Shari Kasman @smkasman.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Always fun seeing Bloordale Beach pop up at transit and urbanism conferences! Fun to see this unofficial landmark live on. Check out my essay about it in Messy Cities, and I made a whole photobook about it, too. 040

Shari Kasman @smkasman.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I should have known that by posting criticism of the Bloor UP Express station, I would still have people defending the system and mansplaining train stations to me. But also, I can’t believe people are defending such a massive design fail. 051
Shari Kasman @smkasman.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I don’t understand why Toronto is opening new parks without food. Aren’t you hungry? 030

Shari Kasman @smkasman.bsky.social · 17/07/2026After years of confusion at the Bloor UP Express station, I left myself a trail of stickers to get me to the right train. Then I investigated to figure out what makes the station so confusing. Top problem: they use an airplane symbol to mean "train." open.substack.com/pub/sharikas...open.substack.comMy Own Personal Wayfinding Solution at the Bloor UP Express StationI left myself a trail of stickers just so I could catch the train to the airport at what's got to be the most confusing train station on the planet 197

Shari Kasman @smkasman.bsky.social · 30/06/2026If Bryant Park in NYC can do it, Harbourfront should be able to have grass also. 010
Shari Kasman @smkasman.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Harbourfront is full of artificial grass, right by the main building. I emailed to ask if they could make it real grass. I did not get a reply! 120

My bicycle holds all the supplies, plus trash bag. Stop by and say hello, if you’d like! I’ve been asked to finish this by Saturday. Stay tuned… 1312
Shari Kasman @smkasman.bsky.social · 24/06/2026It was impossible! Apparently cycling/pedestrian dept at the city tried to get them to stay in one lane but the city said no, just close the street entirely. 🙄 000

Shari Kasman @smkasman.bsky.social · 12/05/2026The developers of the Bloor-Duff project won an MPAC appeal. Result: Bloordale BIA owed them $200,845 after already spending $157,000. The city denied a repayment plan, forcing cuts to every neighbourhood line item. All for a “vibrant” ‘hood. #TOpoli #Bloordale 030
