Looks good! I walked by today and snapped a pic; looking forward to checking Solkatt out ASAP.

New UK grocery shop "From There To Here" at the eastern foot of St. John's Road (17 St. John's Road at Clendenan). Terrible SEO and no social media or web presence so you'll just have to take my word for it. They've taken over the inventory and suppliers of the recently closed Flowers & More...

Love it, the fully orange bikes are very striking! Here's how the new Tangerine branded eBike looks:

On the topic of shabby/unfinished looking TTC properties, what on earth is happening at Islington station? It's utterly depressing! It's got that neglected soviet vibe...can't imagine the air quality is very good down here either with these weeping/peeling walls. And why does the ceiling look...

I'm already lamenting the loss of one of the only continuous, routinely snow plowed walking/running routes in the west end with the closure of the Bloor segment since January (more easily navigable on foot via the GO station, but crossing Bloor there is nigh on impossible) but does anyone have...

Sidewalk width is such an ongoing battle - on Dundas West where it goes NORTH of Bloor (parallel to the Go/UP tracks) the eastern sidewalk is a year-round struggle. When it snows, it's not plowed, and the rest of the year whatever the bushes are (weeds? I honestly don't know) encroach in a major...

Agreed. We need to clone her about 100x to deal with the rampant "I'll just be a minute..." type infractions, plus the increasing number of vehicles that park entirely on the sidewalk whenever they please!

Yup, Montreal immediately shuts down all of Toronto's tired excuses of "it's too cold / there's too much snow / it's too hilly" to create and maintain cycling infrastructure. They also crush our daily numbers with Bixi according to the BikeShare bot accounts (Montreal vs Toronto) - 50K trips per...

I'm not quite certain that this belongs here or a different thread but IMO it certainly falls under the category of "shabby repair." Who to contact about the increasingly common practice of replacing the hydro poles with fresh ones, but then putting these new poles in WORSE positioning than the...

Pic from Wednesday, taken from the traffic island at the Worst Intersection™ (the Junction): And as seen from the Dupont bridge on the Railpath, facing west:

I just returned from Montreal where instead of a 5 second 'leading pedestrian indicator' on red like in Toronto where it's an open invitation for cars to speed up on their right turn with no regard for crossing pedestrians, they use a STRAIGHT green arrow (suggesting that turning of any sort is...

I walked by today and noticed the signage still says "Occupancy 2022." They might want to update that...

Initiatives like the one of that CEO pointed out above are precisely the type that motivate me to speak up/write to/do every survey about better mobility for bicycles and pedestrians. Because I KNOW that those types will be organizing/speaking out against it - gotta make sure I come to the issue...

Some pics from Friday of the fencing that's been put up (as seen from Wallace ped bridge): And then a section where they've cut/dug up a hunk of the Railpath at Ruskin Avenue crossing. The path is now very narrow there.

I attended, I somehow only ended up taking one screenshot but there are a few others on Twitter. The presenter said it would be available to view afterwards so maybe the link is coming? The gist: aiming to have 20% of their fleet as eBikes, 1000 bikes by EOY, BikeShare at every single TTC...

It's a great idea! car2go (R.I.P.) used to offer credits to users who filled the gas tank during their rental. There was an entire side hustle of folks who would just help keep tanks full in order to get the car2go credit minutes!

We're coming up on the 2 year anniversary (August 2020) of the partial installation of the Bloor bike lane extension. I emailed the city a few weeks ago to ask what the latest ETA was, no response so far...my primary concern is with the absolutely unacceptable condition of the road (ie the...

^ I was just thinking how cool it would be if the neon "Junction House" sign faced towards the Railpath so it could be viewed/appreciated from the vantage point posted above. And it looks like that will be the case from the project renderings.

2 years later in 2022...residents STILL want a firm timeline for West Toronto Railpath extension. I just checked the project page and it just says "construction starting 2022." Tomorrow we're at the halfway point of 2022, let's get going FFS!

I agree about the no right turn signage needing to be better. I am at this intersection every day as a pedestrian and the number of cars aggressively honking about the first car in the queue not turning (not realizing that their signal is red and no right turns permitted at that moment) is...
