Being allowed to turn through a red light is so uncivilized.

Imagine lighting up a cigarette on an airplane and then getting mad at the airline that the "no smoking" sign that's been there for 30 years wasn't neon yellow, 5 foot wide, and flashing

We literally tried to reduce the amount of lanes and implement traffic calming 18 months ago but residents lost their minds!!! You can’t have it both ways!

Will never be able to see crosswalks the same thanks to @kayehm.bsky.social. So close, yet so far.

No. They should be banned at all urban intersections.

Community: You got that new rail corridor rendering for us?

My tinfoil hat theory is that Rogers’ Stadium is a test run for Ed Rogers to see if he can bring an NFL team to Toronto and inevitably get the city to pay for a permanent 60k person arena. Results are not looking promising for Mr Rogers :/

The idea that somehow people speeding and getting a fine for speeding is anything but their own fault is crazy! The whole speed camera discourse totally ignores. The drivers actually need to be responsible when they're operating a dangerous vehicle on public roads.

Though, I will say that a huge reason why cycling saw a huge uptake in the 70s in the Netherlands was largely due to international crises like the OPEC oil crisis. Just something to think about as we’re all laser focused on the straits of Hormuz.

We can’t reason our way to safe streets. This is not the Netherlands of the 1970s. This has always been a culture war football with one side advocating for a communal and compassionate approach to cities and the other advocating for an anti-social and cynical vision.

Obviously things could be improved but I genuinely think that we were staring down the barrel of a truly catastrophic transit death spiral in 2022

Damien is spot on. There are many who feel Chow let her base down re; bubble zones, Ontario pl/sci centre, etc but ultimately, Chow’s tax increase is a large reason why the city isn’t LITERALLY falling apart rn

The city ripped out the small front yards to transform Dufferin Street into a car sewer in 1950. The Dufferin bus route as we know it today was established in the 1960s.

So what version of Dufferin Street do you want to back to?

It’s the perfect allegory for the city. Has moments of excitement but when you really need them to come through, they shit the bed and get in their own way.
