I don’t normally make posts like this, but felt I had to make this one given the circumstances. Today, at 5:15pm, I boarded an UP Express train at Bloor station, because it was the fastest way to get downtown for a baseball game. I now realize that what I did… 🧵

Two small pedestrian areas were proposed for Kensington Market. Surveys showed overwhelming support generally (90%) and majority support (55%) from neighbourhood locals. And so, naturally, the city is proposing to remove the pedestrian areas and do more consultation. Seriously.

Most of Toronto had "decaying rust belt town" vibes in the late 20th century, and many of the people who recall it with deep reverence (while also lamenting anything new) do so because they were young back then, and being young is more fun than being old.

People sometimes point to the number of visible cranes as evidence that a city is building enough homes. This is very common in the GTA. Out of curiosity, I compared the most recent RLB crane index to the number of housing units permitted in each city during the previous year.

People living in central neighbourhoods deserve slower speeds, safer roads and alternative transportation options. Those who want to drive through a neighbourhood to get somewhere (causing noise and air pollution along the way) should be prioritized AFTER those who live there.

The UP Express is such an effective transit option for people near Bloor and Weston stations, that it became the obvious choice over the TTC for anyone heading downtown. Disappointing to see this. The response to heavy demand should be an increase in service, not cutbacks.

Starting late April: Every other UP Express train; one every 30 minutes, will be running express to and from Pearson Airport. UP Express trains will continue stopping at Bloor and Weston stations every 30 minutes. This is to allow airport travellers to use the service.

Mike Harris' amalgamations were extremely effective at gerrymanding municipal politics in favour of conservatives. Toronto and Ottawa are now de-facto controlled by their outer suburbs. In Ottawa it's even more absurd, most of the city (by area) is literally farmland.

An example of how to implement a "zero-delay" approach to transit priority. This tram section is Zurich has an 80m queue-jump lane before a major intersection. Traffic lights upstream are regulated to keep the cars queue below 13 vehicles, ie the length of the queue-jump lane.

Among the reasons for removing the pedestrian areas: - shops will not be able to operate - gentrification - noise, litter, traffic and "other issues" I guess pedestrians hate shops, and the confused SUV drivers on Augusta are helping reduce noise, traffic and gentrification.

Based on this tweet, I added a few more cities to the list. Vancouver follows Toronto's pattern. Texas cities win in overall unit count, but a ton of it is sprawl. In general, there's basically no pattern between cranes and new housing.

Reddit threads about housing in Toronto are exhausting. The most upvoted comments always involve some combo of: - Tax flippers/speculators - Tax corporate buyers - Ban foreign buyers - End blind bidding Then the comment "What about building more houses?" gets downvoted.

So while I still detest the Gardiner with every fiber of my being, getting it off the city’s books and into the province’s books (where it belongs) is still positive. Our fantasies of tear down were, unfortunately, just that. Fantasies. At least for now.

Memo to Pierre Poilievre - you need to re-do your housing hell video in light of Economist magazine finding that the most livable and cheapest cities in North America are in Canada! #factsMatter #cdnpoli @CanadianGreens

Here's almost all of council ignoring a very basic mathematical fact: despite Toronto's "fast growing" [citation needed] the areas around Toronto are growing much faster. That's the only reason Toronto is losing a riding. Allow more growth and this won't be an issue.

Toronto is the largest & most diverse city in Canada, facing challenges that require strong representation at all levels of government. I signed a letter with my City Council colleagues opposing the Federal electoral district redistribution that eliminates one Toronto riding.

Councillor Lily Cheng says the difference between fare evasion and getting a parking ticket is a question of intent. People choose not to pay their fares, but with parking tickets maybe they just ran out of time on the meter.

Latest environmental buzzword is '15-minute cities', meaning: 'A residential urban concept in which most daily necessities & services, such as work, shopping, education, health & leisure, are within an easily reachable 15-minute walk or bike ride from any point in the city.'

The province always had final say over what would happen with our cursed concrete scar. But now, finally, the 905 car commuters have to help foot the bill, as they should.

Really cool how the Alberta government is buying full wrap TTC streetcar ads to promote their clean energy alarmism/soft-misinformation campaign. Do one for the Alberta Pension Plan next!

I made this because it's tiresome when journalists, politicians and housing "experts" trot out the semi-annual crane index as if it says something meaningful about overall housing supply in a given city. Hopefully this is more of a concrete (hah) demonstration of why it doesn't.
