@311Toronto there’s a branch in Orchard park right near the playground that seems to be getting droopier. It looks pretty dangerous if it would fall down, especially since it’s near kids. I’m no arborist, but would be nice to know how solid it is as we go into winter.
@311Toronto the new signpost at Raindrop Plaza at Coxwell and Dundas looks great! But the directions seem kind of wonky e.g. rouge River is basically backwards
@observinthecity I remember some moment in history where I think Peruzza was concerned about a moment where the LRT might go faster than cars, and how upset that might make people.
@tweethue I’m trying to fix my tap switch light and it seems like it’s been obsoleted. I can’t find it in your support site. When I try to select or add new a blank page shows up in-app. What other Hue hardware/software should I expect to stop working?
@ChrisSpoke Can we please start with congestion pricing, supporting transit (and not general revenues)?
I agree that tunnels are cool, but tunnels are more valuable for: trains, pipes, wires.
@alexbozikovic@cityoftoronto Ontario Traffic Manual seems to place more importance on obstruction of other signs than pedestrians when determining appropriateness of Portable Variable Message Signs.
@PolesWires Update: they have now added a significantly taller pole than other poles at intersection, with very different architectural treatment, at an arguably very visibly touristy place. Will these bizarre park signals get transferred to new shiny pole? Only time will tell.
@inHrEye@PolesWires Is there a reason why a beg button when pressed doesn’t instantly start a countdown (perhaps one longer than typical). So frustrating when you push something and have to guess if something has been actioned.
@Markshawtoronto@Ramsey_Kilani Oh man that’s some good data right there! Thanks!
I was thinking about per rider usage: distance per trip, if overall km are concentrated to few users or spread flat and if so what distance.
That School of Cities is putting in the work!
@Ramsey_Kilani@Markshawtoronto I am curious if bike share has some data around users’ travel, like some kind of fun Pareto: all time, last year, winter/summer.
@itsahousingtrap@jeffranson Fair enough. I look at stuff from straight energy perspective that’s from 70s, 80s, 90s mostly - either original or having gone through 1 generation of performance based rebuild. Carbon pricing expectations have made tenable retrofit tech which is common in new build.
@itsahousingtrap@jeffranson I’m not sure what sized electric boilers you have experience with but converting multi-MW of fossil gas heat to electric while maintaining operation is not straightforward. Space, grid capacity, voltage (2+ yrs for big transformers) are major challenges.
