Guest: Ben Cohen, Toronto Star City Hall reporter
Electric scooters weaving through sidewalks, e-bikes flying through intersections, and mopeds cutting into bike lanes have become a common sight in Toronto. The city is being rapidly reshaped by the rise of micromobility; fast, electric vehicles that don't require a driver's licence or plates and remain only lightly regulated. The result has been more collisions, rising emergency room visits and growing confusion over who belongs where. While city officials and police have launched enforcement and education campaigns, the rules remain unclear.
Star reporter Ben Cohen spent an hour watching micro-mobility traffic on Adelaide Street and documented more than 30 unsafe or illegal incidents, offering a glimpse into a city struggling to manage this fast-changing way of moving.
