I’ll say this again: Stratford, Ontario deserves GO service. Even if GO’s London pilot is ending, extending the Kitchener Line to Stratford permanently is logical and has the ridership to support it. Get it done @Metrolinx, @GOtransit, @Rae_Matt, @PrabSarkaria.

After visiting Montreal, it's still WILD to me how bad the métro+Gare Centrale transfer is. I get intrusive thoughts: Working out: "wtf were they thinking?" Washing dishes: "I can't believe that's what they went with." Falling asleep: "SO glad I don't put up with that every day."
@SethLikesTrains @MonarchWolf @clmarohn Live shot of NJB improving Amsterdam’s urbanism and city design.
Stuck on a VIA train literally feet outside Coteau, at a red. Thank you @CNRailway controllers, and thank you @VIA_Rail for the fact that our train left Ottawa 20 min late and probably missed its slot at the junction. On a Venture train too. What a glorious future - world class.
Elevated Rail is so loud and disruptive, nobody would want to walk near it!
My condolences to whomever had to fall and break their leg for the city or the construction firm to finally do something about this ridiculous maintenance hole. Those who walk this stretch of Yonge near Carlton will know exactly what I mean.
I wish I could "like" this 100 times.
Canada's "empty" dwellings aren't really a big city problem. They're more of a thing in a) rural municipalities and b) communities where single-detached units are effectively the only option. Toronto (in orange), is far from either of these.

"It is high time for the City to stop lane-by-lane consultations. We have a Cycling Network Plan and we need to empower staff to follow it." 👏👏👏 @benwedge
Never forget, electric cars are here to save the car industry, not the planet.
Our cities hand over a sizeable chunk of their land mass to 16.7 sq. m. vehicles that carry—on average—1.5 people each, and sit idle 92% of the time. Amsterdam’s Quellijnstraat illustrates the possibilities when curbside car storage is suddenly returned back to the public realm.
It’s difficult to overstate how growing up in suburban Ontario influenced our life’s work advocating for reducing car-dependence and -dominance. Returning decades later, and seeing transformative changes happening on the ground, inspires and assures us almost anywhere can do it.

Just wandering my neighbourhood thinking about how we have to tear down 12-storey buildings to build 35-storeys for more housing and bus kids further because no one has the political courage to tell the 56 Toronto neighbourhoods that have lost population since 1971 to change.

At the @APTA_info conference, a Vancouver, Canada public transit planner said that they keep increasing frequencies to address overcrowding, but it just induces more ridership so the crowding comes back. We haven't begun to saturate the market for fixed route bus service in…
@QuickintheSix To be clear, DB isn't praising the current system, but the expansion project. It unfortunately does seem the RH line will be shit for a really long time though

Sure, it's a funny photo op. But to everyone who's clowning on this, just remember that NYC only started putting their garbage in bins LAST YEAR.
Mayor Chow examines one of the improved street bins, 1000 of which will be trialled. Wonder if the bigger openings will lead to more dumping

@hardly_okay @CityNewsTO @oliviachow The highways are a provincial responsibility. As noted in the article this is being led by the MTO which is a provincial ministry. This has nothing to do with Toronto’s mayor. So check with @fordnation

Many live by the principle leave better than you found it. In Toronto we live by the principle, leave asphalt, everywhere. The advantage of interlocking stones is that they are easy to replace. Why does Toronto accept this from the contractors???
