Regular reminder the Toronto subway would be more reliable and better with platform screen doors
The Thorncliffe Park Costco is unfortunately car centric like most big box stores, but it’s nice to see direct access to the main entrance with good streetscape from the Overlea Blvd sidewalk! This should at least be the bare minimum for big box stores!
Really amazed with Roblox Studio! This is a VERY rough draft and I’m going to work on it in the coming days. Anyone in Ontario recognize this?
hmm? bloor street is such a good urban thoroughfare that nearly half a million people travel along it every single day, with this one neat trick!

I’m glad Toronto is building more protected bike lanes than we ever did, but holy smokes, we gotta work on connectivity!!
Ten families won’t get to live in my neighbourhood because a couple people felt the vibes were off.
You could probably apply all of this to North York as well. Although, I have to say it’s better off as there’s North York City Centre and the section west of Bayview and south of Wilson (a big chunk of it) seems to have quite a few urban qualities.

🥳🥳🥳 Great news! Thanks to all of the riders who spoke out.

The biggest examples are obviously the pedestrianized streets like Mont-Royal and Wellington, but there are so many more plazas and other urbanist transformations scattered around that you won't see unless you spend a lot of time exploring the city: youtube.com/watch?v=jM5NmJ…
Montreal does well on transit and cycling, but you can find roughly comparable successes in other cities. But its willingness to create car-free spaces, and the general culture of design/use of the public realm, feels particularly exceptional in North America.
No city in North America is doing street transformations into people-places as well as Montreal. None. It’s not even close. Every city can learn from this. Every. Single. One. The key lesson is that it ISN’T JUST ABOUT WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY (cars). It’s also about WHAT YOU ADD!
Every one of these cars is mostly empty. The cause of traffic congestion is cars.
ZERO bikes were involved in this nightly car traffic jam on Spadina. Also tonight, 100 bikes passed me on my walk along Wellington from Bathurst to Spadina. That would have been 1 km of cars if they drove instead. Those clinging to cars, you’re welcome.
A street reflects the culture and values of a city. Streetscaping is the approach to emphasize a street's role as a public space. Elements that make the experience more enjoyable are trees, seating, lighting, sidewalks, shops & more. What do Ottawa’s streets reflect? (1/2)
All around the world, pedestrian streets are fun, creative, safe and contribute to a vibrant and healthy city. And they become a people magnet- a boon for local businesses. It’s time, Toronto.
this should be Villiers Island
This is what the public ROW should look like at Villiers.
Yesterday we spoke to 500+ transit riders at Dufferin Station about "fund evasion" by federal MPs. Email your MP to fund Toronto's transit needs: ttcriders.ca/newtrains Sign up to volunteer with TTCriders at our next events: ttcriders.ca/events 📸 by @DamianDC7 #TTC
We can work with what we have. There are many streets we can pedestrianize. Toronto is a massive geographical area. MTL has created a remarkable culture shift by shutting off just 11, also in a city of 1000's of streets. There is a way!
@jen_keesmaat Problem is our city isn’t built like MTL where we can close off that many streets. Mtl actually encourages smaller, community like streets where this is doable. Toronto builds with the focus of condos but no vision for third places or anything that encourages small business

Every time I think the TTC puts out a bad service I need only look East . . . This bus route is less than 400m from the Orange Metro line most of the time, and its not even clock faced.
I've never been more optimistic that we can get WAY MORE bus lanes: -@TransLink has detailed plans and $ for it -@CityofVancouver promised 10% faster buses on 4 streets -We're approaching 900 in @MovementYVR -60!! people came to this @JanesWalkVan! They cheered for bus lanes!
It’s a beautiful day for @JanesWalkVan ! @denisagar is in his element talking about transit and @MovementYVR, and we even had a driver parked in the bus lane :)
Calgary refutes every US stereotype about what a high transit city looks like. It's sprawling. It's culturally associated with cowboys and oil drilling. To help its SUV drivers feel they are in touch with nature, its freeways are called trails. And yet ...
