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by the Novotel who was directing drivers the wrong way down a one way street to enter the parking garage, has been replaced by a police officer asking drivers why they drove past the Do Not Enter signs.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

The Esplanade bike lanes are now complete from Scott St to Market St. Still a gap missing between Market St and George St though.

Is that why they removed the bump outs to give drivers better sight lines exiting the Novotel/Parking garage? Prioritizing Novotel over cyclist safety?

Menkes Tower.

With The Esplanade bike lanes directing westbound cyclists north on Scott, it sure would be nice to have a bi-directional bike lane up Scott and Victoria. I think it could be done without removing any existing car lanes so as not to draw attention from Ford.

The one way only bicycles excepted sign on The Esplanade for drivers exiting the Novotel has been hit by something before they even got around to uncovering it.

It kind of reminds me of the original Donkey Kong game how the sections are at slight angles to each other. This could have been a decent building if they didn't use such awful precast for it. Even just a texture like they used on the Whitfield would have looked so much better. It doesn't look...

It’s now visible from The Esplanade’s basketball court.

The Esplanade bike lanes are unofficially opened between Scott and Church. The signage and barriers are gone. There’s still countless cars going the wrong way down the street, most of which are exiting from the Novotel/Parking Garage.

The Lower East Side will soon be branded the Virtual Golf District.

What’s going on here? The same 24/7 golfing chain that’s going in at The Esplanade and Sherbourne is going in at The Esplanade and Jarvis??

Some fresh paint on The Esplanade.

It’s already fun! I was watching last night. The Esplanade is already closed eastbound between Scott St and Market St, yet still about 50% of drivers ignore the giant signs and continue the wrong way down the now one way street.
