I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

One thing about people citing slower car travel times on Bloor West following the bike lane install is, well, that was kind of the point. Drivers were **averaging** nearly 20 km/h over the current speed limit at spots. Road revamp has brought speeds closer to limit. www.toronto.ca/wp-content/u...
Two bar charts comparing average and 95th percentile vehicle speeds in km/h across five Toronto locations over three time periods (2021/23, 2024, 2025/26), with a posted speed limit of 40 km/h indicated by a dotted line.

Also it would be great if, say, the fire chief came out in support, commenting on all the carnage they see from cars. They never do tho, that might be political (but they will be political when discussing, say, fire risk in encampments).

There's a TTC survey about the experience of using the new platform fences at TMU station. great opportunity to tell them that you are dissatisfied with these fences and to push them to build real platform edge doors, be it half-height or full-height. www.surveymonkey.com/r/TTCxTMUPla...

As you fill out the Toronto Star Vote Compass, please remember that there are many ways to pay for transit that isn’t reliant on fare increases. Presenting this as a binary between better service and higher fares is disrespectful to transit advocates who work tirelessly to push for alternatives.

usual sight on the toronto subway at 11:30pm. don't let campaigning right-wingers tell you transit is a desolate wasteland and no one's taking it because they fear for their life. that is so far from the truth in toronto. ask any of these people what they want most & they'll say "run more trains"

policy failure: covering up a fare reader, because people routinely tap on the wrong reader, because metrolinx insists on two separate fare readers for its two parallel services on this corridor. just integrate fares between UPX and GO, already. end the confusion and make transit easier to use!
