    Restaurant Comings & Goings

    Hopefully a Heritage Toronto plaque can be placed at the window to commemorate the history of the site https://www.vice.com/en/article/toronto-chef-butchers-deer-eats-steak-in-front-of-vegan-protesters/

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

    You are of course correct that there is physical space for this, the reason being that it was originally built as a cloverleaf as can be seen in this aerial photograph from 1965 Link to original: https://www.toronto.ca/ext/archives/s0012/fl1965/s0012_fl1965_it0108.jpg I share your skepticism...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    From Steve's article, this cause of delays jumped out at me: I assume this means they aren't operating with step-back crewing, but can anyone confirm that? EDIT: Nevermind, I have my answer from the PDF. On December 29 @ 5:51pm the description notes that, "One train stepback mode instituted."...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    If still in the state it was in then, I wouldn't do it now. I would have taken the lane and counted on being seen, but the way people are distracted behind the wheel these days I'm more inclined to jog up Power to Queen to cross the river.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Bikes can go east of Power. While motor vehicles can continue on that overpass to access the DVP on-ramp from Eastern, there is no prohibition on bicycles and I've definitely used it to access Eastern Ave from Adelaide on a bike. It wasn't great, but I haven't tried it again since ot the...

    It is still happening, searching the motions it wasn't mentioned, so it is approved as presented. For details on the project, see the "Report from the Acting General Manager, Transportation Services on Cycling Network Plan - 2025 Cycling Infrastructure Fourth Quarter Update" attached to...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    TorontoToday has a reporter who witnessed the incident: https://www.torontotoday.ca/local/crime-emergency-services/ttc-employee-customer-accused-stabbing-each-other-dundas-station-11590086 By their account the stabbing followed the customer spitting in the face of the TTC employee. The...

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

    Link to the full article: https://stevemunro.ca/2025/12/05/metrolinx-hands-line-5-crosstown-to-ttc/ Interesting that the operating hours will be 5:30am to 2:30am and will not replicate the “soft opening” conditions of 6 a.m. to 10 p.m being used for Finch. EDIT: Apparently I can't read

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Here's the link: https://www.metrolinx.com/en/news/metrolinx-and-ttc-expand-presto-access-across-toronto Key points: Despite the claim they are new, they are in fact machines previously installed at Line 3 stations One machine was recently installed at Jane & Sheppard West A second is in...

    No thanks, save the money and just sell things cheaper.

    The real question is, have they updated the transfer machine?

    Toronto Toronto | MRKT | 53.03m | 15s | Tridel | CS&P

    Fences are down, methinks it won't be long before Augusta is open. I think they are either at inspections or occupancy for the condo side, no idea about the TCHC side.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Just to derail this thread a bit further, is that a drive-in theatre on what becomes today's Sheppard?

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Mid-Humber Gap is at council today. The Weston Golf Club has helpfully provided the following graphic: I for one would like to thank them for their attention to this matter and implore all of you to please stay off of the proposed path when any hurricane force winds roll through Toronto. Don't...

    Highway 401 Transit and Auto Tunnel

    When you have a multi-billion dollar budget to build a fantasy tunnel, I'm sure there's a multi-million dollar expropriation fund to buy up any such pinch points to make room for the portals. Any time you try to take this proposal seriously, you will come up against a ridiculous trade-off that...
