The committee of the whole is recommending a 1.75 percent (on total regional tax levy) bump for DRT in '25...Focusing on service enhancement/growth, transition to electric busses, and passenger amenities/infra. Down from the planned 2 percent they hoped because of police services needs (I...

If you haven't already, I recommend watching the board meeting where they discuss the RSZs (starting around the 46 minute mark). I don't think they are the same exact sections of track....since May they've removed 65 RSZs but added 85! Part of the problem is that it takes an average of 22 days...

In the last board meeting, it was made clear that as they uncover more issues with inspections, more RSZs (or ones currently in place) will appear (remain). Just because there is a RSZ, doesn't mean they haven't been fixing problems, but possibly uncovering more defects...

I went there this past week and is a nice addition to King... What used to be the Genosha hotel. Tastoria had very fresh ingredients; excellent bowl. Will return to try the tacos and Polish.

Is the sidewalk crossing under Eglinton closed? There used to be a crossing there...

Becky Katz is leaving as manager of the cycling projects team (not surprisingly after being there for the past 10 years between here and Atlanta). Full message on x:

My only (minor) gripe is that both (Moorgate) bridge, and sidewalks on the west side near Kennedy at Ranstone to link back up with the path, are quite narrow and busy in the summer. I have attempted, and failed to climb the bridge ramp with a cargo carrier without getting off. At the top, it's...

I had been posting this in the Metrolinx thread given the Toronto component and being a ML project, but I suppose makes a lot of sense here. For reference: ... The segment in Pickering village (Ajax) can get quite congested... It'll be interesting how this impacts overall service levels once...

The article is a bit light on what exactly to do... As it points out, it doesn't seem to be working. Our services to help the marginalized are very siloed (there was some recent discussion about this at the AMO conference). Even within health care itself - I will add a personal anecdote: My...

They were down below in the valley (they pointed up where the bridge will be).

A couple of quotes from premier Ford I thought were interesting from today's announcement during the q&a (at the 45min mark): While I imagine it's to late for any existing projects under construction, but something that should have been asked long before we stated digging on other projects...

You all missed the obvious clues... Allow me to sleuth: And digging a bit further... Clearly they are meeting in East York to announce and congratulate a significant milestone...

On to the next 100k. Well deserved, and shows what I'd consider (given the short time I've been here) significant contribution to the site.

^ Some schools in Durham have the lunchlady program including healthy options - some only once a week at a cost of less than $10 I believe. An example of the meals that parents can order: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dqqIWLtaTD1SRBOFybY_rEfgCk5ufAFL/view?pli=1...

Metrolinx has informed me they are now south of the 401 stopped for maintenance. They would not commit to indicating if this delays the entire tunneling (which I assume is now by several months).

Did you watch the video? The UT video says metrolinx officials remain confident the Finch west LRT will open sometime before the end of this year. So are they referencing the December 2023 statement I posted above in the city news article? If so, I don't think it's fair to say they 'remain...

Who is running the UT twitter that made the claim that keesmat retweeted?

Did he really state 3 month for Finch? I thought that was only Eglinton...

This citynews article also states they are very confident, but the quote is kind of in the middle of the page and isn't clear who said or when (in context of what they were saying last year): I imagine someone @ UT will chime in...

From the CBC article: I'm curious what this is in reference to... Spadina/University extention, Eglinton Crosstown + West extension are the only projects I can think of that have tunelling completed. The Bloor/Danforth (line 2) extension seems stalled at the 401, and the Ontario Line, Sheppard...
