Jennifer Keesmaat has tweeted this morning that Toronto’s Bike Share program has expanded by 70 stations, and added 700 new bikes. We notice by looking at the map that 2 of the new stations appear to be at the Evergreen Brick Works at 550 Bayview Avenue. A wonderful addition to a location with access to Toronto’s beautiful trail system as well as the Bayview Extension’s brand new bike lane. But, with a potential of 700 new bicycles on the roads, has our City done enough to provide safe passage to and fro for the cyclists. Do you trust the bike lanes? Do the drivers understand the protocols around cyclists? Are cyclists following the rules of the road? The conversation continues.
With this expansion, @BikeShareTO will now have 270 stations, 2,750 bikes and 4,700 docks for Toronto residents across the city to enjoy. pic.twitter.com/5QiRi6RS0C

I’ve met with city staff to advocate extending @BikeShareTO stations up Yonge St to St. Clair, Davisville & Eglinton. We’re willing & ready.
