In Japan people commute the equivalent of Ottawa to Toronto (~350km straight line) in the same time it takes me from 50km away in Burlington :( I love Canada but we need to lock in on making it more commutable, especially in the GTA

Yes, the Finch LRT is too slow. I know, I rode it twice It has to move faster. I'll bring a council item to give it signal priority, and see what else we can do.

NYC's congestion relief zone is helping commercial vehicles get through the network faster. Travel times from the chart below: 44% got faster 40% stayed the same 16% got slower One observation is $9 is clearly low for the toll.

1) gas pump stickers don’t stick 2) license plates that aren’t visible at night 3) road safety signs that are too big for the poles

NEW - Cities including Toronto say the oversized signs the Ford government is making them replace speed cameras with don’t fit on standard street poles. The province will now pay for new polls to accommodate them, according to Toronto Mayor Chow.

This is great to see a layout of what's to come. Let's hope we get some timelines in the near future.

Some excellent new clarity into GO Expansion from recent Metrolinx board meeting documents on both future service levels and infrastructure work. Great to see what an excellent GO transit network Ontario will have in the future! Read more: assets.metrolinx.com/image/upload/D…

A lot of people have asked me to collaborate on videos over the years, but I don't generally do that type of project. One of the best creators I know Paige Saunders (of CBC fame) on the other hand is starting to just that. Send me a message for more info! youtu.be/zqaIJc39ExI?si…

A new modern station is opening November 16! The new Mount Dennis GO and UP Station will be opening its doors in a few weeks — and when that happens, it will bring three key transit options under one roof. Customers will be able to connect to Kitchener Line GO trains, UP…

super exciting day for Hamilton! Hoping that the future will see a short LRT extension to confederation as well


Repost di True Communities

Sources indicate that Rideau Transit Maintenance (RTM) is expected to take over the O-Train East Extension on Oct 27. News on Substantial Completion is anticipated soon to support this milestone. Pre-trial running is planned on Nov 03, one week after substantial completion.

Fun Fact: Did you know there are over 40 new GO Transit Stations proposed across the network? Once completed, the General Toronto & Hamilton Area will have over 110 GO Stations, and potentially up to 11 regional rail lines.

The decision likely won’t “open the floodgates” to similar challenges, he wrote. "Most road and traffic decisions are well-grounded in data and safety concerns, as one would expect, and are unlikely to be challenged as arbitrary." #onpoli #topoli thetrillium.ca/news/municipal…


Repost di True Communities

No, you don't have a constitutional right to bike lanes now. Governments can make decisions that harm, but when they do so “arbitrarily,” the Charter comes into play, the judge wrote. #onpoli #topoli thetrillium.ca/news/municipal…


This is great news! Congratulations @CycleToronto and all of Toronto!

Cycling advocates have won. The Ford government's plan to remove three major bike lanes in Toronto violates the Charter, Ontario's Superior Court rules. Story to come. #onpoli #topoli

NEW: Looks like CycleToronto won in court. Justice Schabas finds Ontario's law (AND version 2) to remove bike lanes infringe S7 of the Charter and is not saved by S1, in large part because the govt had no evidence to back up its claims.
