TORONTO Days after dozens of cyclists were ticketed in Toronto s High Park for speeding and running stop signs, it appears the rule breaking continues, leading some to question whether the problem is with the cyclists or the rules themselves. Not a single cyclist stopped at stop signs at a High Park intersection as CTV News Toronto watched for an hour from lycra-clad racers to families out for an afternoon ride. Young people, older people, people with and without helmets, and even one person doing a wheelie through the stop sign. One person stopped near a sign, but that appeared to be just to get directions.

Published Friday, July 9, 2021 11:42AM EDT Last Updated Friday, July 9, 2021 3:12PM EDT Toronto’s decision to issue hundreds of tickets to people found using closed park amenities in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic was “generally unfair” given the “fragmented” and “confusing” messaging around what was and wasn’t allowed, a new report from the city’s ombudsman has found. Ombudsman Susan Opler conducted an enquiry into Toronto’s enforcement of COVID-19 rules in city parks over a six-week period in the spring of 2020 after receiving 10 separate complaints from people who “felt they had been penalized not for flouting the COVID-19 rules on the use of city parks, but for simply being unaware of them, or not fully understanding them.”
