Any reduction in demand from cars no longer being parked on the street will likely be more than made up for by increased bus ridership. And that means more customers.

Likely parked in garages that were used to park cars, and not store junk, for the first time in a longggggg time. If you've ever strolled the city's laneways any significant chunk of time, the odd open garage door is more often that not filled with everything but a car.

There was zero tone. If you think that response was harsh I don't think you'll last long on here.

As noted, they are probably just parking somewhere slightly further away where they aren't blocking a busy artery. It's not like there's a shortage of parking in this city.

Saw this on Reddit:
Someone in the comments claims they saw the same thing on Dufferin.
I assume this will be fixed under warranty?

Well here's a nice surprise............ The RapidTO (but we're not calling it that yet) set of improvements for the Dundas Streetcar we're amended at Council to extend the improvements to Ossington/Dovercourt depending on the direction of travel (new parking restrictions); and to make a small improvement to the University/Dundas left-turn prohibitions extending those from 6:30 to 7pm nightly, M-S.

They didn't remove the oil stains before applying the paint. It may have been too cold alsoUpdates from the Bathurst and Dufferin pages:

From the above:
I am just bringing forward the bit on transit signal priority for surface transit:
* hold it..... which City staffer lives in the Beach? How did Main 64 which passes through only 4 traffic lights on its entire route, and one of those is a right hand turn get on to the priority list? LOL

The Queensway streetcar right-of-way should have been included. Could be easily included, IF they also got rid of the "go slow" orders especially at the intersections along The Queensway. Currently, the posted speed limit is 40 km/h, which no motorist obeys, especially since The Queensway along High Park was designed and built for 60 km/h (40 mph) in the 1960s. (But most exceeded that high speed limit anyways, because they used expressway lane widths.)
