Does it? Leary is missing. Will he make a public appearance? How long until the next vote?
Lilley is a lazy fool missed the main story; that Leary is being investigated, with results pending.

I was surprised to see last week's TTC meeting about Leary on the front page of today's Star, when I went to the doorstep.
Looks like the other shoe hasn't dropped yet. I wonder how many will come out of the woodwork now that the Star is digging into Leary. Will the Star get action?
TTC board approved investigation into CEO at secret meeting, sources say
CEO Rick Leary remains on the job after an effort to suspend him until the probe’s conclusion was voted down, the Star has learned.www.thestar.com
My comment is only this.........Rick Leary owns many pairs of shoes.
****
As for Chow (or her senior staff) not knowing anything about a plan to remove Leary.........
Uhhhh
Some of you know............. just sayin.

I concur with this too, as someone who has been "the cause" of two TTC disruptions due to medical incidents. Care and compassion trumps convenience. And we have a serious bystander problem on transit systems and in general.
I know there's little faith that no words get exchanged between Chow and her chairs, but I want to believe Chow is giving them a long leash to make their own decisions (that still align with what she'd do in their shoes).I was surprised to see last week's TTC meeting about Leary on the front page of today's Star, when I went to the doorstep.

No, I walked two cars down and spoke with the Guard.

Apparently Rick Leary is being investigated for bullying and intimidation of staff. This investigation was approved during the secret board meeting as per the Toronto Star.

LOL at this 503 which entered service at York already flagged to short turn at Church. TTC service is amazing!

There was some track work going on on king east of Sherbourne yesterday.
503 replacement bus would have been better.

Must be still been done as no 504 or 503 where going east of Church today. 504;s were looping Richmond-Victoria-Adelaide by Church. Assumed that 503 where using Queen by Church.
Last I saw regarding 504 detour on Sat that no westbound King pass Church until Nov 4

This has been going on for a few days and is supposed to finish on November 4th. The TTC service is a mess, see Steve Munro for details.

Read the TTC statement. King Street is only closed on weekdays and is 'normal' in the evenings and on weekends,

It's an adventure every time you board the TTC at Bay and King heading east. You have 503 streetcars, 504 streetcars, 504 buses, 501 buses and 501 streetcars, and you hardly ever know which ones will turn at Church. It depends on time of day, weather, how many cars are backed up, and the driver's mood.

No sure if TTC has done an Whoops or someone for got to do checking of the tunnel box when it was exposed during the construction of the Kipling Hub or someone botched the work that goes to the north parking lot at Kipling.
All 3 sides of the box was exposed during the construction with some work on it before being waterproof and cover up. Close to the past 3 months or so, the top has been removed for the part of the tunnel with next to no work on it. Crews been working on it this past few weeks to the point parts have seen concrete removed to get at the rebar as well a lots of orange marking on it where work has to be done. The tunnel is now block off compared to been open.
Work was started on the driveway the same time as the tunnel before moving to the bus platform with no work until a few weeks ago. The west end platform in the process of been jackhammer to get to the rebar and then rebuilt.
No photos for the platform.
Oct 28 and have some shots from today still to be work on
