The ponds of Dawes Rd. On Taylor Creek between Dawes Rd & Vic Park Ave lies a series of manmade ponds and wetlands. All ground fed, they're a great place to watch nature reclaim the landscape. Right now the ponds are full from snow melt #RavineRamble #LoveTheRavines #TaylorCreek #Toronto #ParksTO

Great story at @thelocal.to -- these folks are the real front line against everyday driver rage and asshole behavior and their poorly paid or protected. We do not care though. There has been no popular blowback to standard behavoir. Only the occasional high profile drunk gets people upset.

Suddenly remembering the whole reason I made this bot was to identify and document a pattern of problems with bike share distribution. Given the months of evidence, it might finally be time to reach out to bike share and some councillors with a structured complaint.

Snuck onto a soon-to-be-open stretch of trail at Biidaasige Park. I love the incremental, phased opening that lets us enjoy the space even if not fully finished! A silver lining to spring: you can see the full skyline since the plants haven't yet grown in.
