Brick going up on south side

We could do all that *and* develop working, viable transporter beam technology for the cost of this folly! (Yes, sarcasm about the Star Trek tech)

Interesting to see this will be a temporary (~ 5 year) location. Also, I'm sure with both a Rogers Centre and a Rogers Stadium some people will go to the wrong venue Edit: typo, clarity

Ah, caught not watching the video! Sorry about that.

I think Keesmat is reading something into the UT tweet that isn't there... The Urban Toronto tweet: "🚉 With all of its stops and stations now complete, #Toronto's Finch West LRT seems to be on the right track. #transit #development #construction #urbanplanning tiktok.com/@urbantoronto/…"

My concern about bi-directional cycle tracks is that motorists will not expect a cyclist to be arriving at an intersection from the "wrong" direction (e.g. from the right), and that may lead to some collisions. We'll see.

That's what a flagger/construction worker told me when I had to hold up for some construction equipment while cycling a couple of months ago

Views from the Millwood/Leaside bridge. First, they have cleared trees at the top of the street north of Pape above the DVP: And the future crane site:

Back to the Millwood/Pape/Donlands intersection. Most of the construction/painting there seems done, though there is still only one car lane SB. However, they have widened the bike lanes on the bridge itself, at the cost of one of the 3 NB lanes (which were never busy). Painted infrastructure...

Today, from the Leaside (Millwood) bridge

Hoo boy. DoFo wants to dig a tunnel to throw cars into for a tunnelled highway under the 401. Seriously. "Rob-Ferguson By Rob FergusonQueen’s Park Bureau Call it Doug’s big dig. Premier Doug Ford is touting a tunnel under Highway 401, possibly from Brampton all the way to Scarborough, to carry...

I remember parking in that parking lot at the SW SE corner of Front and Jarvis with my dad to visit the market. It could have been as late as the early 1980s...

I disagree, most especially with he scooters. As soon as one crosses into Mississauga, these scooters are parked willy-nilly. They are still illegal in Toronto (fwiw, as that's not enforced). There are already businesses that will rent you a bicycle. None do it with one way rentals, afaik

Or charge a fee based on gross vehicle weight, mileage, and maybe air resistance or frontal cross section (with the idea the trucks and SUVs are deliberately trying to be imposing). Would probably have to be monthly to prevent people conveniently moving to MB or QC every December

The PCPO has been brutal for Ontario's finances. Between unnecessary hits to the bottom line with pointless policies that get reversed in the courts that cost money, to stupid policies that strip the treasury of income (see removing renewal fees for license plates). The myth that conservative...

I rode through the Bloor-St. George intersection westbound on a bike this morning. I could see they were doing work on the EB bike lane as I approached the intersection. It seemed similar to those I've experienced in Amsterdam, until I hit an invisible bump on the west side of the intersection...

One of my favourite buildings (or at least the part above the base/podium). It always looks stunning regardless of the lighting and clouds

Indeed, one of the best ads for the Lakeshore West GO is watching the trains zip by while stopped in traffic. Same would be true if the Finch W (and surface Eg Crosstown) lines were faster than the cars!

Is Ford still so angry that he didn't become mayor that he wants to crap on Toronto as much as he can? Or at least on the Torontonians that he perceives did not vote for him? (Cyclists, lovers of OSC, OP...). I'm only half kidding here

So, this didn't require a photo op. But of course they needed to do one.
