Tragedy on Avenue Road not an Anomaly
Last Wednesday, Miguel Joshua Escanan’s young life was taken while riding his bike on Avenue Road, metres beyond the end of ActiveTO bike lanes (and where a speedway begins).
3 people riding bicycles were killed in Toronto in the last 2 weeks.
Please join us Friday morning from 830-850am at Nathan Phillips Square and show solidarity with fellow cyclists demanding an end to road fatalities of vulnerable road users in Toronto. Together, we'll lie down with our bicycles in silent protest.
We're calling on City Council to:
1) adopt a strong Vision Zero policy of zero road fatalities
2) boost cycling's budget to $20 million and
3) build the Minimum Grid
