Given the current situation, who knows how these things will unfold, but York Mills Rd east of Lesmill is in the cue for cycle tracks in 2032. That doesn't intersect the existing trail but would be a logical opportunity to piggy back work. I realize sooner would be nicer; just thought I'd...

A piece on the above from the Star, noting that the first of the phase 2 buildings will go ahead without any private sector partner assisting in the cost via condo sales...

As of the 2025 City Budget, the bridge was funded for construction in 2027 (1 year project). Digging around.......the project appears to be under consideration for advancement to the 2026 budget year. No guarantees!

For all intents and purposes, yes. Proposed locations are submitted to Councillors' offices for approval.

Ok..... that's it. I'm sicking @TwinHuey on the Cliffcrest Scarborough Village SW Residents Association! I'm going to post their submission on the Kingston Road improvements. https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2025/ie/comm/communicationfile-199440.pdf From the above:

This took a bit longer than it should have......but there's a new voice on Bsky that will let you get a tiny bit of the news and information I and @TwoWheelPoli share .....maybe 40 seconds faster, if you're quick. https://bsky.app/profile/cyclingpedestrian.cityof.toronto.ca

Completely and utterly disagree with this unfair slagging of Library and misrepresentation of the facts. The site beside SLM was not ideal. It had long been contemplated as a park/public square........but the provincial decision regarding the Ontario Line took that first choice site off the...

Minor tweak for ya. ;)

Appearances are invariably a subjective thing I just reviewed the last several pages to see people's takes and I would call the reviews 'mixed bag'. A few liking it, a few less so..... a lot of 'could be better, could be worse'. I feel like I'm in that last cam. It does not live up the...

Its worthwhile to link to Reece's work..........but I can't say I agree with him. i would go into that, but I'm not sure that there's great value in that as I've expressed my opinion on this issue previously. Suffice to say, I don't this his assessment here is accurate.

The floor plate is already at 825m2 for most tower levels, the City would be keen to grow that. As for the south, that block is already planned out by another applicant and not massed in a way conducive to that approach...
