lane and part of the rightand turn lane police say that will be part of the investigation cyclists in the area say they are constantly dealing with obstructed bike Lanes the construction on BL is insane um and I use this route mostly every single day um and there's a lot of barriers like it just feels like it's unsafe the psychist calls the death heartbreaking for the family she placed flowers on a tree near the scene very frequently when I cycle along this a lure anywhere there is an obstruction in the way that I need to navigate around I'm a very experienced rider I ride a motorcycle too so I feel safe but there's a lot of cyclists that are less experienc there's a lot to pay attention to and I I fear that that that could have uh been a contributing factor for sure Michael Longfield is with an organization called cycle Toronto which promotes bicycle safety in the city this stretch of blur and Avenue beside us have seen a lot of changes in recent Years A lot of it positive the fact we have this Bikeway here is really great but you know any system any chain is only as uh strong as its weakest link and if we're not prioritizing keeping these bikeways uh safe and clear and accessible then things like this um are are going to happen we contacted the city to ask about the positioning of this construction bin here is their response quote the city of Toronto offers its deepest condolences to the family and friends of the cyclists who tragically lost her life in today's Collision well it is not clear what the investigation will find the city is reminding residents and businesses of the importance of keeping bike Lanes clear of any obstacles in order to help ensure the safety of all Road users and we can report that that bin has since been removed from the bike

Olivia Chow's asking City staff to look for ways to prevent what happened last week during the torrential downpour chiao says big commercial property owners will have to pay if they don't take action to reduce storm water runoff CTV shoban Morris is at City Hall tonight with the details Siobhan well we saw a rare bit of political consensus here at City Hall we're only talking about a study right now but in the last hour City councilors agreed that they should take a look at what more big business can be doing to prevent flooding a city overwhelmed by water filling up highways coursing through Transit stations item is amended recorded vote City councilors have voted unanimously for a study by the end of the year on what can be done to prevent scenes like this Reviving the possibility of what was panned as a Rain Tax earlier this year whatever you want to call it we do have a lot of rain and Chow says the city needs a real plan to deal with it and fast my strategy is not to start saying pay us no that doesn't because that doesn't do anything in terms of the homeowners instead focus on Commercial and Industrial properties with big expanses of pavement if you provide your service make it more perable then you don't pay pay you pay less right whereas if you do nothing and your parking lot become parking Lake then you should take some responsibility beefing up the city's sewer system will cost more than $4 billion over the next decade and efforts some counselors argue businesses aren't contributing to right now if you're taking your shower or washing your clothes you're subsidizing a parking lot and you're doing nothing to improve flooding she feels Toronto has catchup to do in holding commercial property owners responsible if you pollute less you pay less that is the incentive it's been proven to work in city after City all around the world even though there's been resistance before I think in light of what's what's happened and with the recent flooding I I think that the you know I think there'll be more support out there from the public as well for homeowners the mayor wants to reexamine programs present and past to see what works best to keep water out of Toronto basement when it comes to water flowing into the sewer system City staff say that big business accounts for about half but very few of those businesses are paying anything

such as spacex's Dragon capsule the Canadian women's soccer teams pulled off a win in their Opening match at the Paris Olympics but it comes in the wck of allegations that members of the coaching staff were spying on the New Zealand team during practice cgb's Beth Mell with fan reaction to the Fallout it's a dark cloud hanging over the wind accusations that Canada's women's team used a drone to spy on opponent New Zealand ahead of their Opening match at the Paris games it's a total embarrassment we're known as a nation of of being fair and we destroyed that with one move at Real Sports in downtown Toronto fans following the drama are hoping Canada can move past the allegations at this first game after trailing for most of the first half Canada was Victorious over New Zealand 2 to one I have heard reports that it does happen a lot so you know although it's it could be pretty common for teams to do this and spy on each other um you know I think the fact that Canada got caught and um you know they're suffering the consequences is unfortunate those are heavy allegations obviously removing the coach is a big deal uh especially with the uh reigning gold medal Champions that's worrisome but I think the girls will overcome yeah the spying allegations stem from Monday and last Friday when drones flew over New Zealand's team practice two members of the Canadian team analyst Joseph Lombardy and assistant coach Jasmine Mander have been sent home and head coach Bev priestman removed herself from this match the decision showing ethical leadership says this Sports researcher there's a lot of speculation over whether she had any idea about that um should a leadership know leader know everything about their team that goes on I think that's a difficult stance to take so far the Canadian Olympic Committee says the ioc does not have a pending investigation it says New Zealand has registered a complaint to FIFA and asked that no points be given to Canada if they won the match some felt watching the game Canada's players weren't connecting the way they normally do it has to be bit of a distraction the the sad thing is the team has kind of gotten used to dealing with distractions they had it last year heading into the World Cup dealing with h battles with Canada Soccer edging out a win despite the Scandal that has many wondering what will happen next Beth maell CTV News still ahead advocating for access to the Waterfront one man's efforts to get the ball rolling on change and I'm Pat foren coming up on consumer alert the summer concert season is well underway with many acts touring the GTA a major concert set for next week just had to change its lineup due to an illness and one concert goer is shocked he's not allowed to get a refund I love that story that's just a hit clear and sunny is the theme for the next few days lots of sunshine expected the weekend is also looking very sunny if the kids have camp tomorrow things are going to be good lots of sunshine sunny and comfortable we'll give you a look at the long range forecast right after the break welcome back many bigname artists are making stops in Toronto as part of their tours this summer including some bands that had major hits in the 80s and 90s a major concerts planned for the Rogers Center next Friday but the lineup recently changed after one of the Bands had to drop out here's Pat forign and consumer alert Pat thanks Nathan and Natalie heartt is a band with many hits and a loyal following but they had to drop out of next week's show due to singer Anne Wilson announcing she has a major health issue some fans who bought tickets are surprised they're not allowed to get a [Music] refund sisters Anne and Nancy Wilson make up the band Hart which has been active since the 1970s and sold over 50 million records worldwide I I wanted to see Hart very very badly I I'd never seen him in in in all these years Paul Lee of Toronto is a huge fan and bought tickets to see them as part of the summer stadium tour which also features de leopard and journey heart but unfortunately lead singer Anne Wilson had to cancel her involvement in the concert as well as other upcoming shows as she under goes treatment for cancer she told her fans she hopes to be back on tour next year after heart dropped out the promoter for the Toronto show added the band cheap trick to take their place I was very angry I the way I was looking at uh basically Ticket Master was trying to pull a cheap trick on me Lea says while he wishes Anne Wilson well he is on a fixed income and wants his money back for the $140 tickets it's unfair it's unfair and all I'm asking for is a refund sometimes when for whatever reason one of the Bands can't attend and has to canel it's a promoter's worst nightmare music industry expert Eric Alper says a promoter would have to is issue refunds if a headliner cancels a show but says for an opening act they only need to find a comparable band to fill the spots because the show is still going on the show is still happening and in their eyes they're putting together something of value as well Ticket Masters website says opening acts are subject to change or cancellation at any time without notice no refund will be owed if an opening act or Festival performer is changed or cancelled still after we reached out to Ticket Master on Lea's behalf he was given a full refund I just want to say thank you very much to CTV News Pat forign you guys handle the situation great and uh I'm grateful and when buying tickets for a concert or any event it's a good idea to check the refund policy as many will differ promoters in different cities and venues may have their own rules for when a refund should apply on your side I'm Pat foren if you have a consumer story idea email us at alert ctv.ca okay it's not quite Friday yet but as we head into the weekend the forecast is looking fabulous it's looking great we had a lot of rain over what a couple

beaches but those ramps don't go all the way into the water man says public pools won't allow access with Inflatables and without the options that previously existed at Ontario Place Lake access is next to Impossible Toronto is the biggest city on the Great Lake so we should be a role model of stewardship for freshwater access but there is nowhere in the city of Toronto where someone with disabilities can launch a kayak or an exercise ball uh into the water and so he's come here to this Fountain to work on his Rehabilitation it's really good for the spine if anybody has back injuries a lot of times I get up in the morning I can't stand up I need my Walker but then if I can get the right spinal stability exercises man who ran for May in the last election on on a platform that included improving access to the lake and keeping Ontario Place public hopes that by taking his rehab routine to public spaces it might encourage the public and elected officials to think about ensuring access to the water for all there are a lot of people with disabilities who can't any longer get into the water and it's it's a real crime because Lake Ontario uh should be accessible to
