    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    I didn't see this posted anywhere, but maybe some traffic signal experts here on UT can chime in. CTV news has a post up on a Canadian company that was left out of TSP (Finch LRT) bidding...

    Toronto Toronto | Bloor–Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Confirmed. Although removed from their site, I found an archive of a page confirming the 10-15 figure, as others have also suggested above. The main point of the post was to continue highlighting a problem with this organization: missing deadlines, inability to acknowledge events, and...

    Toronto Toronto | Bloor–Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    The original maximum they quoted was 10-15 m/day, as far as I know. That line about “this year at this pace” feels like careful wording and I don’t think Michael Lindsay was trying to mislead, but I’m not convinced their numbers account properly for maintenance time. I already started this: Am...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    That isn't what the notice says... Don't think they are burying the 230 kV lines from Pickering NGS. There are local lines in the area (pictured below). The notice also states they will bring the lines to the rail corridor. Again, this has nothing to do with the high-voltage feeder lines from...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    I ride near this and on it sometimes. It's a pretty quiet residential street for most of its length. With the Meadowway right there, it seems a bit odd to have cycle tracks so close and parallel on an already reasonably quiet street with speed limits, given all the schools.

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: Flemingdon Park Station | ?m | 2s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Maybe it’s because highlighting that area would draw attention to the work that appears to have been done in front of the Science Centre. I doubt that’s something they’re eager to spotlight, given whatever ends up happening with the property.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    Perpetuated by the fact it's hard to find good quality workmanship; which itself is perpetuated by a shortage of workers and a drive for quantity over quality... I can't tell you the number of mistakes I catch when having work done on the property. Incredibly frustrating. One has to do most of...

    Pickering Toronto | DLive | ?m | ?s | Pickering Developments | CGL Architects

    They've had since last summer. Has very specific drop off/pickup points and probably don't want the potentially disorderly crowds after events...essentially, Markville mall, Milliken GO, and Scarborough town centre.

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Some (on the outdoor stops) are already worn and tearing... Not a good look.

    Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

    To nobody's surprise NES going to try again for Ontario Liberal leadership... Also could explain the 'snub' from cabinet role (it was planned).

    Durham Region Transit / Pulse

    We're in a period of austerity here at the regional level. The 2026 budget increases (transit) revenue hours only up 4.6 percent. Haven't peeked at the full numbers yet, but doesn't look too promising...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Baffling... I never saw Don Wright or Nick Simone report to the press for Metrolinx.. It's always been Phil Verster or Mike Lindsay... For any company for that matter... Why is the TTC CEO excused from accountability and the board takes this on?

    Durham Region Transit / Pulse

    Latest DRT update continues to show decreased ridership (even when factoring out university cohort): I'm not sure that last line jives with their statement regarding poor on-time performance: So are we being competitive with automobile trips? Also, emergency repairs aside, I wonder how well...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Not sure if a silly question, but where is the TTC CEO in all of this? Perhaps not my understanding of process, but I'm surprised the chair of the board making announcements? Is that typical? I'm thinking back to days of Byford who seemed to be all over the press...not sure I remember what the...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Yes but, it won't get on record as an event. If you don't report, the city will claim there are less collisions and work contrary to what I assume you are trying to accomplish...
