    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I think there would be a couple of counter arguments to that. 1) Stand up to the politicians and tell them they can't have the 'nice to haves' because you have to ensure safety and that is your highest priority. 2) If you go and read the investigative reports into what happened with the...

    Alexander The Great Parkette Revitalization (Greektown BIA, FFLA)

    The sidewalk there is excessively narrow, but I would note that the CAFE TO set-up is not on the sidewalk, the encroachments are coming from the building-side. *** Not for all of Greektown, but in this particular block, I think the case could be made to: a) Remove the on-street parking year...

    407 Rail Freight Bypass/The Missing Link

    Correct, my bad. I'd forgotten that, and if you go to Woodcliffe's portfolio page, its still there, simply listed as 'legacy, complete' but not as sold. But now that you've reminded me, indeed that is the case. I'm not sure if its accurate, but Wikipedia says the LCBO is the owner...

    Toronto 140 Merton Street | 93.6m | 28s | Missanabie Cree Elders Care | Montgomery Sisam

    While I would likely value some heritage preservation more than yourself; we're in complete agreement on this particular building, which insofar as I am concerned isn't a treasure in need of saving, and its preservation here produces, to me, no discernible benefit to anyone, except maybe ERA.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Not out the question Was Andy Byford 'local'? How about David Gunn? Two of the last five or 40% CEOs (previously 'General Managers) were international imports. They were, admittedly the best two we've had in a very long time. But I think that's a higher rate of international recruiting...

    299 Queen Street West (Bell Media Studios)

    I wouldn't have looked favourably on the idea then either. * I say that as someone who appreciates the design of King, too

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Well..........I might actually say yes............but then again that might be because Andy Byford was CEO when Colle became Chair and Byford was just hitting his stride; Byford remained CEO until Dec '17, Colle was Chair from from Dec '14 to Dec '18. * Of course, Rick Leary was made Interim...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    First, we're talking about filling the CEO's job, not a Board position. Second, Councillor Saxe who is on the TTC Board is a regular rider, in addition to being a cyclist.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I would argue 'no'. But as to his CV: Past Chair TTC, and City Councillor Former Sr. VP at Ernst & Young - Government and Public Sector practice where he did act as a Transit Consultant Josh also worked for Pearson Airport (GTAA) as Government & Corporate Strategy Officer

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    To elaborate, he hasn't actually started yet............he was hired to be the Chief Strategy and Customer Officer effective July 15, 2024. ***** More poking and I've got two more keen observers also placing bets on Josh............... hmmmm. Would not be my first choice.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Leary took on the interim job on the basis (pretense) of having been Byford's Deputy CEO. That job is currently filled by Bruce Macgregor who landed the job last Sept, so about 9 months ago.......he came to the TTC from.....wait for it........... York Region, where he was CAO for 16 years...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    A bit of poking around.......... while nothing is settled, yet, I'm given to understand there maybe an 'interim CEO' before a the new permanent person arrives.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Rather overdue............. We knew Rick was on his way out last year...........the inevitable and very necessary was only delayed, not cancelled. I'm very pleased to see this departure, of course now comes the matter of his replacement, but more than that, of many of those Rick hired as...
