Recap from Last Week’s Eglinton-Allen Virtual Meeting

On Monday, March 23, more than 250 people took part in a virtual meeting regarding the Eglinton-Allen Intersection Study. While the meeting only briefly covered the eglintonTOday project which many cyclists are interested in, it thoroughly explained some of the interim measures taken to divert traffic away from nearby residential streets, as well as the intersection redesign process. Given the next Infrastructure and Environment Committee meeting is scheduled for April 7, 2026 which will debate that intersection, let’s recap what happened from that meeting and where we go from here.

March 2026 eglintonTOday Update (and Call to Action)

On Sunday evening, a cyclist was seriously injured at Eglinton & Oakwood. Something which prompted renewed calls asking when will the long promised eglintonTOday Complete Street from Keele to Mt. Pleasant be installed? Especially given the Eglinton Crosstown LRT opened last month. Given this unfortunate development, it’s time to put the spotlight back on Eglinton to find out where things stand and issue a call to action.

What will it take to Stop Doug Ford?

For those of you who have been reading my blog for a while, you would have noticed I am fiercely opposed to Doug Ford. Especially when his government went after bike lanes in Fall 2024 with Bill 212. Ever since he won his third majority last February, he has become even more unhinged with at least ten different controversial announcements within the past month alone which begs the following question. What will it take to stop Doug Ford?

Critiquing Bike Share Toronto’s March 2026 Annual Operating Plan

On Wednesday, the Toronto Parking Authority presented Bike Share Toronto’s 2026 annual operating plan. Several media outlets mainly reported on the new e-bike design, but there are several other things in store for the next four years. Let’s pedal along!

A Tale of Two Bike Shows

Toronto hosted two bike shows this past weekend: those being the Toronto Bicycle Show and E-Bike Expo and Gremlins’ Vintage MTB Show. The former returned to the CNE after being held at the International Centre near Pearson Airport in recent years, while the latter was next to Blood Brothers Brewery on Geary Avenue. I went to both shows yesterday morning and here are my thoughts.

2026 (Not So) Coldest Day of the Year Ride

Today marks the longstanding annual winter cycling tradition called the “Coldest Day of the Year” Ride. However, the Alex Pretti Solidarity Ride held on January 31 was more deserving of that title with today ended up being a balmy 5’C. Even so, over 60 cyclists took part while Helen and Mozzie came along as well. This year’s route started at Sugar Beach Park headed southeast to the Tommy Thompson Park entrance before returning to Sugar Beach.

TCBC Clears the Bloor Bike Lane!

Almost three weeks after the big snowstorm, there were still some parts of the Bloor bike lane that were blocked by snow including the eastbound lane in Koreatown. Since I had to do some errands in The Annex and Chinatown this morning, I helped Albert Koehl and some other TCBC volunteers with the bike lane clearing in Koreatown.
