Ben FultonBloomington 7-Line to be ruined by stop signs"Some cyclists had complained the stop signs would require them to stop at nearly every cross street, which would impede their momentum both up- and downhill. However, some bicyclists also said they were stopping at nearly every cross street anyway, because they always had to worry about inattentive and/or confused motorists failing to yield."<a href="https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/local/2025/03/03/city-of-bloomington-to-reinstall-stop-signs-on-7th-street-bike-lane/80734844007/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/local/2025/03/03/city-of-bloomington-to-reinstall-stop-signs-on-7th-street-bike-lane/80734844007/</a><a href="https://midwest.social/c/bloomington_in" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bloomington_in</a> <a href="https://hoosier.social/tags/bikelanes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bikelanes</a>

B) Maintain bike lanes and, if you really want a sustainable city management plan, clean your streets with the same machines you clean your bike lanes with. C) Prioritize people.

MeganPretty sure I saw Doug Ford's commute in to Queen's Park this morning. On College St, going eastbound from Bathurst, a large black SUV with tinted windows drove by. I heard the siren first, and assumed it was police or ambulance. But no.It had small flashing blue and red lights front and back. I saw it approach 2 red lights. Each time, they paused then drove through the red light. It was 8AM and traffic wasn't bad.Fucker.<a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/DoFo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoFo</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/DougFord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DougFord</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/BikeLanes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BikeLanes</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Toronto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Toronto</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Ontario" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ontario</a>
