This photo doesn’t show it but some pieces of the bronze crown have also gone up. Will try and snag a pic tomorrow!

The city posted a video of the new ferries being built

Looked better with balconies to be honest

The documents linked a few comments up mentions that they’ll start Phase 1 of Bike Angels in the first half of 2027! So still a lot of waiting to do

From my understanding they’re going to bring over the smaller baskets from the current e-bikes. So we won’t be getting the larger basket at all

The 2026 Bike Share Operating Plan (PDF) gives us our first look at the new e-bikes coming this year, unfortunately the document says they're bringing the "smaller baskets" from the old e-bikes to deter tandem riding. Absolutely ridiculous that we can't even fit a gym bag into these baskets just...

Not to be pedantic but I’m pretty sure this render actually shows the TMD will be exposed but it won’t be as obvious as we think it’ll be. I wish it was fully enclosed with decorative crown and lighting though.

I’ve always wondered why we needed such complicated ramps. The buses in Hong Kong just does a simple 180 flip that the operator opens and closes.

I mean, ask Dream and Mizrahi how it’s going. For the record, I very much wish beautiful buildings/spaces were valued more in our country.

Pretty sure all the PoMo elements were removed in the Gehry expansion, they were mostly on the Dundas side. I saw pics of it at a TSO trivia-night and it was really quite an…. Interesting sight to behold

I’ve been struggling for half an hour now to find all the facades the AGO has gone through, I can’t believe how hard it is! After the 1918 Beax Arts building, there was a brutalist expansion in 1973 by John C Perkins, then there was a post-modern renovation in 1993 by Barton Myers, until...

They’ll have one a block north of The Well at King and Brant. Far enough to not really be competition for The Well, close enough that they wouldn’t open another location there

Four intersections in that stretch that will be replaced with outdated switches (I assume)?

It’s also super silly to require the extra high barriers. Can the city stop treating us like children? The original design was was much more elegant. Not to mention the accent lighting has no doubt been removed

I think emergency vehicles have a special IR light that flashes at the intersection, I also assume dispatch can do something to clear routes.
