    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Compared to a decade ago, we've made a huge amount of progress. Still a lot of work left to do, but we've come a long way.

    Road Safety & Vision Zero Plan

    Yeah, that Christie/Bloor intersection sucks. I have to drive there occasionally to get home and I practically take that turn on to Christie at a snail's pace. What drivers don't do is (1) watch for cyclists prior to the turn, (2) shoulder check, and (3) slow down or stop before taking the...

    VIA Rail

    This is a good video and motivator for having a good rail network built in Canada. (Sigh, it'll never happen...)

    Toronto Ontario Place | ?m | ?s | Infrastructure ON

    What I struggle with is that none of these proposals make the most of the opportunity at hand. Any work to "revitalize" Ontario Place should create something that should bring tourists in, but also make locals incredibly proud. The counter proposals here are all a bit boring to me. In my...

    Toronto Oscar Residences | 37.14m | 9s | Lifetime | Turner Fleischer

    This makes me extremely sad. I was hoping for some patio space or a better retail design that would be more welcoming or promote more foot traffic on Dupont. I'm concerned that this will make an already car centric part of the city even more car centric. People living on the south side of...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Amazing! Now if they could only figure out how to stop cars from going the wrong way, southbound on Shaw via Dupont. At least 15-20 cars per day go the wrong way.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    The new bike lanes here on Shaw St look fantastic. Coupled with the direction change, local traffic has definitely quieted down. However, there are still so many drivers driving the wrong way. People in this city really don't know how to read signs.

    Toronto 888 Dupont | 61.7m | 18s | TAS | SA

    Affordability I get, but this area doesn't have much heritage left. If it did, it's not anything that this building can provide, sadly.

    Toronto The Dupont | 36.55m | 9s | Tridel | Turner Fleischer

    Shaw St directly south of there is at like 90% capacity for street parking. I'd argue that we shouldn't remove parking, but rather try and figure out a smarter way to incorporate it. Overall though, this neighbourhood lacks garages and street parking as it is, so I'd be hard pressed to...

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    I hope they are actually able to keep this place clean once it's all said and done. That new tunnel that opened a couple of months ago was absolutely filthy within the week of opening.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Admittedly I haven't traveled to many stations on the GO network, but for those that I have gone to tend to be so far away from "town". Is there a reason why these stations aren't more central or there isn't a lot of commercial development in the area? I always envision our GO network to be...

    Road Safety & Vision Zero Plan

    It's appalling that Dupont St is as dangerous as it is. I live just off of it near Ossington and the speed at which cars travel through out the day is nuts. I'm surprised I see anyone biking there, because I did once and will never again. There's definitely room for bike lanes there, protected...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Shaw St from Dupont to Dewson is subject to change with the upcoming resurfacing. The city is using this as an opportunity to improve cycling infrastructure here by changing traffic flow...

    Toronto 888 Dupont | 61.7m | 18s | TAS | SA

    I live in the area, so this is definitely a welcoming change.

    Liberty Village pedestrian link

    Aaahhh... it is finally completed after 13 years. Toronto - where infrastructure moves at snail pace.
