    Durham Region Transit / Pulse

    I'm disappointed not to see at least one route targeted to go to every 15M service mid-day. That said, I do think the consistent span of service on major routes, as outlined in the slide below is important: IF you want people to consider transit in lieu of a second or third car, the bare...

    Canadian Tire

    What's a line? Seriously, much past a 1-2 person line up, I don't do lines for pretty much anything. I can't quite figure out why people abide them.

    Canadian Tire

    I agree w/the sentiment, but I will say, when they go heavy promo on pots and pans, the prices are industry best. But as you note, when they are not on promo, they are among the industry worst. *** They do have some more consistently priced aisles, things like cleaners/soaps, a lot of...

    Toronto 150 Queens Wharf | 140.93m | 37s | TCHC/CreateTO | Karakusevic Carson + Teeple

    Maybe. I don't have the numbers their using, but I might be tempted to read this as the Vienna model. Design a building to attract high-end of full market rent, use the extra $$ and high occupancy to subsidize the affordable units. If Vienna can do it, so can we. Thank you. Much...

    2026 Toronto Mayoral Race

    1) That the tax increase is clearly not her 'signature' initiative. 2) That because City taxes are non-indexed, unless an increase is voted, its unreasonable to count the entire increase that way. A real increase, similar to bumping the rate of income tax or sales tax is a fairer way to...

    Two of the four members of I&E ctte are also on North York Community Council which is meeting today. That conflict likely to determined the impossibility of convening today. Cllr. Peruzza is also on the Exhibition Board which is also meeting today. Fletcher (chair) would have a conflict...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Given the current situation, who knows how these things will unfold, but York Mills Rd east of Lesmill is in the cue for cycle tracks in 2032. That doesn't intersect the existing trail but would be a logical opportunity to piggy back work. I realize sooner would be nicer; just thought I'd...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    As of the 2025 City Budget, the bridge was funded for construction in 2027 (1 year project). Digging around.......the project appears to be under consideration for advancement to the 2026 budget year. No guarantees!

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Ok..... that's it. I'm sicking @TwinHuey on the Cliffcrest Scarborough Village SW Residents Association! I'm going to post their submission on the Kingston Road improvements. https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2025/ie/comm/communicationfile-199440.pdf From the above:

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    This took a bit longer than it should have......but there's a new voice on Bsky that will let you get a tiny bit of the news and information I and @TwoWheelPoli share .....maybe 40 seconds faster, if you're quick. https://bsky.app/profile/cyclingpedestrian.cityof.toronto.ca

    All the permits that should be in process here are..... save and except 1. There is no demolition permit pending for the existing building.

    Alto - High Speed Rail (Toronto-Quebec City)

    For those suggesting no downtown stop, for Alto, that's not on. (or at least no one I talk to is taking the idea seriously). (at Union remains the most desirable spot by far, but other options can't be ruled out entirely) For those suggesting only a downtown stop, that's also a 'No'...

    Spaces (former WE Charity HQs, 345 Queen St E, TriAxis, 3s, Kohn Partnership)

    Completely and utterly disagree with this unfair slagging of Library and misrepresentation of the facts. The site beside SLM was not ideal. It had long been contemplated as a park/public square........but the provincial decision regarding the Ontario Line took that first choice site off the...

    Toronto 11 YV | 221.91m | 66s | Metropia | Sweeny &Co

    Appearances are invariably a subjective thing I just reviewed the last several pages to see people's takes and I would call the reviews 'mixed bag'. A few liking it, a few less so..... a lot of 'could be better, could be worse'. I feel like I'm in that last cam. It does not live up the...
