Okay the genuinely funniest outcome is Italy winning the WBC but not qualifying for the World Cup.

in case you were wondering why live tracking on both Line 5 and Line 6 is basically non-existent

paired with malfunctioning next train screens (on line 5 at least, IME), i genuinely have not known when my train is going to show up for the past several days, i just go down to platform level and hope

Coin Flips FC Cincinnati was on the losing side of a coin flip on Sunday, a position it mostly avoided in 2025.

Cincinnati take on #TFClive away win yesterday is quite flattering to our CBs on aerial duty and the midfield’s ability to neutralize their attacks. Nice to understand what the other side sees.

Before and after.

Seeing the parts and the whole at once helps reveal how time and evolution shape the city. Here, a parking lot becomes a beloved public park while surrounding lots gradually develop over decades.

Almost like a chessboard where the pieces don’t move,they evolve.

Interesting missing middle infill going up on Sorauren. Looks like two floors of apartments over a one storey garage behind an existing 3 storey building, creating a little roof-top courtyard.

i spent all summer organizing for dedicated transit lanes against typical toronto nimbys who claimed that "emergency vehicles would get stuck in traffic and more people would die"

anyways, here's real life:

The LRT is Exactly What We Needed YouTube video by Romaro Williams

Great new video by Romaro Williams that gives some much needed positive light on the Finch West LRT!

Yes, it could be better, but Williams highlights how transformative this project is for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and even drivers.

Go support this amazing new creator of colour! (1/3)

Province Awards Contract for New Science Centre at Ontario Place | UrbanToronto The Province has awarded a $1.04 billion contract to deliver a new 400,000 ft² Ontario Science Centre designed by Snohetta and Hariri Pontarini Architects at Ontario Place, with opening targeted for 2029. The facility will include the historic pods and a revitalized Cinesphere as part of the waterfront redevelopment.

If Toronto didn’t already have a science museum, Ontario Place would be a compelling place to start. But the city does have one on an a spectacular Don Valley site — that will soon be served by two subway lines. Which makes this new proposal a good place to stop. urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/02...

Did you know that the City is conducting a survey about the future of street furniture in Toronto? The current contract expires in the summer of 2027 and a new vendor & furniture will be picked. Take the survey to have your voice heard. #TOpoli

Hello Threads!

Transit update: we're taking action to speed up Finch West LRT and save you time.

As of today, enhanced signal priority has started to roll out on the Finch West LRT, with new intersections being installed every day.

Rapid deployment of new signal priority technology is the result of my plan to speed up streetcars and LRTs across our city. The Eglinton Crosstown is up next, and coming soon!

Per Mayor Olivia Chow's Threads post earlier today, transit signal priority is starting to be rolled out on the Finch West LRT with implementation on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT to follow! 🚋🎉 #TTC #TOpoli CC @ttcriders.bsky.social @toenviro.bsky.social www.threads.com/@mayorolivia...

Oh god. „Telemarketing job” brought back memories. Worked at a place that was scamming people and quit the first day, only to see it on CityTV piece by Jojo Chinto after it got busted.

In 2022 France implemented a new law stating that 50% of any new public building should be built from timber or other bio materials.

An outcome is new schools that look like this!

Have thoughts on how to improve your bus/streetcar stop? Do you find that TTC stops often lack benches or shelters?

The City is running a survey about transit shelters, benches, trash bins and more. Let them know what you think! ⬇️
