Slow Streets

This diverter protected intersection constructed with tactical urbanism is a great example of quicker, lighter and cheaper implementation producing a safer crossing experience for people walking and cycling while creating a new public space.

It is great to see the multi-use paths completed all the way to Cherry Beach at the Port Lands. It is also great to see heritage infrastructure preserved as well.

This is a great idea, activating the spaces between buildings in high foot traffic areas to add a bit of spark or novelty to our daily experiences.

These new uni-directional protected cycling lanes on Peter Street are fantastic.

Here is a brand new mixed bus stop integrating with the protected cycling right of way on Harbord Avenue, showing how beautifully this works with minimal clashes.

Brand new protected cycling lanes being used on Queen's Avenue, showing design over guidance or enforcement will always win.

Cycling infrastructure should focus on a comfortable experience as much as making it safe to encourage more of the vulnerable users to ride.

Aesthetically pleasing carts selling flowers in this case, food, icecream, coffee or drinks is a low cost, low impact way to generate high value and activate public spaces that often lack brick and mortar cafes.

It is always shown that when you build protected cycling lanes, that people use it, even in a large city like Toronto. And it worlds where cycling facilities intersects with transit stops.

When built right, cycling invites all gender, ages and culture to cycle.
