A celebration for the West Scarborough Rail Trail will be happening on Saturday, January 3 (11 AM) at the historic GECO rail bridge crossing St. Clair East. If you plan to arrive by TTC, it's right next to Warden station. https://www.facebook.com/events/1461086525693146/

A lot of folks call him Bad Badford, but I find that is too polite these days. Anyway, we better get back to the Railpath topic before things get too out of hand. ;) Disappointed how it's a skating rink per @bedoozled's recent post.

I find Ass Assford is a more appropriate name for him these days given the ridiculous rhetoric coming from him over the past year or so.

I timed 41 minutes from Finch West to Humber College earlier this month, though it does seem to be inconsistent. Meanwhile, Walter used my blog post as inspiration to do his own bike share vs Finch West LRT comparison which showed the bike share being faster even after including exiting and...

I see the stretch from Burnamthorpe to Rivercove is marked as a "licensed area"? What's that about? While there is an existing path crossing Mimico Creek by Echo Valley Road, it's a bummer that you would need to use the sidewalk on Burnamthorpe to get to that path which is rather unpleasant...

Will become 63 once Summerhill opens. Wonder when in 2026 the remaining six will open? Not counting Old Mill since that one won't be until 2028.

Sounds like things will be inconsistent for quite a while given my ride from Keele to Humber College took 41 minutes. Hope full TSP gets activated sooner rather than later.

Looks like Port Union is done per a few photos shared by Sean Cooper in the Cycling in Toronto Facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1FrYqEwuHx/

With 2025 about to come to an end, I am trying to update my bike lane tracker file to confirm which bikeways were installed this year. I was able to confirm the following so far: Hallam from Bartlett to Dufferin Knox from Eastern to Lake Shore Millicent from Dufferin to Emereson Emerson from...

Since I had today off, I finally got the chance to ride the new Finch West LRT a.k.a. Line 6. To add a twist to this journey, I did a return trip via bike share to find out which was faster given early reports of the LRT being slow...

And added back some parking spaces, but you did read this correctly, @TwinHuey. In other City Council news, Councillor Cheng's motion to explore revising Transform Yonge to allow for installation without removing traffic lanes passed 20-3. Last, but not least, the West Scarborough Rail Path...

Pickering City Council voted in favour of a motion on Monday urging Parks Canada to reopen that Rouge River bridge connecting Pickering to Toronto. https://www.insauga.com/parks-canada-asked-to-take-immediate-steps-to-reopen-rouge-river-pedestrian-bridge-into-toronto/

Looks a lot cleaner than the full network map, though this would look pretty pathetic for Line 4.

Friends of the West Scarborough Rail Path also sent this letter writing campaign for people to sign on. However, some people have reported issues with it. https://www.westscarboroughrailpath.ca/email_council_dec_2025?utm_campaign=email_council_dec_2025

Went by the East Don Trail earlier today and got a couple of ground shots of the new bridge to complement @TwinHuey's aerial ones. While you can read more on my blog, I'll share the most relevant photos here.
