Dufferin now, without hydro poles and then with trees.

More than half of Toronto drivers in U of T study didn't look for cyclists and pedestrians before turning right 😭😭

The most frustrating example of this denialism is cities that struggle under the cost of homelessness and social housing provision not doing the free policy changes that make it easier to build homes and lower market rents - which releases pressure on the shelter they must fund!

City report on Waterfront Toronto shows the servicing cost of Ookwemin Minesing (ex Villiers) is over $700mm for the first 4500 homes.

That’s $155,555 per home. 👀

We now know that this is totally wrong. The main argument for privatizing Ontario Place was bogus.

[Zoë Coombes @ZoeCoombes]

Toronto is frozen, building nothing. We have no clearly employed leader at the TTC, Metrolinx, nor City Planning Toronto. Just fascinating. No one is tasked with responsiblity for outcomes. Canada's biggest city is stalled, with no one in a position to drive.

Tuesday, December 3, -4°C, and every local bike share dock has been emptied out by 8:15am.

Do you love grass? Toronto City planning fights “for you” to make sure you *don’t* have a nice street wall of shops and windows. Does anyone prefer legislated grass and setbacks?

[Alex Bozikovic @alexbozikovic]

Hot take: leave the vibrant main streets alone instead of targeting development to destroy them. Put housing anywhere else

[Anthony Smith @SafeStreetsTO]

"Doug Ford says only 1.2% of Torontonians commute by bike. That's not true." Great work by @jackhauen explaining all the key data we need to know about cycling in Toronto - Thanks for citing my maps!

This is aggressively stupid. It will accomplish nothing but to get people killed.

[Mayor Olivia Chow 🇨🇦 @MayorOliviaChow]

Ripping up our roads will make people less safe, make traffic worse, and put lives at risk. Full stop. I challenge the Premier to talk to people who have lost loved ones on our roads and hear their stories.

It might be hard for the province to do two things at once but, as leaders we have to —tackle congestion AND keep people safe at the same time!

As I’ve said before – the congestion in this city is partially the result of the province’s failure to deliver transit projects on time and has led to long construction delays and years of road closures. Stay in your lane, open the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West LRTs and fix the chaos at Metrolinx.

If Toronto changed its plan to allow an extra 500,000 people to live in the city rather than sprawl, it would outperform everything on this list https://t.co/0BZeCgmcM2

Are big cars “safe?” Only if you don’t really think about it… #CarBloat

[Alex Bozikovic @alexbozikovic]

The Toronto parks-maintenance audit is devastating. A $190-million budget, sloppy records and minimal supervision. "Mobile" crews who claim to spend 51 per cent of their time in parks, and are apparently doing much less.

@PatrickSiegman What do the pink dots represent? Single stair legality or slender streets?

[Alex Bozikovic @alexbozikovic]

Facadism is not great. It happens because all new development is concentrated into 5% of Toronto, while vast swaths of houses are left untouched.
