Trying to make yet another 311 quest for impeded bike lanes on Eglinton (east this time) and I find the process almost designed to push users away. Here is the first question they ask you, which requires a "yes" to proceed. So... if the items were "installed or placed by the city" you cannot...

that last step is a doozy!

Hooooo boy, don't get me started on this one. Really, don't. But here you can find out something about it in this Fixer column from a few years back. The story is egregious and involves the same business/family that holds decades of exclusive rights to food sales in High Park and the western...

Thanks for the update, boo to the continued lack of commitment as to when they are going to put in these lanes. When the weather gets warmer is both an obvious statement and one that contains no actual information. I've been emailing the councillors, mayor and EglintonTOday asking about these...

Thanks! I some of of those identical mesh panels, also knocked out of place on the Chesswood bike lane in North York last week. I'll make a 311 report on those.

That would be because I followed a link to the cycling thread, and it went to Skyrise Cities. Apologies for the off topic post!

Did they rebrand Urban Toronto to Skyrise Cities? Didn't it used to be called that? I'm trés confused. Edit: I came here from an email link about @2WheelPoli's post, and the link was to Skyrise Cities. So basically Skyrise Cities is like the global version of UT, using the exact same user...

No comparison to your amazing drone shots, but here are some close-ups from Monday, March 23. Nothing happening, though to be fair it was around 7 p.m. I included the new stairs at Dundas and the old stairs (with fresh paint?) at Riverdale just because. For the record, the old style bike...

Over a month later and zero visible progress on the opening of the southwest entrance at Forest Hill Line 5 at Eglinton & Bathurst. I also asked a station manager and he had no idea. Looks like nothing has happened either at the entrance or inside the station. Meanwhile, the TTC site for the...

"Serious concerns?" I mean, some are certainly mad. Ironically most of those NIMBY types won't be around by the time this plan starts to change the area. Do you mind sharing where you get these numbers from, as I can't see the city has specified anything so granular as numbers of buildings...

OK! Thanks. My one quibble here, even though I am all about adding more seating and rest stops along Toronto's park trails is that calling them "stations" risks some confusion with actual transit stops. Like Forest Hill Station, already exists not too far from here at Bathurst and Eglinton. In...

I'm sure this has been debated since the flexity streetcars came on board in 20XX but the four-seat cluster arrangements baffle me – and they have been replicated almost exactly on the new LRT lines. When both seats are occupied on one side, it's incredibly cramped and uncomfortable to sit...

I don't follow! "Lost Stations?" I recall seeing a few of signs on the western side of of the trail (York Beltline) that have some info about the former railway stops. They are pretty weathered, so are they redoing those? Adding more? And... why?

Also seen on Eglinton West Bikeway, west of Scarlett Road. What a shambles.

not just on the MGT. The first photo here is from Eglinton West separated bikeway, west of Scarlett road. These things were really poorly thought out and installed, though I assume you're right that plows are what dislodged them. I reported to 311. We shall see what they do. The MGT ones are...
