Unclear from the article whether this rack inside or outside the apartment complex. Either way, who locks at $10,000 bike to rack and walks away for two weeks?

Trying again to fix a math error.. Parliamentary Budget Officer looks at comparable HSR projects elsewhere and finds, no surprise, that the Cdn govt is low-balling costs. PBO says cap-ex could range from $75-113B, which is about 25pc higher than govt estimates www.pbo-dpb.ca/en/publicati...

All those Toronto drivers who shouted about bike lanes' [non-existent] effect on emergency vehicles will no doubt throw their support behind congestion pricing. Right?

There’s a type of column that takes on a widely held view and says, basically, all you ignorant peons are wrong, here‘s why I know better than you This has a long tradition but is super arrogant. No, you’re not smarter than everyone. And contrarianism in pursuit of clicks is no journalistic virtue

I, in turn, disagree. The biggest problem with our transit is the idea that subways are the only acceptable form of it. Want to get from city to city? That's what regional transit is for. GO rail and bus services need to improved massively rather than just building the subway farther and farther out

Two thoughts.. 1/ Cities are *always* turning over. That's normal. If there's not a bunch of churn it's probably a lame city 2/ Take with a big grain of salt people who say they'll leave a place cause of traffic www.thestar.com/news/gta/tor...

thestar.com

Torontonians agree the city is a good place to raise a family — but more than a third expect to leave in the next 5 years

An Ipsos poll of 1,006 Toronto residents found 37 per cent say they are very or somewhat likely to leave the city in the next five years.
