I like the name First Parliament for Corktown station, as it is the site of Upper Canada's first parliament building; the one the Americans burnt. Parliament Street is the Western boundary of Corktown, so it doesn't make sense to name it Corktown station since its a block West of Corktown...

Progress on The Esplanade bike lane Scott St to Yonge St connection.

Bike Share is my primary mode of transportation, and I live in St Lawrence, but I typically avoid both Front and Jarvis. They're just not good streets to bike on. Very hostile car traffic, and often heavily congested. I use The Esplanade or King for East/West, and Sherbourne or Scott for...

The fencing is up!

New renders on the official project site: https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/construction-new-facilities/improvements-expansion-redevelopment/david-crombie-park-revitalization-design/

Some new renders of The Esplanade's Cycle Track Upgrades to be installed in Summer 2027 to Fall 2028 are now available on the David Crombie Park Revitalization project page.

I know they’re probably restricted by code or something, but they’ve reconstructed the northbound bike lane at Front and Sherbourne in a way that will encourage drivers to park in the lane while picking up their Tim Hortons (Tim Hortons will be returning to that corner). They left enough...

I’ve reported the 3 docks that haven’t worked in the Esplanade and Sherbourne rack for over a year repeatedly. Still no sign of them fixing them. They’ve been broken so long that most locals know not even to attempt docking in those 3 spots. One of them in particular often registers your bike as...

I agree. Imagine if they used real quality masonry like the building next door. This could have been a landmark.

I’m happy to see that the parking attendant by the Novotel who was directing drivers the wrong way down a one way street to enter the parking garage, has been replaced by a police officer asking drivers why they drove past the Do Not Enter signs.

BlogTO article today: Toronto built a multimillion dollar parking garage and nobody is using it

They built a beautiful tower with a giant turd on top. Still better than the giant time and space turd across the street, but sad at the same time.

They already have those.

I don’t understand why it’s going to take them YEARS to implement a rewards program to encourage cyclists to ride from full racks to empty ones like other systems have already had for a long time. But yeah, people like to coast the bikes downhill and then find alternate means of getting back up...

Just noticed they added this very awkward diagonal intersection crossover at Market Street, forcing cyclists to cross over the path of cars proceeding straight. EDIT: In other Esplanade related news, streetcars coming to The Esplanade according to signage at the loading zone! EDIT 2: The...
