Appropriate on Krampusnacht, or Krampus Day, which is celebrated today on December 5, 2025? Watch out for birch rods. Should have been tomorrow, December 6th, Saint Nicholas Day.

The city (in fact, ALL cities) should be looking at last-kilometre (last-mile) delivery solutions. Deliveries or pickups of all kinds add to traffic congestion. Be it delivery depots (similar to the Canada Post "community mailbox"), cargo bikes, delivery zones, or some other solution, they...

As mentioned earlier, if the province rebated each commercial truck that uses the 407 with tolls, it would be cheaper than building the 413. Trucks currently using the 401 would then use the 407, as well.

Oh, the TTC is using "fantasy maps" now? Now, how about "real" maps that reflects real-time.

Oh really? Will University Avenue be reverted back to a narrow dirt road with trees that it used to be?🤣 University Ave., n. side of Queen St. W., 1870 From https://scenesto.com/2020/03/26/the-history-of-college-street-and-university-avenue/

Probably thinking they will getting rid of the centre column is "good enough". Along with narrow traffic lanes. Should have a bi-directional cycling lane on the same level as the sidewalk. Maybe a tunnelled sidewalk on the opposite side?

The UP Express is not included in Ontario's One Fare Program, which allows free transfers between the TTC and other transit agencies like GO Transit, Brampton Transit, Durham Region Transit, MiWay, and York Region Transit. HOWEVER, passengers would be able to bypass Line 1 to get to Union...

The Julian calendar is currently 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar. So If we didn't convert to the Gregorian calendar by the British Calendar Act of 1751, we would still be in 2025. :eek:

In walkable neighbourhoods, people WALK to and from bars (without parking).

Not everyone reads each and every thread.

What? No hamburger or french fries vending machines at least?

Duplicating the GO and UPX lines should be avoided, UNLESS they decide to build a forest of condo buildings (with decent family-sized suites, not the current shoeboxes).

For "safety", the TTC slows subway trains down to a crawl as they enter some stations. When the Yonge Subway opened, the trains,would come into the stations at full speed, not now. Instead of putting in platform doors, they directed the ATC or drivers to come crawl in, for "safety". Better way...

This is a result of Premier Doug Ford's fixation on the 1950's world of the "future is the automobile". Ignoring cyclists, transit users, and especially pedestrians (with or without a driver's licence). Doug thinks everyone will be driving, even the drivers with suspended drivers licences (who...

The license plate renewal price ($.¢¢) was supposed to cover the cost of the office space, staff, paper, computer, etc.. Now the cost will have to come from provincial sales & income taxes.

Before prohibition, there was no checking for age. During prohibition, the speakeasies did not check ages. It was only with the introduction of the LCBO, Brewers Retail (AKA The Beer Store), that they started asking for proof of age. Ah the "good old days". 🤣

Would like to see all transit routes have no on-street parking. However, the automobile disciples (like Mayor Doug Ford) would be upset. So how about no parking, no standing, and no stopping on the days or nights when get garbage collection? That would be a start.
