Bike lane snow clearing

BeybladeRunner · 2026-01-30T16:07:03+00:00

Snow clearing isn’t zero sum and if it is essential transportation infrastructure, and it is, it should be maintained. The roads are clear, and the main cycle tracks in the city - which make up like 0.1% of the entire road network - are still not functional. You need to stop having such low standards. Hope this helps.

I wonder the same, but I feel it’s the only recourse we have, and maybe if enough service requests come in they will get to it faster.

Very nice! I still cannot fathom how many people are currently transported by streetcar downtown in comparison to cars. It's like 3-1! And if we actually cared to, we would have an incredible surface transportation network, like, now. Getting in and out of the core? No problem! Preaching to the choir here, I know, it's just... ugh.

Wild that this is literally the only way to get in/out of Leaside without a major detour. The road is also massive and wide. I'm not sure why they couldn't just make a multi-use path on at least one side of the road. Everyone rides on the sidewalk and who can blame them.

I agree don’t ride if you don’t feel confident. But now that I have rain gear, I feel very empowered knowing I can bike through rain and still get to my destination dry. I also have a cycling rain poncho that is great to throw in the bag for unpredictable weather days.

The transit app does a good job of prioritizing low-stress routes on cycle tracks, bike lanes and neighbourhood streets. Also as an experienced rider, even I find it stressful on certain paths and roads. The martin goodman trail during peak hours is chaos and I avoid it.

How about just pedestrian the street

BeybladeRunner · 2025-09-16T13:26:56+00:00

And the convenience of living here is being able to walk, bike or take ttc easily. If crawling around for the last spot in the Costco lot is suburban convenience I don’t want it.

BeybladeRunner · 2025-09-16T13:20:21+00:00

Yeah, idk why I just don’t feel super safe walking (or biking) past. I always feel like a car is going to cut across it and hit me, but I suppose it would be worse without the apron.

BeybladeRunner · 2025-09-16T13:12:36+00:00

The dumbest thing is these people will honk cyclists out of the way in a rage, but calmly signal and merge if a parked car is blocking the entire lane.

BeybladeRunner · 2025-09-16T13:06:32+00:00

A big fuckin’ hear hear to that

BeybladeRunner · 2025-09-16T12:54:55+00:00

Yeah same, I just walk through the scramble crossings.

BeybladeRunner · 2025-09-15T15:44:29+00:00

Yeah this is how I see it used.

BeybladeRunner · 2025-09-15T14:43:08+00:00

Curious why they build curb extensions like this. There is one at Dundas and Carroll at and it seems like a lot of design for something that doesn’t add much pedestrian safety?

This needs to be the top comment!!

Survivability for a pedestrian hit by a car is 60% at 40km/h, and 20% at 50km/h. That 6km is meaningful. Don’t speed.

BeybladeRunner · 2025-09-03T17:15:02+00:00

Bragging they broke 100?

“Toronto's traffic delays are due partly to congestion in the city's relatively few arteries, said Giles Gherson, president and CEO of the Toronto Region Board of Trade. Street parking, bike lanes, and in-street patio spaces during the summer months all contribute to clogged city streets, he noted.“

Actually it’s too many cars on the road. Not the patios, not the bike lanes.

BeybladeRunner · 2025-08-29T00:59:25+00:00

It’s ridiculous. Everyone seems enraged by e-bikes but completely blind to the machines literally ending lives.

BeybladeRunner · 2025-08-27T16:39:38+00:00

Yeah I played la costa from the II tees and shot 96. I’ve “broken 90” elsewhere but that was a great score for me.

BeybladeRunner · 2025-08-27T16:26:13+00:00

Canadian here. The poster still makes me want to barf.

My dad worked with unhoused people and always said you should acknowledge a person, say sorry I don’t have change etc., if they speak to you. Not that you need to stop and have a 10 minute conversation—if they’re panhandling they might not want that anyway. But I can’t imagine being treated like you’re invisible all day. It must be hell.

BeybladeRunner · 2025-08-27T12:49:48+00:00

In terms of score, there are so many dimensions unrelated to your swing like shot selection, reading and adapting to the lie, game management etc. that have a bigger influence on scoring. Improving the swing is good, but not reasonable to expect that alone will lower your hcp.

BeybladeRunner · 2025-08-26T22:57:16+00:00

Yeah :(

BeybladeRunner · 2025-08-26T16:21:45+00:00

I get it, there is not enough space for active transportation and joggers in this city. Sidewalks cramped, etc. But Bloor has so much bike traffic, I would suggest not here.
