If you need any pics of all the dangerous construction zones I've documented around Toronto in the last few years, grab em in the next week or so. Account will be deactivated soon. Thanks for the support. I think this account did make a small difference. #BikeTO #NotSafe4BikesTO

My @TorontoStar column this week: there’s no science that can make sense of Doug Ford’s decision to move the Science Centre. The new facility will cost more and deliver less — and waste a whole bunch of time that parents and kids will never get back. thestar.com/opinion/contri…

The huge hump in the Queen's Park loop bike lane just north of Hoskins has of course gotten worse this winter. Despite us notifying the City twice in August about cyclists injured here, nothing has been done. The hazard now stretches into the two adjacent motor vehicle lanes...1/2

@311Toronto 35 days later and the entrances to the bidirectional bike lanes on Woodfield are still blocked. It's been reported many times. Cyclists have to ride into oncoming traffic. Is the city assuming the risk of harm here?

@311Toronto Will definitely make a complaint. It's pretty obvious it's been decided somewhere that the safety of cyclists using this lane is not worth the effort of clearing. I get things were busy but this is now a choice. Tired of riding into traffic. @PaulaFletcherTO

Why spend $40M when you can spend over a billion on a smaller, lower quality, less functional building in a worse location?
Tina Yazdani@TinaYazdani

While Premier Ford calls the new Science Centre design “stunning,” it comes with a $1B price tag. The original building could’ve been repaired for $40M. “That billion could be better spent solving hallway healthcare, getting students OSAP & solving challenges in education.”

The OG Ontario Science Centre is in an excellent location, part of an art & culture corridor, near highways & gives one end of the Ontario Line purpose. The award winning OG building is a gem, nestled into a ravine. The proposed OSC is 150,000 sq. ft. smaller. #topoli #onpoli
Colin D'Mello | Global News@ColinDMello

Premier Doug Ford says the current Science Centre - at Don Mills and Eglinton in Thorncliffe - is a "terrible location." Ford says the building was "decrepit" Ford says if they renovated the existing structure you would still have a "dumpy building." #onpoli

“it could take until 2038 to make up for a decision made in 2025.” Cost more $, take longer, in many areas fixes not possible (like schools on major streets can’t have speed humps) Epic Ford failure putting lives at risk #ONpoli 1/ torontostarreplica.pressreader.com/article/281608…

@TheBikingLawyer I often think about the time I got right-hooked by a cop on Bloor (who never apologized). His supervisor showed up for the incident report and asked, "did your bike get damaged?" then paused, looked at my bike, and said "not that you'd be able to tell anyway!" and laughed.

My @TorontoStar column: Doug Ford’s snap decision to ban speed cameras could take $50 million and THIRTEEN YEARS for Toronto to deal with. The premier promised immediate alternatives for road safety. The problem: those alternatives don’t really exist. thestar.com/opinion/contri…

“Money doesn’t grow on trees” …unless you’re an Austrian-based private spa operator that misrepresents itself in bidding. Then it rains public money - massive parking garage, relocating the Science Centre, site preparation and infrastructure, 95-year lease terms…
Tina Yazdani@TinaYazdani

Premier Ford to students on OSAP: “it’s not a freebie anymore. Money doesn’t grow on trees.” “Not everybody was raised with the kind of privilege he was raised with,” countered the NDP leader. Despite the mounting pressure, Ford is standing firm on cuts to OSAP grants.

@cllrainslie Repairs make it safer for the cyclists forced to ride in the gutter, too! (I hope these pics were taken from the passenger side)

Hey Ward 24 residents! The City of Toronto needs to actively repair, and prioritize, the many streets which have been damaged this winter with potholes, some significantly large ones - which will damage vehicles & create real safety hazards. If you see a pothole which needs filling, please call 311/use the 311 app. Also can call my office 416-396-7222 #TOPoli

One of Ford's cabinet ministers was caught by a speed camera doing 70km/h in a 40 zone and received a $450 fine. His cabinet ministers' vehicles were caught speeding 23 times. One vehicle was recorded stunt driving 12 times at 150km/h. Ford's solution Drive slower in school zones? No. He banned speed cameras in school zones. #ONpoli thestar.com/news/gta/doug-…

Ontario Line construction is ramping up, but Metrolinx says it’s too early to commit to an opening date. They’re suggesting “early 2030s” after initially announcing a 2027 target & costs have climbed from $11B to $27B. Lessons from Eglinton Crosstown promised, skepticism remains:

What do people get out of making completely false statements like this? Nobody can look around the city and say that painted bike lanes get cleared better than separated infrastructure (and then use that as a reason not to build safe infra). Ford plant?
