Makes you wonder the long-term time savings if the Bloor-Yonge Capacity Project included installing a Line 2 crossover.

Camogli. These things slide out & make ped areas. Deliveries when needed. Local police don’t extort $100s of $1000s todo this.

I became a huge Hannes Halldórsson fan in 2018 because he saved a penalty kick from Messi and Iceland drew with Argentina. If Cabo Verde wins, I'm moving to Praia.

This is a memorial post for all the deleted "the World Cup in Toronto was a failure"/"what went wrong?" oped drafts.

Does our education system really need to make a profit?

Nothing more Canadian than canoeing. Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦🇨🇦

As a Eurovision fan, I think this is overall a really good thing (and a thought of mine for years). We could have a selection contest that highlights artists, music, and genres from across the country. Def. brings us closer to Europe and away from the US, culturally.

The ultimate irony is IntegrityTO booking a tent at pride. With all he has posted to villainize pedestrian streets and queer people, it’s definitely something that this grifter feels comfortable enough to use a queer pedestrian street to preach his vitriol.

Christie Pits completely filled up two hours prior to the start of Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie. Shout out to the Toronto Outdoor Picture Show. Community is good.

Spotted a fleet of TTC Special Constable bikes at TMU Station. I'm not sure when they got those, but I'm happy they did since their cars tend to block live lanes of traffic and delay surface transit when they respond to downtown stations.

Adding Willemstad to the list.

It's not just a win for Toronto, but also a huge win for the chronically online to policy influencer pipeline.

I've seen enough. Statues, just hand them out like candy. Everyone gets a statue.

You love to see it. 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

The Eaton Centre had to close the Yonge and Dundas entrance because of the thousands of Ghanian fans watching the game at that corner and in the square. I bet CF is wishing they hadn't opposed pedestrianisation (if they felt shame of course)

On the bus on Kingston Road in Durham, car speeds through the red light, missing the yellow by a lot, at what looked like 120 km/h. Hits 3 separate cars, two others collide trying to avoid it. Car ends up crashing into a transformer box 100m away. It's policy choices all the way down.

They started having the French voice lady say the name of the Line 5 stations and oh lord, she's trying her best.

This is the anti-Toronto. Imagine a city where they want people excited and out in the streets. Toronto would probably debate this for an hour and then approve it as a pilot project for the next time the team makes the finals

One takeaway from today is that I really need to visit Sarajevo.

All I can think is how many people could be housed for $198M.

Apparently local residents and BIAs want to move cyclists and pedestrians out of the Eglinton and Allen Road intersection, for the benefit of drivers. Fill out the survey to balance the voices on this issue: cotsurvey.chkmkt.com?e=90012057&d...

I feel like the Venn diagram of those doing anti-social behaviour and those that don't feel shame is a perfect circle. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Canada's coaching staff can't use drones anymore because it's "cheating", so they hired snakes instead. This is how we win Group B. sports.yahoo.com/articles/swi...

The pedestrianization of Broadway through the heart of Manhattan just expanded, and it's glorious:

If you're wondering where the Toronto Police budget is going, it's to send one cop per person attending this chud rally led by an inflatable Donald Trump.

There are orders of magnitudes more pedestrians and transit riders in this photo than drivers. Any argument that cars belong here is complete nonsense.

Or you know www.brusselstimes.com/belgium/2090...

Dufferin station and the Dufferin bus feels like a whole universe apart from where it was same time last year. Bus lanes, exit numbering, e-ink displays, proper LCD programming. They're really hammering out improvements.

For an assignment, I spent 1.5 hours at a stop sign by U of T. Out of 228 vehicles, 208 did not stop. 59 when pedestrians were waiting or actively crossing. I saw 20/228 (9%) lawful interactions w/ that stop sign. If police showed any force to even one of those 208 drivers, there would be riots.

Video of what appears to be multiple @tps.ca officers tackling & arresting a cyclist during a stop sign trap on the MGT. Cyclist - "What did I do wrong?" Cop - "You didn't stop." If true, this is excessive use of force for a traffic stop. Mayor Chow & @ausmalik.bsky.social plz look into this.

500 & 530 Keele Street, former CPR bi-level warehouse complex, now home to a dozen different manufacturing companies and a few artists' spaces.

First time on Line 6 since they raised speed limits. Signal priority is a lot better since then but it does not mean much when we still crawl at 25 km/h over regular intersections. It only ever reached 60 km/h when approaching a hill and we would have rolled back down if we went any slower.

It doesn’t take much observation to see that Toronto should probably start to pedestrianize Yonge St

Is it a recession indicator when McDonalds skimps on the Windows license?

For those of you out there who want open streets brought back to Toronto, please sign & share the petition! And ask your candidates for public office to support it as well! #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero tinyurl.com/openstreetsp...

Each ad break, there's an ad narrated by Peter Mansbridge for Hanhwa? The South Korean company competing for the Royal Canadian Navy's submarine contract? Idk which decisionmakers these ads are for, but I can assure you they are NOT watching track and field at 11 PM on CBC Gem.

It's increasingly likely YRT will manage to put in bus lanes on Jane well before Toronto does. Despite triple the current ridership and several rounds of consultations in the past six years.

For everyone celebrating the approval of the Church Street Pedestrianisation pilot project (congrats @chanface.bsky.social 🥳🎉🎉), Ossington looks to be next and needs support at TEYCC for the proposal to be even bolder. Another market street overwhelmed by cars. secure.toronto.ca/council/agen...

The Church Street pedestrianization project is APPROVED 20-4. Church between Wellesley Street East and Alexander Street will be made car-free between June 19 and August 21.

Nunziata: "Next item is TE32.46, Pedestrianising Church Street"

I've been thinking about this all day at work and intermittently snickering to myself like a psychopath.

Why not expand this idea city-wide if we want cars off the road? Instead of relying on sponsors, tack $3.30x2 onto every sporting event, concert, and convention ticket and give a two-ride TTC pass via QR code in return. It would encourage taking transit since people would have already paid for it.

Typo aside, saying the TTC will run is probably a better advertisement for transit than it being free.

Preventing injury and death can't be done in good conscience?

As mayor, I would give everyone a free puppy, fully funded by putting one (1) parking enforcement officer at Yonge and Dundas.

IM SOBBING 😭😭 BANGARANGA BANGARANGA IMABANGARANG 🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬 Bulgaria was a lightyear away from any sort of winner conversation, but God is it a banger (pun).

If you haven’t signed the new Church St Pedestrianization petition yet, I am once again asking for your signature! This one is for the city wide council vote for May 20, so please do it before then! www.experiencethevillage.ca/petition

My train was the first to the fire. It unloaded at Islington and I managed to walk a bit, grab a bike share, then get to Jane long before any shuttle buses could. Why we don't have a subway disruption contingency that incorporates not just TTC but TPA, TPS, and Transportation Services is beyond me.
