About a month ago, we posted about the upcoming Bloor Street Transformation project, which will not include bikelanes (although the City is looking at the possibility Bloor-Danforth Bikelanes) or even bikeposts, as the Business Improvement Area sponsored plan apparently does not want cyclists in the "posh" shopping district of Toronto.

There's an Information Night tomorrow night about the project, and it's always good when cyclists remind others that streets are public spaces, and cyclists have as much right to public space as cars and pedestrians.

Information Night information from TaketheTooker:

Hey folks, the Bloor Street BIA is hosting a Bloor Street Transformation Information Night on Tues, and we have to be out in force! Numbers are everything! Can each of you attend, and invite a few others to come along?

For your info, Council recently approved the reconstruction plan on Bloor between Ave. Rd. and Church St., which will remove car parking but will NOT include bike lanes! Let the BIA know what you think about their $25 million dollar plan which excludes bikes.
