Today, I am very pleased to share that our #ActiveTO cycling network is expanding again. We are ready to deliver not one, but two major downtown cycling network connections.
Last week, I announced that a new bikeway was ready to go in on University Avenue/Queen’s Park Crescent, from Adelaide Street to Bloor Street. The 2.3 kilometre safe, separated route was fully installed just a few days ago. Image
By the end of this week, about 1.5 kilometres of safe, separated bike lanes will be in place along Bloor Street, between Avenue Road and Sherbourne Street. Image
All of this comes as our city enters stage two of the province’s restart plans; and right on time to support our frontline healthcare workers and other people who need to get to work and get around our city.

Just met with Chief @jamesramertps for another update on the work @TorontoPolice are doing to prepare for any possible 'convoy' protests.
 
Police took action today to close some roads around Queen's Park out of an abundance of caution.
I let Chief Ramer know that I support him 100 per cent in doing everything police can to keep our city safe and to avoid the situations we have seen in other cities.
 
As I said this morning, peaceful, respectful protests are an important part of the Canadian way of life.
But they must also be viewed alongside the rights of other residents and businesses to go about their lives peacefully and safely. We cannot accept a state of affairs which sees one group's rights exercised in a way that rolls over the rights of others.

We all have a right to protest but abusing that right in order to harass people outside a hospital and spread misinformation about vaccines in the middle of the pandemic is unacceptable and beyond the pale.
It’s unfair to our healthcare heroes and everyone trying to attend hospitals for treatment.
As Mayor of Toronto, I absolutely condemn anyone taking part in this so-called protest - you are doing nothing to help people, to protect the progress we have made reopening our city, or make sure we bring this pandemic to an end.

Today, as we mark 20 years since the devastating September 11 attacks in the United States we remember the lives tragically lost and honour the brave first responders who heroically rushed towards danger on that fateful day.
My thoughts today are with the thousands of innocent people who went to work that day and never returned home, and of course they all had families and friends and loves ones who were left behind.
This was the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil with nearly 3,000 victims including 24 Canadians – many who were connected to Toronto.

It's totally unacceptable for people under the guise of protest to disrupt Toronto restaurants and other businesses and mistreat and harass their customers.

This is bad behaviour and I cannot say enough how unacceptable it is in our city.
Elected officials don't direct police enforcement but I do believe there does come a time when protest crosses the line into mischief and harassment. That is one of the challenges of policing but I did bring it to the attention of @TorontoPolice Chief @jamesramertps today.
I continue to be disappointed and dismayed by the rhetoric and the outrageous antics of those with extreme anti-mask, anti-lockdown, and anti-vaccine views.

Masks save lives and help protect people, including young children who can't get vaccinated.

I want to thank the local community, City staff and the Province for working together to come to a much better outcome for the future of the Dominion Foundry Complex. Image
The Province has committed to conserving the cultural heritage value of the property and has taken into account feedback from the community and the City of Toronto.
This path forward has ensured the outcome that I always had hoped could be achieved here - we ensure more affordable housing is built and at the same time address community concerns around heritage and public consultation.

For restaurants who are seeing this I know it will be tough. This advice will unfortunately cause hardship for restaurants who are already struggling to survive.
Restaurants will still be able to serve people on patios and offer takeout and delivery – and I encourage all Toronto residents to support their local restaurants as much as they possibly can during this terrible time.
I talked to @CAFreeland this morning and she confirmed they are working to launch a program to help hospitality businesses among others through these tough times as soon as possible.
