The one at Queen and Bathurst looks to have also now permanently closed, the sign is gone and the windows are covered. It shut down at the start of the pandemic, so that leaves none on Queen between John and Ossignton
Are they putting in planter boxes as well? Although I appreciate the new curbs on Richmond, I wish they had kept the planter boxes instead of just putting them on the sidewalk.
I guess with all the new stations, complaints were bound to happen. Not sure what makes a bike share station so unappealing. https://www.iheartradio.ca/newstalk-1010/news/man-says-concerns-over-new-bike-share-rack-have-been-ignored-by-his-city-councillor-1.12844324
I'm glad there's a plan to deal with flooding on the Island, but I'm concerned Hanlan's seems to be left out. Anyone know if they city has plans to deal with the erosion on that beach? Every year it's becoming increasingly smaller.
I knew a GO / Smart Track station was being proposed here, but I haven't heard that it would also be a UPX station. I know many communities in the west end pushed for additional UPX stations when the line was first being proposed and Metrolinx pushed back arguing that would slow down the trains...
This article that was just posted says a new UPX station is being planned for 36 Lisgar St. First I've heard. Anyone have details to share? https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2020/02/commercial-opportunity-prime-intensification-property-sale-trendy-queen-west
They're finally expanding Bike Share to the Islands? About time! Hopefully they don't just put one station on Centre, but include Hanlan's and and Ward's too.
I briefly heard a report on MetroMorning today about a community meeting last night where Metrolinx talked about changes to the rail path over the next two years since they need to build an additional track. Anyone have more details? Will this further delay expansion of the rail path south to...
That's not bike friendly at all. Crossing Strachan on bike at any intersection is not easy. If the intention of the bridge was to provide a safer passage for pedestrians and bikes to access the waterfront shouldn't they have included a bike path along Fort York Blvd?
Interesting article in the New York Times on how the King Street project inspired traffic changes to 14th St in NYC - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/08/nyregion/14th-street-busway.html
Was the ramp on the south side of the bridge part of the original design? Reminds me of the steep ramps at the Puente de Luz bridge at City Place which aren't very easily accessed by bike.
