Congrats @MattPinder1!
It's been a good week.
It's been a good week.
The new alignments of Cherry St and Commissioners St will open on January 24, including the bi-directional multi-use trail on the west side of New Cherry St, and new bikeways on Commissioners St between Cherry St and Saulter St. #BikeTO

I've seen this sort of comment a few times. Love the word "stroad" or hate it, giving things names helps us organize our thinking. You could say "high-volume, high-speed, multi-lane undivided arterial with high access frequency" or just call it a stroad.

Island platform bus stops: great for people cycling, challenging for people with sight loss. With this in mind, @CNIB led a study to understand the impacts and recommend how to mitigate them. Proud to have worked on this project with my @WSPCanada colleagues.
We’re adding permanent separated cycling facilities to several streets including Erb St and Bridgeport Rd. We’ve evaluated the options, heard from the community and are ready to share the details! Join us on Nov 16 at 6:30 pm for a virtual public meeting: engagewr.ca/WaterlooCycling
Road safety improvements are ongoing at the intersection of Bartlett Ave and Davenport Rd, with the construction of new, accessible bus stops and platforms, and sidewalk upgrades. Traffic signal installation and relocation of the TTC bus stop are scheduled for next year. (1/2)
There's a new protected intersection guide in town. The Ontario Protected Intersection Guide is hot off the press and full of new innovations. A🧵covering some of the highlights: /1

I often get push back on NACTO's estimated capacity of 7,500/h for a two-way bikeway. Sounds high, right? Here we have 41 cyclists (one direction) in 28 seconds. 5,271 per hour. Double that for two directions, and you're well above 10,000/h! Bikeways: an efficient use of space!

Hot off the press! #OBS2023 attendees, stop by the @WSPCanada booth to get an advance copy of our new thought leadership paper on Complete Streets.
The City is proposing changes to the design of several streets in Kensington Market, including Augusta St, Kensington Ave, St. Andrew St, and sections of Baldwin St and Nassau St, with the goal of improving safety and making the area more pedestrian-friendly. (1/3)
Kudos to @HealthyCityMaps and his team for these changes. An important step in the evolution of GO from point-to-point service to building a true network. Route 17 is about more than Hamilton to Waterloo - it's also Oakville to Guelph, Kitchener to St Catharines, and much more.

My French tutor said I need to read more books but I’m not at an adult level of French so here I sit with a café au lait and my very own French-translated copy of Captain Underpants
Some news. I’m thrilled to share that I have accepted a new job as Chief of Staff at Waterfront Toronto. Values driven, community-based, and in partnership with all three orders of government and the non-profit and private sectors – it's city building at its best. I can’t wait.
Another submitted request: “Can we have a shout out to the City of Kingston workers who helped keep roads shut down safely and assisted in keeping everything running?”
Je viens de finir mon 4e cours de français ici. Un an et trois mois Valait-il la peine? Absolument.
New Janes Walk Idea
Perks points out Toronto offers walking tours of things like parks and ravines, art galleries, the waterfront, museums, and food. “Do you know what there isn’t? A parking lot tour.” “It is not a successful feature of an urban city to have a lot of surface parking lots.”
Interesting #HamOnt mountain perspective...when the Claremont was built, Upper James was intended to be 4 lanes one-way north & West 5th 4 lanes one-way south... Would mountain residents support one-way highways through their neighbourhoods right now? I don't think so.
More predictable, formula-baked pieces like this compromise the integrity of local journalism. Facts don't seem to matter. This highway would never be built today because it kills & injures human beings, by design. "Brace Yourself" for more yawns.
I think a lot about the manager I had who was convinced I arrived to work super late and left super early, “because I never see your car in the lot” She tried to use this against me in an annual review I didn’t drive to work Arrived 2hrs before her, left 2hrs later (7-7 day)
@bmdoucet It's typically good practice (and respectful) to quote or mention the person you are talking about - if one's intention is to have a conversation/discourse and obtain accurate information or provide useful feedback. x.com/inhreye/status…
This is due to the Mx bridge workzone that had lane shifts btwn Dundas & Symington for years. The original #BikeTO design, and what will be installed very shortly, maintains the buffered lane to the intersection and concrete separation everywhere except at the bus stop.
An exciting milestone. Learn more about how we flooded the new river in the Port Lands here: waterfrontoronto.ca/news/how-were-…
The pumps are off! Give or take a few centimeters, the river is full to Lake Level.
Thrilled to see a big step forward on fare integration. Finally transfers from TTC to GO and 905 agencies without paying a double fare. Exactly what we need to get people back on transit. Proud that my work at @TorontoRBOT helped move the needle on this. news.ontario.ca/en/release/100…
#topoli A river runs through it. Checking out @WaterfrontTO’s almost miraculous construction of the new Lower Don. For those with long memories, this is about where the 2008 Olympic stadium wd have stood. We lost the circus (✅✅) but gained so much more.
Toronto Port Lands river flooding coming along well!
Finally got a chance to chat with @inHrEye and to thank her and her colleagues for all of their work, particularly with regards to the development on innovative quick build materials that have sped up the implementation of bike lanes across the city. @TO_Cycling_Ped
In 2026, roadwork is planned on parts of Ellesmere Rd between Orton Park Rd and Kingston Rd, which provides an opportunity to review the street for changes with the goal to improve safety, accessibility, and operations for all people using the street. (1/3)
Really excited for the future of Toronto’s waterfront!
I don't imagine I'll have much competition in this category.
Congrats @jnyyz, the first person to cross the new Cherry St bridge on a tandem bike with a skeleton! There are still lots of ways to be the first to cross the bridge in a unique way – share them with us using #PortLandsTO.
