.@CheriseBurda on @metromorning: #TransformYonge not a cars vs cycling debate. The plan is for a complete street - 2 of 6 traffic lanes for other uses: sidewalks, pedestrians public spaces patios cycling greenery. The plan is responding to how that centre is growing #topoli
#TransformYonge @metromorning We expect North Yonge to absorb all this growth density and condos, so they deserve the healthy vibrant neighbourhood that goes with it. Cannot have placemaking next to 6 lanes of traffic it’s not a pleasant place to be says @CheriseBurda #topoli
#TransformYonge passes with large majority. A historic moment for active transportation in TO. Kudos to @JohnFilionTO & advocacy groups such as @Walk_TO & @CycleToronto. There should be a spot in the agenda for trumpet fanfares.
Drove 1.5km into the office today, cause 401 ramps are hard to walk near...of course, had some lunatic in an Audi swerve at me, roll down his window, and give me the finger b4 cutting across 3 lanes to get onto the hwy. Another fine morning #walkto @ONtransport #transformyonge
It's a shame that road safety advocates have to hold a 'die-in' at City Hall to avoid real-life dying and collisions. Politicians talk a good game about #VisionZero while having no vision on how to actually protect vulnerable road users. #TransformYonge thestar.com/news/gta/2018/…
#TransformYonge would see Yonge Street in North York transformed from a dangerous six-lane highway into a complete street that is safe for all road users. #VisionZeroTO
More pedestrians and cyclists are killed and seriously (KSI) injured in the suburbs in Toronto. This year has had 147 KSIs. 26 of 35 (74%) people killed were in the suburbs. #TODeadlyStreets cannot continue, but we know how to fix them. In North York it's with #TransformYonge.
.@CheriseBurda on @metromorning Yonge north was built at a time long before it was full of condos and when it served to move traffic in and out of the city. Today, North York Centre IS THE CITY. And it deserves a truly urban main street #TOpoli #TransformYonge
Nov 17 is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. We will be in #NorthYork to condemn the # of people hit & killed in the suburbs, advocate for #TransformYonge #TODeadlyStreets Date: Nov 17 Location: Yonge & Finch Time: 4:45 PM RSVP: facebook.com/events/3740730…
"That car through-travel times on the road itself might be slowed by a minute is not a bug in the plan, it is a feature." @thekeenanwire compares #Toronto's drive-through & live-in streets: thestar.com/opinion/star-c… #VisionZero #TransformYonge #walkTO #bikeTO #Caronto #placemaking
The building of Yonge St in the 1790s is already on a list as an “Event of National Historic Significance” but save one more spot for the day the “longest street in the world” becomes safe for modern Canadians to ride a bike on. #TransformYonge More: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yonge_Str…
We walked down Yonge in North York where there is an opportunity to see a much safer and more vibrant area. #TransformYonge would install protected cycle tracks and safer crossings. Getting safe infrastructure outside of downtown is key to preventing further harm. #BikeTO
Crazy good thread. #TransformYonge
1) A mapping thread to provide some context and perspective for #TransformYonge. This is Toronto’s street network.
WHAT?!?! @JayeRobinson running unopposed?! The councillor tasked with #VisionZero implementation, but who couldn't be arsed to show up for the #TransformYonge vote?! Who won't support Lawrence Park sidewalks, forcing kids on street beside huge SUVs?! #TOpoli #hypocrite #ThatSucks
👇Must-read post on #bikeTO / #walkTO improvements. Succinct analysis of #TransformYonge / #yongeTOmorrow sutuation, ending w e-mails of the 3 parties you need to contact, & what (in RZ's expert judgement) you need to tell them. He's done the heavy lifting -- now do your part!
And that's why I voted #keesmaat4mayor #transformyonge #reimagineyonge cc @JohnFilionTO
This rings true. When we tried to turn north Yonge Street, currently a six-lane highway running through an urban centre on a subway, into a complete, liveable street and destination with bike lanes, city council shot it down to prioritize drivers who live outside of the city.
It’s time! 8 #pedestrians & #cyclists have been seriously injured or killed on this strip! #transformyonge can save lives & create a sense of community! @CycleToronto @JohnTory @VisionZeroTO @DavidSuzukiFDN @CanadaWalks thestar.com/news/gta/2018/…
This is an idea to transform Yonge St and make it a Main street for North York. Protected Bike lanes are one part of Transform Yonge. Widened sidewalks, landscaping and Safer Streets for Everyone. #TransformYonge #Keesmaat4mayor #topoli
Near Yonge & Finch for @jen_keesmaat mayoral campaign event. (Possibly saying she would build staff recommended “Reimagine Yonge” remake w of street w protected bike lanes? Rival @JohnTory won’t support lanes on Yonge, wants them on nearby sidestreet) #topoli
Call it what you want, #transformYonge or #reimagineYonge I'm all here for it. Crossing the street in Willowdale is like playing Frogger.
MEDIA RELEASE - COUNCILLOR FILION, RESIDENTS AND ADVOCATES CALL FOR IMPROVED YONGE STREET: johnfilion.ca/councillor-fil…
this @TorontoStar article by @thekeenanwire sums up nicely how a great city-building plan was almost scuppered by car-centric ideology and desire for so-called "balance" #TransformYonge #TOpoli thestar.com/opinion/star-c…
It's hard to take these photo-ops and half-measures seriously when @JohnTory later in the same day opposed pedestrian and cyclist safety with #TransformYonge. Tory clearly has zero interest in road safety or pedestrian lives. #topoli #walkTO
This morning Councillor Colle & I installed the first in-road traffic-calming sign as part of a pilot to test improvements to road safety. We are installing these signs in 10 school zones across the city to remind motorists they are in a school zone & to slow down. #VisionZero
To elaborate on @g_meslin's thread—people are not *actually* inconvenienced. The threat is symbolic, psychological. They're threatened by what projects like #KingStreetPilot and #TransformYonge *represent*.
Love this endorsement of @MarkusOBF by @BikewaysTO! As an avid cyclist in #Willowdale, it's been my experience that Markus is the only one in local gov't who supports building more of cycling infrastructure AND supports the #TransformYonge project. Go Markus 4 Willowdale! #BikeTO
In Ward 18, @MarkusOBF served as @JohnFilionTO's chief of staff & has helped champion the Transform Yonge complete street project. He recognizes we have more than enough evidence that safe streets can work in #Willowdale. #BikeTO #TOpoli #TOVotes22 #VisionZero
For the record, my full quotation was that saying No to building #TransformYonge, a #CompleteStreet to stop #RoadViolence, all to save 1600 York Region drivers *30 seconds or LESS* is perverse, and I am 💯correct. Safety matters more than slight convenience in a #VisionZero city.
-4/10 ? Not even sure how to improve- hope #reimagineyonge or #transformyonge happens! (I can’t keep up with the names 😆)
First the snow, then the SUV. How’s a dude supposed to walk on #yongestreet? #yongetomorrow now please #transformyonge #stoptionalTO #walkTO @JohnTory @JohnFilionTO ☠️
@GraphicMatt What would it take to get heated sidewalks for #TransformYonge? thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…

Great news! #transformYonge #TOpoli
Big win for how Toronto looks at our public right of ways. Transform Yonge plan passes City Council by a wide margin. More safe space for pedestrians, cyclists and main street activity in Toronto’s north end. Congrats to the relentless @JohnFilionTO in this historic win.
Champions, community, collaboration, commitment, care - cycling! 🥳 #transformyonge What a beautiful transformation it is, congratulations to all in #BikeTO, so much we can learn from here in #BikeMississauga!
Well, its finally happened. After three rounds at council, Transform Yonge has passed and Willowdale will get the main street it deserves. I need to thank organizations who gave their support like @FFSafeStreets, @RNAO, @Walk_TO, @CycleToronto, and @DavidSuzukiFDN.
Amazing news!!! #transformyonge #BikeTO

What great news! That stretch of Yonge is a 6-lane highway with rampant speeding, creating a foreboding environment where local people (customers!) funny want to be. #TransformYonge will turn it into a desirable place to be: Wider sidewalks! Patios! Greenery! #bikeTO lanes!
City Council just voted for Transform Yonge, which will transform North York. It’s a bold & smart step forward. Transform Yonge will create a new downtown in North York with expanded sidewalks, business patios, safer streets & active transit. Well done Councillor @JohnFilionTO
A group of #planning students at @geo_uoft are circulating a petition urging City Council to vote for #transformyonge tomorrow. Find out more savetransformyonge.ca @CycleYonge @FFSafeStreets @880CitiesOrg @Walk_TO
My partner got hit by a car on Yonge in #northyork, during the Terry Fox run. Even with volunteers monitoring traffic. This neighbourhood is a joke! @JohnTory better #TransformYonge or someone is gonna get hurt, real bad. #ZeroVision

City builders urge @johntory and council not to pass up 'once in generation opportunity' in revamping Yonge St. cp24.com/news/city-buil… #topoli #TransformYonge

It's been suggested that #TransformYonge could add 1-2mins for drivers, but consider this alternative; imagine reducing congestion by encouraging folks to walk or cycle to work by creating greener, cleaner, safer spaces for #activetransportation buff.ly/2sWWgVj #CityofTO

#AsktheMayorCP24 Given obvious danger of a 6-lane highway for peds - stats clear re:injury & death on Yonge - why would you sacrifice #Willowdale lives & safety to save 1600 suburban drivers 60 secs or less?! 4 lanes is sufficient & SAFER #TransformYonge #ReimaginingYonge #TOpoli
Since MTO says no lane reduction here; #TransformYonge increase pedestrian Yonge St crossing distance from 7 to 9-lanes (extra 4m) at this Avondale/Florence intersection along w Ponytz/Anndale & Sheppard endangering lives of #WestLansing, #Avondale & south #Willowdale pedestrians
Given the complexity of the issues, & the fact that we'll be living with the consequences for generations, we need to be better informed about transit plans & implications before we rush into a #TransformYonge decision sez Cllr @joe_cressy. His deferral motion carries, 20-15.
On Nov 17, join us as we call on @cityoftoronto to move forward with the #TransformYonge option of the #REimaginingYonge project. Join us: 🗓 Date: Nov 17 📍 Location: Yonge & Finch 🕔Time: 4:45 PM RSVP: facebook.com/events/3740730…
Councillor @anabailaoTO & Councillor Palacio: we've prepared a Road Safety Report Card. Do you support #TransformYonge? #topoli #REimaginingYonge
Jess Spieker sez she had to traverse a nasty stretch of #YongeSt with a fractured spine (due to #bikeTO hit by an SUV) & a massive bilateral pulmonary embolism. To privilege 60 seconds' driving time over ppl's lives "is not a balanced approach. That is perverse." #TransformYonge
See album for photos from the World Day of Remembrance event Nov 17 2019. #WDoR2019 We must #TransformYonge from dangerous 6-lane highway into a vibrant, healthy, prosperous main street - safe for all. #RoadViolence #TODeadlyStreets #WalkTO #BikeTO #TOpoli facebook.com/pg/ffsafestree…
We hand delivered a copy of our petition to @JohnTory. We hope you support #TransformYonge! #TheLiveableCity @jen_keesmaat @stuartcdow @banffson @RebeccaNelson11 @helenloghrin @IsSamardzic @geo_uoft
We're at Mel Lastman Square remembering the 12 ppl killed in traffic collisions so far this year & calling on #TOCouncil to #TransformYonge
We as a council have made a promise to the ppl of #Toronto to #VisionZero. We haven't made a commitment called Vision Balance [i.e. halfway safety measures] safety) or Vision Exception. That's why we must #TransformYonge from a highway to a ppl-friendly realm sez @gordperks.
