It's always amazing to me how many things Toronto council proposes, motions for, and gets done in a single council session. Makes Hamilton look like a slow going court room.

Density around Oakville GO will “destroy the nature and fabric of the Town of Oakville causing significant social and civil problems in the future” ?? A loud dog whistle from the residents of Old Oakville who clearly don’t want “renters etc” nearby. insauga.com/stopping-oakvi…
If only there was something they could do to be far away from the poors
- There are 7.8 million single-detached homes in Canada. - The value of those homes has risen by an average of $370,000 in the last 10 years. That represents an increase of 2.88 *trillion* dollars. I think that's a little more generationally unfair than the deficit.

What a difference at King William and Hughson (~2012>2024)
Fun Fact: Did you know the scope of GO Expansion has increased massively since 2018? For example; the Lakeshore West Line was intended to run 7 trains per hour at 17:00 in the 2018 plan, and is now planned to run 18 trains per hour in the 2023 plan. Here is a comparison chart:

I honestly just hope this can be ratified and move on. This is exactly like last time, and I'd prefer to not see the project delayed or cancelled because of more debates, reverse votes, and politics. LRT is better than no LRT.

1) What @bikehounds said 2) Why not two way, instead of dumping more cars onto King William, a heavy pedestrian street (or even southbound one-way) 3) This area of the city sucks to bike around despite being low traffic. I regularly just cycle the wrong direction.

I do legitimately think there is some confusion about how LRT will be constructed. The construction of LRT will be done by a private consortium. Today is only about the Operator and Maintainer of the system. Who designs, builds, and completes LRT will not change based on today.

@ham_bicycleguy Despite the much needed density, I miss the art deco Kresge building.
Matt Elliott is the master of using snarky facts.
Citing survey in the report, Pasternak says “a little over half of people are opposed or neutral to this [drinking in parks] policy. Now that doesn’t sound like overwhelming support for this kind of roll-out.” Pasternak was first elected to council in 2010 with 19% of the vote.

Councillors break into applause to celebrate Councillor Stephen Holyday actually supporting a cycling item for once. In response, Holyday stands up on a point of privilege to complain that “the silliness in the chamber is becoming unparliamentary.”
@duanemurray @ham_bicycleguy Look at the width of that sidewalk. It's almost like cars did not take precedent back then.
@ham_bicycleguy Great photos, Thanks for posting! I still remember standing next to the Krege’s “ brick wall” and waiting for the #2 Barton Bus back in the day when HSR buses still travelled down Hughson street. How different it all looks now!
@ham_bicycleguy The anti-progress folks baffle me. "Stop trying to change our city!" "Stop trying to turn Hamilton into Toronto!" Meanwhile Hamilton's downtown of the past, had a vibrant 'Toronto-like' feel WAY more back in the time they clamour for than it does now.
It is so encouraging to see the new consensus among three of Ontario's four political parties in favour of shifting housing construction away from sprawl to dense, labour-efficient buildings in existing neighbourhoods. Time for the current government to get on board!
The Ford government's latest housing bill doesn't come close to addressing the historic housing crisis we're facing. Instead of taking bold action they're making small changes around the edges. And prioritizing well-connected speculators over homes people can afford. Young…
@GSawision @TO_Cycling_Ped Thankfully there's a lovely subway that runs right underneath this street for basically it's entire length in Toronto if you are worried about either of those two things.
Bloor Street West reconstruction will resume on April 22, and is anticipated to be complete by August 2024. Starting April 22, Bloor Street West will be closed to westbound traffic between Avenue Road and Madison Avenue. (1/2)
I hate to criticize the staff who are working hard every day and probably on many projects but people are dying on our streets and it seems like no one really cares.
The second set of 2024 cycling infrastructure projects have just passed (unanimously?!?) at City Council 🚲
@ham_bicycleguy This is what I noticed at every turn in this city when I visited for a film shoot in 2016, and decided to move here. At every turn... potential. Hamilton seems to drop the ball a lot to realize that potential. This... is a much needed success story. Now just lose the one-way.
