GO train disabled near Union Station causes delays and chaos for Toronto-area commuters Crews are working on the issue, but trains will not move through the area until the issue is fixed, according to a service update on the GO website.

Another example of how shoulder stations that serve all GO lines, say at Spadina & at Sherbourne, would make the entire GO network more resilient to issues at Union. This is crippling our entire region.

Toronto's new Finch West LRT experienced 350 delays in December, city data shows | CBC News Toronto’s new Finch West LRT line experienced 350 delays in December, city data shows.

I'm sorry to pile onto Finch West LRT further, but 350 delays in December is wild, considering it was only scheduled for 392 operating hours in December; that's nearly 1 delay per hour - and that ignores the hours it was supposed to be running but wasn't!

Polar dip into Lake Ontario, New Year's Day, 2026. Third year and counting; I guess that makes it a tradition?

Back to Seattle & Finch. My clips were from Othello station, at a comparable intersection to many along Finch. The built forms aren't identical, but they're not that far off.

Transit priority is possible. Toronto can do this. Help @ttcriders.bsky.social make it happen: www.ttcriders.ca/greenlight

Imagine if Lines 1, 2, or 4 (RIP Line 3 Scarborough RT) operated at 11.2 km/h:
- 26 min, Kennedy to Victoria Park
- 1 hour, Bloor to North York Centre
- 30 min, High Park to St George
- 2 hours (!) Union to Vaughan

Transit wouldn't be as useful nor as well-used.

Increasing the average speed of this at-grade LRT from 11.2 km/h is so vital, both for Finch LRT riders (or would-be riders) and to maximize the billions of dollars invested into other at-grade LRTs in the pipeline (Eglinton Crosstown, Hurontario, Hamilton, Eglinton East).

I wanted to compare what I saw on Seattle's Line 1 LRT with Toronto's Finch LRT.

In Seattle, you can see left turning cars waiting while fast-moving transit gets priority. Help TTCriders make it happen in Toronto: www.ttcriders.ca/greenlight

🚍‼️ The new #TTC #RapidTO bus lanes on #Dufferin are great! Next, they should be:
-⬆️ extended north from Bloor to Eglinton
-🚌 paired w/ frequent & reliable service
-↔️ added to Finch, Lawrence, Jane & Steeles

தமிழ் ஆய்வுகள்! It's been a joy learning Tamil this autumn. My vocabulary is minimal, my writing is messy, but I've picked up 12 vowels & 18 consonants & 216 syllables in 2 months ✍🏾 Looking forward to being quadrilingual, and I'm pleased to better connect with my homeland and my Tamil brothers & sisters!

Biidaasige Park on Ookwemin Minising island is phenomenal. A gem in the city. Something Toronto should be proud of & quite the feat along with renaturalizing the mouth of the Don River to manage flooding. Congratulations to everyone involved with the new Port Lands! #BiidaasigePark #OokweminMinising

This is going to be an awesome ride! Join us on Saturday morning to explore Scarborough's Meadoway!

It's Time to Expand Car Share Citywide Kevin Rupasinghe

Making car share accessible to residents living in Scarborough, North York & Etobicoke-York is a great step forward to a fairer, more affordable, more sustainable city, with less congestion & healthier residents. Add your name, let's make it happen: www.kevrup.ca/car_share_june_2025 [3/3]

This Wednesday is a vote on the Strategic Parking Framework which would see car share expand outside of permit parking areas, added to off-street lots esp. if permit parking is at 100% & added to new developments. Expanded permit parking areas would also be identified. [2/3]

Help expand car share across Toronto - send an email to City Council! www.kevrup.ca/carshare

Toronto has outdated & unfair rules about on-street permit parking in Scarborough, North York & Etobicoke residents which prevent car share from operating in these areas. [1/3]

A little birdie told me Eglinton Crosstown must be opening soon... a major project milestone achieved on June 1... Pigeons have migrated from Kennedy subway station into the new LRT building to claim their spots...

Great to see Scarborough's Meadoway featured in the Globe and Mail!

Parliament works best with the NDP at the table, and I want @bhutilakarpoche.bsky.social there as a voice for Toronto. She was a popular & effective MPP, and she can win in Taiaiako'n—Parkdale—High Park with your help. Volunteer on election day: www.bhutila.ca/election-day

Grateful to speak at @UTSC Prof. Andre Sorensen's Complete Streets course along w/ Dylan Reid, Becky Katz & Marvin Macaraig. We heard 5 excellent presentations about redesigning Scarborough's Sheppard Ave E. I was impressed & I was glad to support these students — they make me optimistic! 👏🏾👏🏾

Elbows up ! Our team of Scarborough community members had to grab a photo with Windsor's Canadian flag while we were in Detroit learning about the Joe Louis Greenway & how it could serve as inspiration for reimagining the Scarborough RT corridor... More pics & our learnings for the SRT coming soon!

Had a great time last night sharing ideas on addressing our housing affordability crisis with some brilliant panelists & a thoughtful, engaged audience at 'Moving the Needle' w/ Brampton BOT & CivicAction. You can learn more & take action on housing at www.missionaffordable.ca

Worried about GTHA housing affordability? Join the Moving the Needle panel event at The Rose Brampton (1 Theatre Lane) TOMORROW Wed Mar 5, 5:30-7:30p. Fully addressing the many crises we face — housing, congestion, climate — requires solutions for the suburbs. members.bramptonbot.com/calendar/Det...

Did you know Scarborough has fewer BIAs than any other borough? My neighbour Marce Bylinska & I wrote about Scarborough's BIA potential in the March Bluffs Monitor after celebrating the new Cedarbrae Markham Lawrence Village BIA's opening.
