Work on the trail that takes a car lane away on Bayview is starting tonight. The work should be completed within the next 9 days - hopefully I’m not wrong. https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/95ed-TSActiveTOBayviewBrochure.pdf That is not the full story. The project includes more...

What is proposed on Port Union Rd is a utter disgrace on how to design a street in a residential area. Well said:

Great discussion and everyone who is adding his opinion seems to be light years ahead compared what Councillor McKelvie is proposing on Port Union road: https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/get-involved/public-consultations/infrastructure-projects/portunionroad/ She seems to be in favour to...

Yes, correct. I received the answers to my questions today from Tabun’s office. Answer to my second question: “Your other Question: The Gardiner is causing pollution. Why aren’t we getting rid of an elevated highway instead? Peter’s Answer: That is a good question. That is a piece of City...

From Councillor Fletcher’s open house: “Your Question: Who will be paying for putting a line underground? Peter’s Answer: We will be paying for putting the Riverside section underground the same way the rest of the Ontario Line will be paid for - by government funding. Interestingly the most...

Great win today to have also the Major onboard. I’m waiting to have on street parking on many streets removed, especially on Bloor. Unfortunately, Layton wants to move the centre line on Bloor St E to give the Yorkville BIA free on street parking. They BIA will accept the bike lanes in return...

How can and must this done better?

Part II - Disaster on Bloor St E

Bloor St E bike lanes are still not a success story in terms of safety and desig! Danforth is making a much better impression. Why is that?

Councillor Fletcher spearheading the fight against the Ontario Line.

Danforth bike lanes might be very well extended to the east as part of ActiveTO. #destinationdanforth lead my Brad Bradford became a role model for better street design and it is a success story. The Major is in favour. There is very little doubt that won’t it become permanent by council vote...

Some - modest - modest upgrades happening this week on Bloor St E. I call some section the good, the bad and the ugly. What do you think?

A much bolder vision is needed for Yonge. Unfortunately very true! http://spacing.ca/toronto/2021/01/11/lorinc-yonge-streets-new-mission/

Some more improvements coming to Bloor St. after the enormous backslash of residents: As an interim measure until the centre line can be moved - crews will soon be placing curbs and additional bollards along Bloor, between University/Avenue to Church Street, to further protect the lanes. Some of...

Will there be bike lanes to the left and right along the Golden Mile? It’s important also to connect to the hydro corridor trails.

Business travel won’t come back for the next two to three years. The biggest group of travellers abroad are retirees who see COVID-19 as a threat. Until the bigger population will be vaccinated it will be end of this year or summer. At least for Canada and US. Other countries might take much...

My provided outlook is on a 10 year outlook and based on research of Chris Herd. He says those corporations who don’t have a remote first policy will disappear. Also, public transit shifted from commuting services to general mode of transportation some time ago. Interesting read: The cost...

It won’t be WFH forever. It will be working from everywhere forever. Going to the office will mostly for collaboration and corporate training. Different business centres around the city will evolve, but a major HQ will become much less important. CIBC already faces pressure from investors what...

As we all look at the vaccine administration in Canada which shows there are major challenges and it will take more time as expected. Also only a few country could secure supply. Most countries are not able to run a mass vaccination program. This is overall not positive for tourism and the...
