Tory is a classic “lead from the rear” politician. He sees where public opinion is, and makes nice noises on the topic at hand (Have you heard him speak? He makes James Joyce sound concise and clear in comparison) with minimal followthrough.
That's where he talks from, too.
If they're stuck in the intersection and their light turns red certainly you could automatically ticket them?
This might need a provincial law change, though I remember something was passed a year or two ago
We could. A car is not allowed to proceed into an intersection before it can clear the intersection. I know that this rule isn't followed much in Toronto, especially at intersections along Spadina, like King, Adelaide and Front, which often backs up the cross street at every light cycle.
Do you live downtown? Rush hour is nearly perpetual here.
If one lives downtown, there is no need to drive an automobile. The rush hour congestion is caused by the single-occupant automobiles from the 905, even though they can get downtown by TTC, the GO Trains, or even UPX.
I agree. But my point is that allowing parking on streetcar routes, particularly downtown, at any time is no longer viable.
Most new buildings include underground parking for tenants, visitors, delivery, and contractors.
Visitor parking for new buildings downtown? That's rare I think, most visitors have to use Green P or street parking; heck for my office building visitors would need some kind of card to open the door. And deliveries all come through the front door, not the loading bay (despite the signs ... though I have no idea how they'd get the loading bay to open). Lots of contractors park on the street as well - unless they are looking for "free parking" in the loading bay.
Jarvis is particularly bad. A little enforcement would go a long way.
