Profile of #BathurstSt, a main north-south thoroughfare in Toronto. It begins at Queens Quay by Lake Ontario and passes Toronto's boundary at Steeles Ave.
Love seeing more density being provided by @VillageMirvish development and look forward to this transit oriented development in the area. Will go nicely with new @TO_Cycling bike lanes on Palmerston and add neighbours! @MoreNeighbours
These unfinished headstones were found near Bathurst-Harbord. Today, there are few tangible reminders left of this community’s former presence. Even Kensington Market, once known as “the Jewish market,” has reinvented itself." https://t.co/sGDxg6Rbmj
"[S]o much of what we know is impermanent. Expressways will come & go every quarter century, lakeshores change at the whim of man & nature, rail yards shift, factories rise & crumble. Only on these 10 acres do we walk with history.” Pierre Berton https://t.co/sW8WIqMctB #fortyork
South west corner of College & Bathurst Sts., c.1906 & 2020. The Sword Neckware Co. building in the foreground was originally the Bathurst Street School. - c.1906 image courtesy of the City of Toronto Archives, comparison with a 2020 Google Street View, compiled by @jeremy_hopkin
The revival of street life revealed how much of their own vitality cities had conceded to cars. But this sudden flowering is in peril if we give this space back to cars, post-pandemic. #CitiesForPeople#Choices https://t.co/wFfsJZKTIm
Toronto man diagnosed with coronavirus used #BathurstStation for three days last week. On Mar 4, the man also rode the 511 Bathurst streetcar. The virus is not circulating locally. Journal model says 4.4% of infections can happen on subway. https://t.co/OaxOkTNaHe #torontohealth
A curious map. The Bathurst St streetcar built in 1885 predates the Toronto Islands, when the Toronto Harbour was a bay and the Islands a peninsula. #toronto@blogto#torontohistory#streetcars#torontoroads Toronto was incorporated and named so in 1834.
This is not only true, it’s as it should be. At all times our response to COVID-19 must be guided by evidence and the experts. As political leaders our role is to ensure they have all the resources they need, to provide inter-governmental coordination, and clear communications.

Dozens of food and retail businesses as well as cultural and entertainment programs will be going on at @StacktMarket at Bathurst and Front. It will be running for nearly 30 months. https://t.co/OygJHMzCs9
I'd say 1860s or '70s. Leslieville looks like its already a going concern; Jones Avenue has been built to get around the fact Leslie St, the Second Line East, couldn't stay on grid to join what is now Donlands. And it's pre-1884 as Dawes Road still goes down to Kingston Road.
