I'm sorry to pile onto Finch West LRT further, but 350 delays in December is wild, considering it was only scheduled for 392 operating hours in December; that's nearly 1 delay per hour - and that ignores the hours it was supposed to be running but wasn't! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Polar dip into Lake Ontario, New Year's Day, 2026. Third year and counting; I guess that makes it a tradition? #Toronto #LakeOntario #PolarDip #PolarPlunge #PolarBearSwim

I wanted to compare what I saw on Seattle's Line 1 LRT with Toronto's Finch LRT. In Seattle, you can see left turning cars waiting while fast-moving transit gets priority. Help TTCriders make it happen in Toronto: www.ttcriders.ca/greenlight 📸: @wk1998.bsky.social / @kevinrupasinghe.bsky.social

🚍‼️ The new #TTC #RapidTO bus lanes on #Dufferin are great! Next, they should be: -⬆️ extended north from Bloor to Eglinton -🚌 paired w/ frequent & reliable service -↔️ added to Finch, Lawrence, Jane & Steeles ✍🏾 Sign @ttcriders.bsky.social petition to expand & improve them: www.TTCriders.ca/Lanes

தமிழ் ஆய்வுகள்! It's been a joy learning Tamil this autumn. My vocabulary is minimal, my writing is messy, but I've picked up 12 vowels & 18 consonants & 216 syllables in 2 months ✍🏾 Looking forward to being quadrilingual, and I'm pleased to better connect with my homeland and my Tamil brothers & sisters!

Red, orange, yellow, green, brown... And now white ❄️😭

Biidaasige Park on Ookwemin Minising island is phenomenal. A gem in the city. Something Toronto should be proud of & quite the feat along with renaturalizing the mouth of the Don River to manage flooding. Congratulations to everyone involved with the new Port Lands! #BiidaasigePark #OokweminMinising

This is going to be an awesome ride! Join us on Saturday morning to explore Scarborough's Meadoway! More details: www.scarboroughcycles.ca/general/sat-...

Tahoma & Luna: a couple of big rocks.

Help expand car share across Toronto - send an email to City Council! www.kevrup.ca/carshare Toronto has outdated & unfair rules about on-street permit parking in Scarborough, North York & Etobicoke residents which prevent car share from operating in these areas. [1/3]

A little birdie told me Eglinton Crosstown must be opening soon... a major project milestone achieved on June 1... Pigeons have migrated from Kennedy subway station into the new LRT building to claim their spots... #Scarborough #ScarbTO #Eglinton #Crosstown #LRT #Toronto #TTC #Pigeon

Good morning Scarborough ☀️🌳

Great to see Scarborough's Meadoway featured in the Globe and Mail!

Parliament works best with the NDP at the table, and I want @bhutilakarpoche.bsky.social there as a voice for Toronto. She was a popular & effective MPP, and she can win in Taiaiako'n—Parkdale—High Park with your help. Volunteer on election day: www.bhutila.ca/election-day

Grateful to speak at @UTSC Prof. Andre Sorensen's Complete Streets course along w/ Dylan Reid, Becky Katz & Marvin Macaraig. We heard 5 excellent presentations about redesigning Scarborough's Sheppard Ave E. I was impressed & I was glad to support these students — they make me optimistic! 👏🏾👏🏾

Elbows up ! Our team of Scarborough community members had to grab a photo with Windsor's Canadian flag while we were in Detroit learning about the Joe Louis Greenway & how it could serve as inspiration for reimagining the Scarborough RT corridor... More pics & our learnings for the SRT coming soon!

Had a great time last night sharing ideas on addressing our housing affordability crisis with some brilliant panelists & a thoughtful, engaged audience at 'Moving the Needle' w/ Brampton BOT & CivicAction. You can learn more & take action on housing at www.missionaffordable.ca

Worried about GTHA housing affordability? Join the Moving the Needle panel event at The Rose Brampton (1 Theatre Lane) TOMORROW Wed Mar 5, 5:30-7:30p. Fully addressing the many crises we face — housing, congestion, climate — requires solutions for the suburbs. members.bramptonbot.com/calendar/Det...

Did you know Scarborough has fewer BIAs than any other borough? My neighbour Marce Bylinska & I wrote about Scarborough's BIA potential in the March Bluffs Monitor after celebrating the new Cedarbrae Markham Lawrence Village BIA's opening. www.kevinrupasinghe.ca/news?active=...

❄️ A final few toboggan rides at the end of a snowy five-day weekend in the city ❄️ #Scarborough #ScarbTO #Birchmount #BirchmountPark #Kingston #Danforth #Toboggan #Sled #Winter #Snow #SnowDay #Sledding #Hill #Bluffs #BluffsTO #Cliffside #BirchCliff #ScarboroughBluffs #Toronto

GTA kids gotta be pumped. Monday holiday, Friday PA day, and a surprise Thursday snow day? A 5-day weekend with a fresh pile of snow??? 🤯🤯Living the absolute dream

I was pleased to vote in the Ontario provincial election for my friend, role model, and community champion for Scarborough Southwest: Doly Begum! The returning office is the old Sun Valley grocery store / partial haunted house. Voting took 5 minutes. Vote Monday to Saturday 10a-8p or Sunday 12p-5p

🏂🏾 Moguls or 🍰 Meringue ?

On the bus last night and some university kids were yapping about the Raptors game, trying to remember what Spicy P's real name was, and talking about how they *were in grade 8* when the Raps won the championship 🤯 @torontoraptor.bsky.social

🩸💉In 2024, I was pleased to mark my 60th whole blood donation to Canadian Blood Services, so I'm trying something new in 2025 - making a plasma donation for the first time! If you can, consider donating blood, plasma, or platelets: blood.ca

Tonight at 6:30pm: Scarborough Southwest budget town hall at the Scarborough Village community centre. Please join & speak up to support investments that will benefit residents, like TTC service improvements, which are at risk! Also do the survey: www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZYTYM6X

Wow, I am glad to finally see the front of the townhomes on Clonmore between Gerrard & Warden ! The hoarding has been up for a long time and I have lost track of how many years construction has been underway... Hopefully we will welcome some new neighbours into the area in 2025! #BirchCliff #Toronto

#December6 is always a sombre day of reflection. I was able to join peers & commemorate The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women & take a small action in support of ending gender-based violence by assembling some care packages for Sistering

Scarborough's Golden Mile is going through an enormous transformation, & I'm glad to see @TorontoStar covered it today in 3 pieces. Have a read - it will take an engaged public & visionary leaders to properly shape this future city within #ScarbTO

Join me on Wed Dec 4 for a live screening of "Better Ballots"! Changing our voting system would change who runs, how they run, how we vote, who wins, & how elected officials operate after the election. We'll have a great discussion, and we can make it happen! Join us! eventbrite.ca/e/unrigged-s...

Join us on Wed. Dec 4 for a special screening of & conversation about @davemeslin.bsky.social & TVO'S UNRIGGED! Dave will lead a discussion with RaBIT's co-chair, @rebeccachesley.bsky.social, and former co-chair @kevinrupasinghe.bsky.social For tickets: www.eventbrite.ca/e/unrigged-s...

It's pretty amazing that the Gardiner Expressway is basically being held up in the air using the same approach as the wooden slats of an IKEA bed... Including the misaligned and broken pieces... #Gardiner #Exhibition #TOpoli

"[Cities] have no constitutional protection from jurisdictional overstepping by provincial governments, and no assurance they will be able to complete any effort they undertake." A fitting GO train read from TPL, given what's been going on lately at Queen's Park #ONpoli #TOpoli

Help ensure Golden Mile's new roads support walking, cycling, & transit instead of more car traffic! Attend the public meetings: - 6:30pm Thu Nov 21 (online) - 6:00pm Tue Nov 26 (in-person at Clairlea Public School) Register, do the survey (by Dec 2) & learn more at www.Toronto.ca/GoldenMile

A splash of colour to keep transit riders moving on St Clair E under the Scarborough GO train bridge between Kennedy & Midland. Painting still in progress, and not without the risks of an autumn install. #TTC #Transit #RapidTO

Towers peeking at Downsview Park

Honoured to attend the Scarborough Remembrance Day ceremony to remember those who sacrificed for our freedom, this year alongside my fellow Scarborough Bluffs Community Association board member. #RemembranceDay #Scarborough #ScarbTO #Cenotaph #Danforth #Kingston #LestWeForget
