Three weeks after the storm and the northbound Yonge Street bike lane from north of the CPR Line to Rosehill in @joshmatlow.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy's ward is STILL blocked! The southbound bike lane is fine while both sides south of the CPR Line in @diannesaxe.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy's ward are cleared. #BikeTO #TOpoli

The City of Toronto is hosting Phase 2 consultations for the Trinity Bellwoods Park Access and Circulation Study. Please complete the survey to learn more about the recommendations and suggest improvements by Thursday, March 5. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.toronto.ca/city-governm...

Well how about that. Another tickbox as to why Ford isn't enthusiastic about an inquiry.

Three week after the big snowstorm & there are still some bike lanes that were blocked including parts of Bloor in Koreatown! Today, I helped Albert & @bikewaysto.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy clear the bike lane before doing errands in the area. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VikingBiking www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/02/tcbc...

TCBC Clears the Bloor Bike Lan...

Since I had some errands to do in the Annex anyway, I helped @bikewaysto.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy clear the Bloor bike lane from Markham to Euclid. Hope the City gets the rest of the bike lane in Koreatown cleared ASAP! #BikeTO #TOpoli #VikingBiking

You know the Eglinton crosstown light rail line 5 that just opened 6 years behind schedule?

Yeah, it's not AODA (accessibility legislation) compliant. Embarrassingly so.

Now one station has both elevators and escalators out of service, and the stations are obscenely deep. Thanks Metrolinx.

When walking Mozzie to Ramsden Park this afternoon, I noticed the Midtown Yonge bike lanes from Davenport to Crescent (and a bit beyond) are finally cleared! #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero CC @yonge4all.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy

Hey #BikeTO! @cycletoronto.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy's annual Coldest Day of the Year Ride returns on Saturday, February 28! Meet 10 AM at Sugar Beach Park for 10:30 AM departure. #TOpoli #VikingBiking www.cycleto.ca/cdoyr_2026

Ford’s crony supervisors earn way more than all of your School Board Trustees do combined, all while doing way less! Supervisors make $350K, over 10x what an individual Trustee earns. #topoli #onpoli #onted

@davidho Toronto definitely needs a Cycling Mikey. #TOpoli #bikeTO

what's the first thing you notice?

this car has sat here for several weeks without moving, completely snowed in by that huge snow dump back in January

surely it doesn't belong to the house it's sitting in front of, with that freshly cleared driveway

so whose is it?

question for all you #Toronto city planning geeks -- just how much does it cost to store your private vehicle on public streets for weeks at a time?

#TOpoli

This morning, I used my day off work to do some errands and get some takeout in the east end. I documented the bike lane conditions on my blog and unfortunately, there are bike lanes that are still blocked 17 days after the storm! #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/02/east...

East End Snow Check

What a misleading Toronto Life article given Mac Bauer only did from Kennedy to Aga Khan! Even the world's fastest half marathon runners (56:42 for 21 km) would find beating the Eglinton Crosstown LRT in its current form a real challenge and that's with slower underground & lack of TSP. #TTC #TOpoli

In addition, the contraflow on Palmerston northbound at Bloor needs to be plowed. South of Bloor is fine. #BikeTO #TOpoli

Had a couple of errands to do in the Annex after work, so I checked the bike lane conditions on Bloor. While most of the Bathurst to Christie stretch is cleared per the first photo, one block from Markham to Palmerston needs a redo. #BikeTO #TOpoli CC @diannesaxe.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy

Okay now it's over, I feel like I am dying and need to leave, thanks to anyone who is reading this

#TOcouncil #TOpoli #TObudget

If this goes over time I am going to have to tap out, I wish we could drink water in here

• Anyway, parts 1-4 as amended carry 19-5 (Bradford, Crisanti, Holyday, Perruzza, Pasternak against).
• Part 15, re: Parking Authority funding. "What's in that?" asks Cllr Colle distractedly. "Just read it," someone heckles. Carroll: "First rule of improv, just say yes!" It carries 20-4.
• Part 16, re: "considering" raising parking rates, carries 20-4.
• Part 24, on expanding the air conditioner pilot program, carries 23-1. "I feel like I'm getting older just sitting here," says Nunziata, whose birthday is in 2 days.
• Parts 26-30, re: FIFA, carry 22-2, with Nunziata & Bradford against. "If you vote for this you get the FIFA Peace Prize," jokes Colle.
• The rest of the item as pertaining to the TTC (so Cllr Colle, who has a conflict as his son [former councillor Josh Colle] now works for the TTC, can vote on the rest) carries unanimously, 23-0.
• The rest of the rest of the item carries unanimously, 24-0.

#TOcouncil #TOpoli #TObudget

Now voting on the item as amended (still https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2026.CC38.1). Councillors want various items to be separated out. I am starting to feel overheated and woozy and am decidedly under-hydrated.

• Parts 1-4 (the main rates) carry 21-4.
• PROCEDURAL CONFUSION as they are unclear what they are voting on now

#TOcouncil #TOpoli #TObudget

Votes! (Once again, here: https://secure.toronto.ca/council/agenda-item.do?item=2026.CC38.1)

(Note, when there is a lone "no" it's Holyday)

• Bradford's motion on increasing the small business tax break to 25% fails 5-20. "Perruzza!" Colle cries in disappointment (he voted for it).
• Carroll's motion increasing it to 20% carries 23-2.
• The other parts of her motion pass by a show of hands.
• Matlow's motion asking for a share of the HST carries 24-1.
• Morley's motion (drop-in sector, snow clearing for seniors & disabled people) carries 24-1.
• Morley's Amsterdam Bridge motion carries with a show of hands.
• Pasternak's motions re: a Major Gifts office; the Downsview Community Centre; New Deal 2.0 MoA agreeement all carry with show of hands.
• Pasternak's motion that the City of Toronto be very stern about loss of federal housing funds carries 22-3. (Matlow and Saxe against, which is interesting.)
• Kandavel's motion on Bluffer's Park carries with a show of hands.
• Burnside's motion on the Aga Khan Park carries with a show of hands.
• Bravo's motion on more transparent police (& associated divisions) budget reporting carries 23-2.
• Perruzza's annual property tax motion carries 22-3, Bravo and Malik against.
• Holyday's annual mechanical leaf collection motion fails 9-16. "Hey, that's one more than last year!" Holyday announces. "Keep trying," says Nunziata.
• Fletcher's Applegrove Community Centre motion passes with a show of hands.
• Myers's motion on more transparent TTC budget reporting carries unanimously.
• Burnside's motion for a $0.10 fare hike fails 3-20. "If you listened more and talked less, you'd know where I'm coming from," he calls in response to Perruzza's heckling. "Sick burn!" says Carroll.
• Crisanti's motion on free/discounted fares for senior Wheel-Trans users carries 19-5. Carroll, Matlow, Saxe (and Burnside and Holyday) against, likely for various reasons.

#TOcouncil #TOpoli #TObudget

Cllr Crisanti has a motion asking the TTC to look into "free to $1 for Wheel-Trans customers aged 65 and over during off-peak hours (10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) on weekdays and all day on weekends".

Cllr Myers says Wheel-Trans actually costs $50 a trip, and suggests instead making fares free/discounted for "conditional passengers", people who could use Wheel-Trans but are using the regular TTC instead. Crisanti says they could look at both scenarios.

OK, speakers over, voting time i guess
