Shelagh Pizey-Allen, executive director of the grassroots advocacy group TTCriders, says when it comes to transit operations, which the city is still responsible for, Tory has helped to secure emergency funding after the pandemic decimated transit ridership and consequently, fare revenues.
“It’s characteristic in the way it was done — started it as a pilot, bringing in tonnes of evidence to support the program and implementing such projects one by one by one rather than seeing it as a network and a system, and aim for much more systemic change.”While empty buses and streetcars trundle around town, vehicle traffic is building back toward pre-pandemic levels.
Keagan Gartz, executive director of Cycle Toronto, says Tory and council enabled unprecedented growth in the bike-lane network over the next three years. There will be future fights over expanding the network further, but it won’t stop. He points to small advances in the Vision Zero pedestrian and cyclist safety plan: “It’s not that there has been no action, but the underlying primacy of the car in much of the city has not been challenged.“I think he’ll continue at his pace,” Siemiatycki says. “The pandemic accelerated many projects already on the books and enabled them to be implemented with a lot less friction and controversy.
I thought he said he wouldn't run again. We deserve better leaders than him.
I think prudent here means he is rich
Well who else you got with big shoulders to take on this job? Trolls as they are in abundance these days.
Prudent is a strange way of spelling “meh”
Oh the leftist will keep him in power. Tory will block his opponents using his media power, like he did the last time.
Get rid of him. Skyrocketing corruption, poverty, gun violence and crime, poor infrastructure, lack of housing, telecommunication cost, stupid placements for bike lanes, growth for small businesses to thrive, programs for kids, inequality issues, policing, just to name a few🤫
Milquetoast anti-leader manages to look convincing while doing nothing of substance. He will be mayor of Toronto for eternity
Probably not. Toronto is a tough city to live in, let alone to run. He's failed in many different challenges, change will do us good.
OMG is this boring piece of Melba toast going to run again?
