One can dream in Ontario regional express train running smoothly at 190km/h: The tracks are so well built that there are no vibrations. We get DB to run GO trains, but can we get their engineers as well?

Why is this street even open for car traffic?

Regarding the utility cut on Wellington St. This morning I’ve asked the supervisor of the Pro Cut limited executing that work if the pavers a put back in. She said yes all will be restored. Hope it’s true!

They took Rex away (German shepherd dog). I wrote the Moise office to request repair. Was more than just paint. Some had paint sprayed at them, etc. Poor dogs with poor maintenance!

Many of the dog sculptures need urgent repairs. Sad!

The butchery of the once beautiful sidewalk:

@kotsy why so low quality and so cheap new built bike lanes? So much space to design it way better!

Talking exterior. The Salmon Run fountain is still a disaster. Will there ever something done about at such a prominent place?

Now with the full rail laid.

Transit and traffic signal activated today. Do you think any of those drivers care or obey signals? Not to the slightest. I don’t know if those guys have obtained a real drivers permit or have been riding a camel somewhere before.

Overall the probability of Chow winning did practically not change: https://338canada.com/toronto/ Update of the two polls above will be added today!

@DSC - glad to hear that the BIA is supportive of more pedestrian space. I think there is much more that can be done. E.g. a Christmas market around the SLM. Last week, I contacted Chris Moise’s office re several public space deficiencies. South of the St James park the flower planters are an...

@DSC thank you very much for the heads up. Glad to hear. It’s sad that it’s so late. Yorkville did it weeks ago to close a side street to cars and reserves it to pedestrians and patios. I’m confused that the BIA has no information on their webpage re pedestrianised Market street...

Meanwhile a few kilometers north in Yorkville. Over a month customers of “merchants” on Bellair St. enjoying a pedestrian only space. Including high quality seating furniture - donated by various cooperations!

@PinkLucy - 311 will not do much. I wrote our city councillors Moise. His office said it’s expecting to go forward to pedestrianise Market St. Today the road sign equipment to close have been placed to the north east corner of the entrance of Market St. Late, but it’s something. By talking to...
