I haven’t looked at that specific account, I care about my mental health too much. But someone else can make the sacrifice and report back 🤣

It's been funny to see this plan of his get posted on Instagram accounts akin to 6izbuzz and all the comments are laughing about how dumb the idea is and it would bankrupt the ttc

One of the board members yesterday moved an amendment on two motions that addressed that issue (bold mine): Direct the TTC CEO to work with the City Manager, the Ministry of Transportation, Metrolinx, Mosaic Transit Group and/or Crosslinx Transit Solutions to significantly improve performance...

There's a bunch of threads where this could go but I'll stick it here. Member's motion from The Mayor going to council next week Speeding Up Light Rail Transit and Streetcars - by Mayor Olivia Chow 1. City Council direct the City Manager, working with Metrolinx and the Chief Executive Officer...

Finch is 40m wide in some places and all of that space is either track or car lanes, whereas in that video, Paris provides loads of space for pedestrians to cross in stages if they need, either a couple metres wide or huge areas, breaking up crossings by creating refuge islands, often protected...

Where in North America uses the aggressive form of transit signal priority being discussed and proposed? I'm not carrying water for them. I'm in favour of people accurately understanding what was and wasn't said, but you seem to have a problem with that because you don't view them favourably...?

Fully appreciate these updates from the board! Just noticing people are agitated and quick to jump on things, and misunderstandings about TTC/Metrolinx are rampant Definitely feels like one of those awful technically true answers. While they do apparently use some "basic form" of TSP, it's not...

I know you're moving fast taking down dialogue but this is misrepresenting the conversations going on... No, this isn't what was said. Staff said the aggressive form of TSP -- giving transit the signal ahead of left turning vehicles -- would be new to North America. Not that TSP entirely...

This may seem like a crazy and insane idea to some but private companies exist that do this (ex: HomeVestors in the U.S.), but usually when a home has years of back-taxes owed or has fallen into serious disrepair. Could be a big social benefit for people to sell with a benefit for social good...

Yesterday was Executive Committee and it was just a quick item (ie no questions to staff, deputations, or speakers on the item), and it should now go to Council next week. It may have appeared to be council because right now one of the two large committee rooms at City Hall is under...

FIFA plans three opening ceremonies at the start of the tournament. As well as the one at the tournament-opening game on Thursday, 11 June 2026 in Mexico City (Mexico v South Africa), ceremonies will also be held before the other host nations' first games on Friday, 12 June 2026, in Toronto...

I just posted this in the TTC other items thread but probably belongs here too From Matt Elliott "Mayor Olivia Chow is introducing fare capping for TTC riders in her upcoming budget. Instead of having to decide whether it makes sense to buy a monthly pass in advance, rides will automatically...

From Matt Elliott "Mayor Olivia Chow is introducing fare capping for TTC riders in her upcoming budget. Instead of having to decide whether it makes sense to buy a monthly pass in advance, rides will automatically be free after 47 trips starting next Sept. Chow also says she plans to drop the...

Yes, it's really helpful. The very odd time it goes down, but here's the link: https://bsky.app/profile/ttcalerts.bsky.social The City of Toronto and some of their divisions have joined Bluesky recently. Hopefully the TTC follows... the most recent post from ttcnotices on twitter I see is from...

Oops, thanks!

The Toronto Outdoor Pictures Show is screening movies outside at St Lawrence Market this weekend. They usually host movies in parks during the summer, and this is their first foray into winter outdoor cinema programming. Last night they showed You've Got Mail, tonight is 2 hours of 8 holiday...

What photo ops, there isn’t even a photo of him in his post or even the article lol. All I see him post is critiques of the province and their handling of Line 5, stuff about the TTC where he’s on the board, and being out and about in his community. Comes off as a social media engaged...

I think a few months ago I sent an email, as did others, advocating the mayor to build a Museum of Toronto at Old City Hall. Today I received this email from the Office of Mayor Olivia Chow: Thank you so much for writing and for your enthusiasm about creating a Museum of Toronto at Old City...

My gut says this is an unfortunate shitty reality of Ford slashing the size of council. Everyone's overworked and going from one meeting to the next all the time, even during lunch breaks. At committee meetings and when Council meets, councillors are doing other work at the same time. I didn't...

Sorry to disappoint the narrative here but advertising revenue doesn’t seem to be in the dumpster. I took a quick look over a few minutes doing ctrl+f for advertising revenue in the annual reports and here's a sampling. I adjusted past years values to 2024 dollars. Looks like decent recovery...
