Classic TO scene. Brand new University bike lanes, built by the city at some expense, wholly occupied by what appears to be a city contracted truck forcing riders into busy traffic. The guy behind the wheel was on his phone, of course. You’d almost be disappointed if be wasn’t.

This is a straight up falsehood. Don’t buy it, colleagues.

Communities outside the downtown core deserve nice things too. Closing a world-class science and cultural institution is heartbreaking, especially when we know the govt’s real motive here is to justify Ford’s mega-spa vanity project.

So #DoFo heard from a couple of business folk how they didn’t like the UP Express train making additional stops between Union & YYZ so he announced this change. The data likely doesn’t support the change, but everyone knows #DoFo goes with his gut.

[Richard Southern @RichardCityNews]

MORE - Government also says every second UP Express train (every 30 minutes) will now be non-stop between Union Station and Pearson Airport,

@sunriserecords I placed an order back on October 27th, but it hasn’t arrived and I never received the tracking number. I sent a message via your Contact page previously and just sent another one now. How else can I contact you to follow-up?

From Philadelphia Police Department: Kelly Oubre Jr. was struck in the upper chest area by a silver vehicle traveling at a high-rate speed on Saturday night.

The car fled the scene.

In addition to broken ribs, Oubre has injuries to his hip and right leg.

In a feverish frenzy to fence-in Ontario Place, construction crews are working around-the-clock, late into the night erecting permanent tall steel fence posts set in concrete, not merely temporary construction hoarding fences.

.@311Toronto @CycleToronto @TheBikingLawyer Line of dump trucks blocking Davenport bike lane between Dupont & Bedford for condo development. It’s forcing cyclists into car traffic where 2 car lanes merge to one.

Must be uncomfortable to be an architect @DiamondSchmitt right now.

Public locked out of still unapproved Ontario Place development site. #topoli #onpoli https://t.co/ssm6sdZ3cl

The waterpark people @ThermeCanada, who have quasi-stolen the online handle of the opposition group @ONPlace4All, are trying to steal the thunder of their event. Just embarrassing behaviour.

A competent candidate would apologize, but since Brad isn’t competent.. He doubles down.

Germany just started one of the most affordable public transit offers anywhere in the world.

For just $54 a month, holders of the "Deutschland-Ticket" will get unlimited travel on all city buses, subways and trams in the country.

Do not forget @anabailaoTO and @BradMBradford voted for these cuts. Fuck the fake progressives endorsing Ana.

@shawnmicallef The washroom at Dovercourt Park tends to be closed at 8 pm rather than 10 pm. Always thought the closing time was 8 pm, but might just be a convenient time for Parks staff to close it.

[Matt Elliott @GraphicMatt]

Via @SwanBoatSteve, it’s really staggering how many spare trains, buses and streetcars the TTC has just sitting around during peak service hours. 551 buses, 81 streetcars, 42 subway trains unused. And number is set to grow with May service cuts. https://t.co/eRHv7RyHwB

@ThermeCanada Ontario Place will not be improved by putting a private spa on the West Island. It’s enjoyable year round at the moment and the residents of Toronto would be better served by a public park. We don’t need a private spa on the waterfront.

[Matt Elliott @GraphicMatt]

Up first: Ernst & Young has a report on city finances. It’s dire. Experts on municipal finance will say you generally want financial charts to show a line going up, and my analysis on this one suggests it is going… down. https://t.co/5i3ekna70Q
