Daycare drop off to the office on a well tuned @BikeShareTO e-bike is a good way to start the day.
Who attends public consultations? Is it the single mom with two kids? Or is it the wealthy homeowner with time on their hands? Our North American consultant @jedwinmok argues for quick-build bus lanes to Toronto city council. “Paint is cheap, consultation is expensive.”

New @WaterfrontTO bridges look great at night. Well done @TheRockRipper.
I support @DianneSaxe IE10.3. When I try to report “Bike Lane Winter Maintenance Required”, @311Toronto app throws an error. 🤷
Anybody brine their garage ramps before snowfall? I hucked some salt and melting performance of slab at same temperature (max out) seemed better in spots that I “seasoned”. I love science.
People build housing. Fuel conditions for people who: -work equipment -pour concrete -frame walls -pull cables -connect pipes -finish homes Arguing public/private frameworks steals time from future workers and neighbours. Public need? Fund it.

Jessica Spieker was hit by a driver in 2015 and suffered a broken spine, brain injury and serious soft tissue damage. The woman who hit Jess appealed her $300 fine, and retained the right to drive. Jess deserves justice. Tell your MPP to pass #Bill40 TODAY! #onpoli #VisionZero
If there’s anything that’s worth celebrating it’s follow-through! looks like the city is doing some more studies with their miovision.com/scout/ camera. What’s weird to me is there’s an old permanent camera kitty corner with unclear purpose.

While driving, I watched as a Porche Taycan overtook me from the right at an intersection. From a dead stop the driver’s head jerked back as he catapulted 200m ahead before I had crossed the road in my tame hybrid. A terrifying power, all that speed and mass.
We need more montages of things being built with this music playing in the background.

One time 20 years ago a computer science professor said something wrong (a technicality) in class, so I spent quite a lot of time proving them wrong in this video, and then just kept going, as if I don't have any self-control over my approach to projects: youtu.be/Ae9EKCyI1xU
The Ontario Science Centre (Raymond Moriyama, 1969) is a masterpiece and a deeply important building. The Doug Ford government is going to abandon and demolish it. That’s shameful.

A visualization of multiple things I yammer on about all the time: Population growth along line 1 1996->2021 (left) Average family income (right) -rich areas systematically prevented growth despite sitting on top of a subway. -the lack of growth drove further segregation.
Whats interesting about this awesome site is that Line 1 and Line 4 perform way better than Lines 2 and 5, and the Ontario Line will really be a bonanza: schoolofcities.github.io/tod-toronto-19…

Would be nice to see a Toronto version but of course we can't because unlike cities in BC and Alberta, the data isn't made public.

@itsahousingtrap @jamesACgray That said, no one knows what the long term energy costs including Carbon Tax and municipal Building Performance Standards will look like. Its a huge future risk for buidings that are still burning gas.
@jamesACgray Not really anymore. Code minimum is quite good, and TGS in Toronto goes beyond that. Nearly every time I look at the cost of energy upgrades these days (from an opex perspective) it's a marginal or negative value. There are other reasons to do it, though.
