Well said Rob! When this was an active issue back in 2014, that was before the UP Express & waterfront revitalization (including the Port Lands, whose plans would be negatively affected by jets). Jets on the island airport make no sense in today’s context. #topoli

Even after so many policy changes on housing, that this kind of shit can still happen is very discouraging.

From the article:
Members said they found Malhotra’s plan both inappropriate and undesirable — too tall for the street at six storeys, even while they acknowledged its height would be within regulations under a new law and therefore not subject to their approval.

Cheers to @transalt.org@bsky.brid.gy for launching their campaign to expand NYC's Summer Streets into the spring, fall, and evenings! It's urgent that Toronto bring back open streets which has been on hiatus since 2022 and expand it ASAP! #BikeNYC #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ActiveTO tinyurl.com/openstreetsp...

Toronto's bicycle mayor @alilabanane.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy was recently featured on @biketalk.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy talking about the upcoming Femmes & Friends bike fair on Sunday, March 8 (a.k.a. International Women's Day) and issues women face when cycling. #BikeTO #TOpoli biketalk.org/2026/02/26-0...

Who does Doug Ford think he is; claiming he could get speed cameras installed "within months" and that Toronto city council was "the most dysfunctional political arena in the entire country"? He's the one who's causing the disfunction & dangerous streets! #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli #ONpoli #VisionZero

While it didn't work in December, we finally were able to speak on the topic yesterday at the next IEC meeting.

We were able to get a motion regarding what authority the City of Toronto can exercise to address traffic and privacy issues that may arise in connection with automated vehicles on City of Toronto streets or sidewalks

2 of our members tried to speak in December at Toronto City Hall at the Infrastructure and Environment Committee (IEC) regarding the responses from various Privacy Commissioners on Magna’s self-driving vehicle pilot.

It did not work out! Here's a short blog post on how that worked out

I hear Mammolitti died.

Good.

Maybe he's tonight's guest on Burn In Hell, with George Wallace.

RIP Mammo, you skeevy, unhinged, attention-seeking disaster of a politician. You certainly made City Hall a lot more interesting.

I can say this for sure, never again will anyone make a budget motion to have a 0% residential property tax increase and make up the shortfall with revenue from a casino boat. Mostly because of strong-mayor legislation that took away Council's say in the budget, but still.

Giorgio Mammoliti - arguably one of the biggest enemies of the #BikeTO community when he was on council - has died. Still remember him claiming the high Bloor bike lane counts were caused by a few people doing loops around Bloor & wearing multiple hats! #TOpoli www.thestar.com/news/gta/gio...

Screenshot from the linked Opinion piece:

TORONTO STAR

"I will show you how to calm the traffic, instantly," Ford boasted at the time he announced the camera ban.

But whoops. It turns out Toronto has a heck of a lot of schools on a heck of a lot of streets. Many of them are on arterial roads that aren't even eligible for speed humps because the speed limits on those roads would mean drivers going over bumps could get serious air.

It also turns out that roundabouts, another of the premier's suggestions for ways to slow down drivers in a world without speed cameras, aren't going to work on most Toronto's intersections. They take up a lot more space than a typical intersection, and space isn't something Toronto has.

But set those not-small-at-all matters aside, and there's still a major problem. Installing speed humps across all 775 kilometres of local and collector roads located near schools would cost, at a preliminary estimate, about $52 million.

That's more than the $42 million the premier announced as the first phase of …

Bad news from #Mississauga! Councillor Dipika Damerla - who was staunchly opposed to the Bloor Street Redesign - has put forward a motion at tomorrow's City Council meeting calling on the Province to license e-bikes & e-scooters. #BikeTO #TOpoli pub-mississauga.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx...

If Olivia Chow delivers transit signal priority and faster streetcars, those of us in the streetcar wards need to deliver dictator level margins to ensure it sticks around. #topoli

Map of the 2023 mayoral election in Toronto.

Olivia Chow's vote share is focused in the old city of Toronto, and apartment neighbourhoods in Scarborough.

Ana Bailao did well in house neighbourhoods outside the core, Etobicoke and North York
