Speaking of cops, yesterday I saw a bunch of police vehicles parked on and blocking the eastbound Bloor bike lane at Balmuto (just down the street from last week's fatal collision). Perhaps it was for some sort of emergency purpose, but that appeared unlikely since the owners of said vehicles...

Bingo! You get a star! ⭐

By the way, a quick story from my grad school days. As I was cutting through front campus on my way to pick up dry ice, a sudden convoy of military Humvees burst onto the lawn flanked by soldiers. On my way back , Ed Norton and Liv Tyler were taking a leisurely stroll along the Con Hall to Hart...

When I was in grad school working at Ramsay Wright Zoological Labs, I would take that path often on my way to/from MedSci to pick up supplies and dry ice for my experiments. Grad students like my (younger) self as well as undergrads in the sciences taking classes at Ramsay Wright/Sid Smith/Lash...

Ah - thank you! Hopefully it's a relatively simple (and quick) fix!

I noticed today that the new concrete barriers on the cycle tracks on College St. between University Ave. and Spadina (installed a couple of months ago) have been moved up against the curb. Any information on why this is the case - I'm guessing some sort of temporary measure related to the...

Apologies if this has already been shared; the city has posted a November update on the Rosedale Valley Road Multi-Use Trail Reconstruction project. Not much new information compared to the original project overview from last year, although they've updated the timeline for tender and...

Lol I was gonna say ... if I were unfamiliar with our local cab brands I would have taken it for a Popeyes-branded delivery vehicle!

Likewise - hopefully with an equally spacious back patio. My partner and I love sitting on the patio, getting our usual order of the dak galbi (chicken) and washing it down with some soju.

Wow, thanks for this update - very informative! Re: raised bus platforms, I was indeed thinking about the temporary platforms (as on King St. and a few other examples) as a stopgap until a broader road reconstruction project gets underway. Would be a relatively quick and nimble way to keep cars...

Signed! Is there a similar petition being organized for the Bloor bike lanes? I live around Yonge and Bloor and would love to petition to see raised bus stop platforms, particularly where Bloor meets Church and Jarvis since cars constantly use the bike lanes at those intersections as left-turn...

I will sheepishly confess to being a "dock-slammer". I intend to amend my practices now that I'm armed with this new information! Hopefully I haven't stressed too many bumpers! (I otherwise try to take good care of the bikes) Great thread - thanks! By the way, is there any way to tell at a...

Looks like Dundas and Simcoe.

Hi all, Longtime lurker (I used to have a profile/account a decade ago but the username/password have been lost to time). I don't believe I've seen any info about the Rosedale Valley Road Multi-Use Trail Reconstruction project on this thread and I believe the project page on the city website is...
