Christ. No service on large chunks of Line 2 & Line 5, just 2 hours of a FIFA game. Was biking along Bloor & the street/shuttle buses were a shit show. Tbf it’s not TTC’s fault, line 2’s a track injury (city needs to fund platform screen doors), and line 5 is crosslinx’s fault (signal problems)

I’m so tired toronto.citynews.ca/2026/07/02/j...

On Monday, I announced my plan to speed up the 506 College streetcar with modern track infrastructure, dedicated space, and signal priority 🚊 I was joined by @chanface.bsky.social, who co-led the development of this plan, and Josh Andrew, the owner of Agenda Cafe.

We should all be concerned and angry about the police demands for more money on things that should just be part of their existing job. Negotiating the base police budget is tough because of the system, but we should really demand that it should cover all these items.

My @thestar.com column: Toronto's not the only city in the world. It's true. I swear. I looked it up. And a lot of these other cities, it turns out, have car-free streets. With clear examples to follow, we REALLY don't need to make pedestrianization so complicated www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

The recommended Tik Tok search for her being “Tate McRae yelling at her assistants” 😭😭

Routes 32 and 34 reported 52k combined daily ridership in 2024. Line 5 is reporting 75k (⬆️44% - not including remaining routes 32 and 34 segments) Route 36 Finch West reported 40k daily in 2024 but Line 6 is reporting just 25k (⬇️38% - not including Humberwood segment replaced by route 906)

Canada Day is an apt time to think about the state of Canadian rail! Come listen to @ardenenglish.bsky.social talk about his beautiful trip along landscapes on VIA Rail’s The Canadian route, and the upgrades/replacements needed to sustain this route loved by tourists and essential for locals.

My shirt yesterday from painting in the 34C heat 😀😀 This is why I opted being shirtless lol

😀😀😀 Oh!!! Um… 🐮🐷🐔🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Trying out video content! Be nice, I threw this together in literally 2 mins. Trying to combat my perfectionism and just throw stuff out there! Wanted to just document our progress on Church Street’s Pedestrianization Pilot thus far!

It's looking so good 🥹🥹 we decided to paint by the colour of the business/their choice

34°C thirst trap PSA: please walk your bikes, e-bikes, and scooters through the Church Street pedestrian zone! Montreal also does this. (Putting up laminated sheets while we wait for bigger signs)

Navigating the PATH to get to lunch today… wish me luck and tell my friends I love them if I go missing!

Official UN account using AI slop. We’re so cooked. On a post about sustainability. The transit picture doesn’t even make sense—people standing in front of the bus, messed up lane markings, weird bike lane. Could have easily just used a real picture.

It’s refreshing to see a candidate listen to experts on best practices—double point switches, dedicated lanes, left turn restrictions, and unconditional transit signal priority, among others. That’s why I stood by @gabeblanc.bsky.social today as a transit advocate alongside a local business owner.

Had an amazing team of volunteers help build the patio fences today on Church Street! What colour should we paint them? We finished all the patios south of Maitland but still need help building 5 North of Maitland. Come volunteer anytime from 9am-2pm tmrw! Link below!

Toronto’s streetcars are the slowest in the world. The 506 College is among the worst of them. But we don’t need to reinvent transit to fix it. Real signal priority, modern track infrastructure, and dedicated space can #FixThe506 🚊

Help us redeploy the street furniture Monday after Pride on church street! Shifts available at 8am and 12pm! I’ll try to be there 12pm noon during my lunch break! Sign up here: www.experiencethevillage.ca/volunteer?ac...

Was so fun marching at pride! Thank you @tosoarch.bsky.social for inviting me and creating these amazing signs of green spaces/places’

Got to talk to Toronto Chief Planner @jasonthorne.bsky.social about the city wide framework to implement pedestrian streets and his experience with pedestrianization in Hamilton!

Every pride I have is more insane than the next

TW: IntegrityTO tent on Church St for Pride… (friend sent me this pic, do what you will with this info)

Happy Pride!

Happy Pride from Bike Share Toronto!!

via @cbcnews.ca " #Toronto is one step closer to having permanent #carfree streets. Less than a week into a pilot project on Church Street, city councillors voted to explore other zones that could be closed to traffic " with @joshmatlow.bsky.social & @chanface.bsky.social #openstreet #topoli

I was biking crawling up past cars to an intersection today, my shoes brushed against someone’s car, and he started yelling at me, followed me told me to pull over, so I did, & he walked out the car & realized there was no damage, complained about how cyclists don’t have insurance and then went off

Anyways, here's some coverage by the CBC on Toronto City Council voting in favour of expanding car-free streets! I'm at the end (2:09) talking about how the city is too risk-averse and that every other major city in the world has figured out pedestrianization –– and we can too!

Another just factually wrong statement by IntegrityTO is that it's "taxpayer money" It's funded by the BIA, section 37 funds (developer contributions), in-kind donations from community organization, private sponsorships, and grants. It’s on the website as well (www.experiencethevillage.ca)

This project is funded by in-kind donations from community organization, private sponsorships, and grants. It’s on our website. So if you read this, help make it known. On the contrary, the City made the process extra difficult for us.

Also important to note that they’re taking the budget out of context. The City is not paying for the project. The BIA is carrying the costs like any other event organizer because there’s no way to look at this other than through the street events framework.

Since the pigeons are visitors do they deserve free parking?

Is there a way to leverage nanotechnology to discourage pigeon feeding?

Edible mullberries at bikeshare station!

Bradford not present to vote no lmfao

Quick video of Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin's driving-while-talking-about-road-safety moment at Council.

IntegrityTO keeps on making the stupidest videos about the church street pedestrianization and I’m really angry honestly. They even blocked me for calling them out on misleading videos. First by saying there’s no garbage cans and then saying it’s overbudget without mentioning it’s because of police

Did an interview on Tuesday with CBC about the Church Street pilot! Apparently it airs sometime today and might be a news article too :)

Guys… im already exhausted and pride weekend hasn’t even come upon us yet 😭😭💔💔 I fear im not gonna make it..

Toronto seriously needs to get event security costs under control which are responsible for tripling the Church Street pedestrianization pilot costs to $500,000! And to think TPS initially asked for $3M for paid duty officers? They get too much funding as is! #TOpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/cit...

The police demanded full time paid duty. The greatest legal shakedown in Ontario. www.thestar.com/news/gta/cit...

I dripped some condensed milk from mango sticky rice onto my iPhone on/off button and now it’s getting harder to push 😭😭 Yes I got mango salad and mango sticky rice and fresh rolls with mango

Sir, a second city just hit the train www.durhamradionews.com/archives/214...

Staff recognize the “growing demand” for pedestrian streets but it “seemingly fell through the cracks.” 😐😐😐

Some of Toronto’s new architecture is actually kinda interesting

The way this zig zag isn't even an exaggeration.

Starting Monday, June 22, service on the Line 5 Eglinton LRT will be enhanced during weekday morning and afternoon peak periods, with trains operating every 3 to 4 minutes. www.ttc.ca/riding-the-t...

just dealt with someone dealing with abuse and I couldn’t help him at all and felt terrible, he doesn’t want to stay at a shelter (understandly) but doesn’t feel safe at home & victim services didn’t do shit I’ve always known the system is broken but seeing it fail in real time is heartbreaking

The basketball tree in action!
