Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

[Jonny5]

I'd be more worried about "let's widen Lake Shore Boulevard to five lanes each direction!"

Jokes aside, I actually wouldn't be surprised if this leads to the reopening of the Princes' Gates to car traffic and the bike lanes all removed.

In a statement to CTV News Toronto, the office of Stan Cho, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Gaming, said the legislation is “not about” the government “taking over” Exhibition Place.
“This is a backstop measure to ensure that we can work in partnership with everyone to get Ontario Place rebuilt in a timely manner,” the office said, adding that the bill could expedite construction requirements such as turning off water lines or adding power.

DoFo, the Mayor of Toronto strikes again. Even if this is legit, it smacks of overreach

Ah, it's going to be the parking lot for the construction workers coming down from Vaughan in their giant Ford F-350s which they don't use for anything other than driving to their worksite.

That's a funny way to engage in a partnership.

Just like a shotgun wedding still results in a spousal partnership.

Oh I have a matrimonial analogy that I would refrain from mentioning for the sake of good taste.

Be careful out there! As of today "Mayor" Doug Ford has removed all speed cameras. Even though research from SickKids Hosptial, shows that cameras reduce speeding in school zones by 45%!

Time to dust off the useless slowdown turtles and pray people don't drive like it's the 401

Speed enforcement cameras officially banned across Ontario

Speed enforcement cameras across the province have officially turned off after more than five years of use and millions of dollars in fines.

How about "speed limiters" for ALL motor vehicles? These days, with AI, they can control the vehicle based on location (50 km/h on arterial, 30 km/h in school zones, etc.).


Speed Limiters For Ontario Commercial Motor Vehicles

From https://www.otdlegal.ca/general-blog/speed-limiters-for-ontario-commercial-motor-vehicles/

In June 2008 Ontario law went into effect requiring most commercial motor vehicles to be equipped with a speed limiting device to limit speed to a maximum of 105 km/h. This change to Ontario law was met with mixed reactions from various stakeholders such as transport truck drivers, transport truck company owners, and regular drivers of Ontario roadways.

There could certainly be pressures placed on transport truck drivers to exceed the posted speed limits by company owners who in turn could be pressured by clients under time constraints for their deliveries. Ultimately legal, insurance, and financial penalties would be held against drivers and their companies in trying to meet the demands of an ever increasing ‘just in time’ manufacturing and supply industry. Road safety concerns both for the drivers of commercial motor vehicles and the drivers of the other vehicles around them have also been a part of this ongoing discussion.

Any government that tries will lose the next election.

The electronic signs on Lake Shore Blvd. are all warning about road closures tomorrow for the "Santa Clause" parade. I didn't realise Tim Allen was coming to play Santa this year!

Indeed, read the fine print!
