Strøget is incredible. There's a wonderful story about it I once heard that goes something like; When Copenhagen proposed the idea business owners were outraged, protesting "Copenhagen isn't Italy, this will not work here!" Some involved in the plan even received death threats. But the city...

There is an information and engagement page on Toronto Centre Projects' website: https://torontocentreprojects.ca/en/projects/church-street-pedestrianization-pilot They have a survey...

Partial Line 2 closure for the weekend has been cancelled

The story got pretty funny after discovering the resident interviewed spoke in opposition at CoA where it was refused and then this piece with CityNews came out the day after TLAB approved it lol And we can laugh even more at another story involving Modcity...

Far from new but I saw a photo yesterday and was reminded to ask... does anyone know what the metal barriers/fencing on the west side of University is for, I think it starts just south of Dundas and goes past Armory St? There have been times where I'm cycling south and want to turn left onto...

I tried using it when I wrote that comment, figuring if I'm going to berate the idea in the first place I shouldn't just make assumptions, and you're completely right. It uses AI (an LLM), but it also only prompts you to provide a photo (required), a location (required), and write some...

I don't walk by as often but I've noticed even slight winds feel amplified while walking on east on Dupont past Galleria Rd on the west side of the community centre. I walked by on a windy day last week and was shocked how strong the winds were approaching the Galleria 1 & 2 and while walking...

I think we should ask whether working hard and increasing costs to keep pedestrians and cyclists separated is a worthy goal, specifically for areas we're making pedestrian priority. They’re both groups of vulnerable road users who aren’t threats to each other like motor vehicles are, despite...

Assuming there's at least one person here this applies to... at Infrastructure and Environment Committee Councillor Saxe today put pressure on transportation staff about the high fee for transit signal timing for the purpose of research in aid of reducing congestion, saying, "we clearly have a...

Are you saying if Toronto had half a brain? Because Toronto itself contracts a company to operate bike share, it's been Shift Transit since 2017. It’s not like it’s the city's idea to license out

Hmm are we going to see the gov make some more noise this week to distract from this? Bill 97 has passed its second reading and is heading to committee. https://globalnews.ca/news/11766275/ontario-freedom-of-information-changes-ipc-response/ Ontario’s transparency watchdog is renewing her...

Some workflows may involve a request being resolved/completed/closed in the system because the department responsible work aren’t integrated and there isn’t a process to track the work within 311 to close it once work is actually done. They might have an SLA that they would unfairly get punished...
