Autor

Albert Koehl has been an environmental lawyer, and a former adjunct professor of law, for thirty years, dedicated to issues of transportation, energy (mis)use, and climate change. His writings and interviews are regularly published in a variety of media. He has represented (pro bono) cycling groups before courts, tribunals, public forums, and at city hall. Koehl’s name has been called “synonymous with cycling in Toronto,” his work inspired and sustained by a commitment to social justice and the belief that how we get around should be based on fairness and respect for each other and our community, instead of on power and wealth. Among his proudest achievements at home or abroad he counts his leadership in the successful, decades-long fight for a Bloor Street (-Danforth Avenue) bike lane that transformed this dangerous arterial into a model for safer, happier, and more climate-friendly public spaces.
