@CycleToronto @WaterfrontTO Is there an estimate for when the lakeshore blvd trail will re-open from Logan to Cherry St?
English
Some new cycling infrastructure is opening to the public tomorrow in the Portlands 🌉
The Commissioners Street Bridge and Cherry Street South Bridge will provide cycling and pedestrian access to the new Villiers Island from the rest of the Portlands.

@BeckyKatz96 Are there more sections of the Dundas route planned to be upgraded like this?
English
Bit by bit, Dundas Street bike lanes are being upgraded. Pictures here is poured in place curbs on Dundas at Coxwell. #biketo

@BeckyKatz96 @davidkopulos @TO_Cycling_Ped The single biggest quality of life boost once winter comes. No more massive puddles of slush and water.
English
@davidkopulos @TO_Cycling_Ped Our colleagues in the Vision Zero team led the charge on the design and implementation. But I agree it’s awesome! And yes, this is a standard and is applied to road recons (toronto.ca/wp-content/upl…)
English
Hey @TO_Cycling_Ped @BeckyKatz96, I love the narrowed road and raised crosswalk outside the Gerrard Ashdale library! More everywhere please! Is this a pilot, or a new standard for road rebuilds? (A guy can dream...)

@ronmortgageguy @TimNashCFP There is a large segment of the population that would love to get on a bike but feel unsafe. If you are forced to use a car to get around you should want as many people out of their cars and onto bikes. Toronto streets can only handle so many cars.
English
@TimNashCFP You get that some people CAN'T get out of their cars right?
Some people will NEVER get on a bike
The old, the unwell, people with limited mobility
Or just plain people who were raised in a world where "Car" wasn't a dirty word and choose not to be FORCED to get on a Bike
English
1) my bike is my best friend
2) the UP Express is amazing
3) the easiest / cheapest solutions involve people getting out of their cars

Travel Within Toronto Is Incredibly Hard: Has Government Competence Just Crumbled? Reading Twitter posts and talking to friends who live in Central 416 it looks like just getting from point to point in the core of the City has become torture and it's getting worse Why? 2/

@BoomerandEcho @PWLCapital If you have a pre-existing mortgage on your primary residence, and then move out and rent that property instead, does the mortgage interest become tax deductible?

@DaveLikesBikes @BicycleMayorTO I use this route on my commute and appreciate your effort. The MGT with the Commissioners detour isn't that bad depending on where you are starting/ending.
English
One last thing: I don't pay for a checkmark and took a 5 month break from Twitter. I don't think I show up on many feeds now. Going to tag one other local eastender who would be invested in this @BicycleMayorTO

Spent 15 minutes this morning documenting some of the bike traffic under the bridge on Dundas E just past Logan. Last summer City Council approved the closure of these lanes in both directions at this spot for at least 18 months (for Metrolinx work)

@BoomerandEcho May 2021 everyone wanted hedged ETFs because the dollar was obviously going to par. A month ago the dollar was obviously going to 0.60

@StephenPunwasi How much have prices rose over the last 7 months? Inflation since July 2022 has been right at 3%.
English
Bank of Canada says inflation will be back to 3% mid-year.
The BOC was wrong the past 14 forecasts, so it has to be right this time.

@DaveLikesBikes Thank you! This is my route to my office and I enjoyed the smooth ride home today
English
(and because people will mention it, this is not a finished product. There are curbs that were removed to accommodate the work and the safe assumption is they will be put back when it is complete)

Last week, many noticed the driving lane on Dundas E after Broadview was being resurfaced, but the bike lane wasn't getting the same treatment. I emailed the local councillor's office (@PaulaFletcherTO), as did others. They asked the city to expand the work

@electgarwood A "Third Place" is incredibly important in order to establish a sense of community and they are far less common in today's North American society. Hold on tightly if you have one.

OUR PLAN // ELMVALE ARENA
The Elmvale Arena is the heart of our community.
The Elmvale Arena is more than just a space for recreation, it provides economic growth within Elmvale.
I will always choose to preserve and enhance the heart of this community.

@DGClark27 Hitching along for the ride, not a BTC guy either. Main reason for buying seems to be the belief that someone will pay more for it later, placing it in speculation territory for me. The technology may well be revolutionary, haven't see a risk appropriate way to capture the value

@matttomic @BurkeHall Is trivia happening at Whelan's gate regularly now?

In the 4 years I've been hosting pub trivia, my big ol' trivia spreadsheet says I've just passed a milestone, writing my 6,000th question.
Sometimes I get asked for tips & tricks about hosting trivia, so if that's the sort of thing you're interested in, here goes!

@DrAaronRock @chris_synesael @RebelNewsOnline I'm really curious how you get to the conclusion the vaccine sucks. The objective numbers in Ontario are clear. Risk of hospitalization and ICU are reduced by 92-96%. Unvaccinated pop is much younger so true age adjusted benefit is almost certainly better.
English
@chris_synesael @RebelNewsOnline I know you know that the vaccine sucks. It’s works for a few months then needs a booster. Also, side effects are well known, especially for groups at least risk for covid deaths.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney announces new restrictions for Thanksgiving. No indoor social gatherings are permitted for the unvaccinated outside of their own households.

@DrAaronRock If he was instead urging people to get get vaccinated I suspect you would look at those same credentials and expertise and say he has been bought and paid for by the statists.
English
@DrAaronRock If you want to disregard scientific arguments in favor of moral ones that's fine. But it is pretty clear that you find Dr Bridle trustworthy because he is putting forth an argument you agree with.

@matttomic I passed who I must assume was the Parkdale High Park candidate riding his bike with his campaign sign pulled behind him on my run the other day, wish I had stopped and asked him.
