TORONTO, ON Aug 10, 2022 - Leaders of Cycle Toronto met with Mayor John Tory to diffuse tensions and discuss evidence-based policy and design solutions to help improve the safety of people cycling and using active transportation in High Park.

On Thursday April 30, City Council met for the first time since the COVID-19 emergency began. In Council’s first ever virtual meeting only the most essential business was on the agenda. Fortunately, we have made clear that cycling is an essential matter!
