Per the latest column from Shawn Micallef about the latest disappointing yongeTOmorrow proposal, "If Toronto can’t pull off a proper pedestrianization on Yonge, it shames itself in front of peer cities." Couldn't agree more! Don't forget to go to the consultation on Tuesday, April 21, complete...

Thanks. I was wondering how that Pape tunnel would be dealt with. Given the construction won't be done until the early 2030's, Metrolinx needs to start planning now for the eventual northern extension to Line 4 at Don Mills.

The final design was revealed in 2020 just before COVID hit, and yet it took six years to get to the point of starting construction? This is bonkers!

Summer 2028 for the tunnelling to reach Corktown (now Distillery District)? If Metrolinx is planning to reuse those TBM's for the Gerrard to DVP tunnel, overall tunnelling won't be done before 2030 for sure.

In a way, it's nice the Davenport Greenway will be connected with the West Toronto Railpath Extension. Just wished this thing would get done sooner! ;)

Do you support the Beltline Gap Connections project? The City of Toronto will be hosting a Phase 3 consultation for Growing Marlee-Glencairn on Thursday, April 30 (4 - 8:30 PM) at 70 Ridge Hill Drive. Please attend to show your support and spread the word...

The petition has gotten almost 1100 signatures within the first few days which is decent. :) https://win.newmode.net/campaigns/experiencethevillage

Shouldn't we get back to cycling infrastructure, folks? A lot of the recent commentary here seems to be more appropriate for the general cycling issues. ;)

Wonder if anyone has checked the progress of RapidTO on Dufferin given that project website suggested work would resume last Monday (April 6)? https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/streets-parking-transportation/transportation-projects/rapidto/rapidto-dufferin-street/

The RapidTO Bathurst website issued the following update. If you're in the area, it would be great if you can report on the installation. 😉 April Update: Work on Bathurst Street’s priority streetcar lanes between Nassau Street and Bathurst Station is expected to resume the week of April 13...

WTF are those guys smoking? While there are undoubtedly some legitimate concerns over the province taking over control of transit fares in the GTHA, the idea of wanting to go back to the TTC-GO co-fare which costs $1.80 extra than the current One Fare program shoots down their credibility!

By the end of 2026, they should change the subway maps to only mark Old Mill as inaccessible and add an explanation that all other stations are accessible. Stands out more than having a bunch of blue wheelchair symbols all over the map.

It's not just you. It's an epic disappointment including the scrapping of pedestrian priority zones. The latest delay is likely triggered by the Ontario Line work near Queen.

For the Etobicoke folks out there, the City of Toronto announced a public consultation for the Elmhurst Drive and Islington Avenue Safety Improvements on Wednesday, April 15 (6:30 - 8:30 PM) at St. Stephen Catholic School (55 Golfdown Drive). The deadline to complete the survey is Monday, April...

Matt Elliott's latest Toronto Star column takes a dig at Metrolinx's management of transit projects and calls the Waterfront East LRT an opportunity for the City of Toronto (and the TTC) to show Metrolinx how's it's done. 😉...
