@PlannerSean if any planning staff are reading this tweet, can we get old weston rd and rogers rd added to avenues?
they have bus service and plenty of speeding cars... lets add the density please!
Sidewalks are fundamental to building an accessible city and providing protected spaces for all pedestrians. Through the Missing Sidewalk Program, in 2024 the City installed 4.5 km of sidewalks on several roads such as Sloley Road and Kenneth Avenue. https://t.co/aJSEvezZCx
The first segment of phase 1 of the eglintonTOday Complete Street Project was installed between Avenue Road and Chaplin Crescent, and included protected cycle tracks and pedestrian and accessibility improvements. The second segment is planned for 2025. https://t.co/FXow5IRCN8
The first phase of Portland-Dan Leckie Cycling Connections was installed on Dan Leckie Way, and included a two-way bikeway, an inset bike box at Queens Quay West, and a two-way ramp to provide a safe connection at Lake Shore Boulevard West. https://t.co/1vgYWsj8r6
New on City of Yes: here's a map showing parts of NYC where parking mandates will be eliminated (red), "significantly" reduced (yellow), & preserved (blue).
And here's a graphic by @NYCCouncil stating that parking mandates won't apply to some housing types most affected by them.
Housing and Municipal Affairs: Ravi Kahlon

Letter from CEO of Sinai Health (Mount Sinai hospital etc.) noting that the *majority* of their employees cycle to work, and they want protected bike lanes (Mount Sinai hospital is on University Ave.) https://t.co/QxKFJWRo7i (PDF) h/t @GraphicMatt
John Tory criticizes Yonge, Bloor West bike lanes that he approved.
In remarks that align with the Ford government, the ex-mayor told a talk radio host he doesn’t think the cycling infrastructure he helped install "works."

The funniest part of this tweet is Baird saying that the best thing to come out of Queen’s Park after six years of PC’s governing Canada’s largest province is a plan to rip out bike lanes.
A parent sent us a photo of their child's incredible Halloween costume earlier in the week.
So it was an honour to host them today at the mayor's office! Love the look.
Bloor b/w Ave & Spadina) is looking 🔥.
Reconstruction projects are amazing. They realize accessibility, beautification, & operational benefits.
To achieve these outcomes, the road, cycle tracks & sidewalks were rebuilt and catch basins, poles, etc were relocated. #biketo
There’s a reason they’re unwilling to actually name the side street alternatives for routes like Yonge and Bloor.
It’s because they don’t exist, at least not over any substantial distance.

1921 to 1929 was the greatest #housing boom in #NYC history. It was a time of housing plenty. However, today is a time of housing scarcity. What can we learn from the Roaring Twenties?
