’ve got to be vigilant & have our eyes open. If you see construction crews amassing to remove lanes, post/tag local cycling orgs & advocates. Send pictures. Be safe & don’t interfere.
If you see bike lanes being removed, please report it to

Obviously not everything is won. They might find another consulting firms that is less shameful. And #CycleToronto encourage us to email them so that they don't deliver the 1.5KM of scope they decided to keep.
But we are slowing the project, potentially saving lives and hopefully leaving more time for the courts to fight it.
It does set a precedent for other firms. Taking contract from the government doesn't mean it's ethical and you can get a PR nightmare out of it.
