W. Toronto Railpath

IMPORTANT DETOUR UPDATE From Monday, January 23, Railpath will be closed from Ernest Avenue to south of the Bloor Street West pedestrian bridge for about one year for Metrolinx work. A detour path will be in place to help you along your way. info:gotransit.com/en/the-future-…

@brianlilley @chrissaccoccia1 "Fraud" How predictable.

Good to see Chris Sky believes in democracy. He put his name on the ballot, the voters took a look and rejected him. Now he's claiming the election is a fraud. Will his supporters chant "Stop the steal" at rallies? Truth is @chrissaccoccia1 was never a serious candidate.

@RM_Transit A little tweet from the past...2013 to be exact. : )

Excited things are happening but frustrated we aren’t seeing more progress on some of the long promised stuff - level boarding, new stations, electrification. Feels like we ought to be moving faster.

@EmilyFarina5 @alex_taranu @LongBranchMike @CityPlanTO @Metrolinx “Like sands through the hourglass, so are the studies of our lives,”

@alex_taranu @LongBranchMike @railpath @CityPlanTO @Metrolinx One of the first kickoff studies was the Metrolinx Dundas West-Bloor Mobility Hub profile circa 2015. …igitalmarketing.blob.core.windows.net/ulidcnc/2016/1…

@alex_taranu There will be a link to the station. Trees coming back but not in same locations.

@GOExpansion We have a twitter account.

West Toronto Railpath users will experience a closure between Bloor St W to Dundas W. Our teams ran into a minor and unforeseen issue. We anticipate this section to be functional by the end of the day.

Today West Toronto Railpath users will experience a closure between Bloor St W and Dundas W. Metrolinx ran into a small and unforeseen issue while relocating a pole as part of the phase two closure area. Metrolinx anticipate this section of the WTRP to be open BEOD.

@g_meslin This reminds us of the "nature" pods in Silent Running.

850 mature trees would be cut down to clear the way for your Toronto spa. Resident wildlife displaced. Habitats destroyed. And an enormous glass structure built in a migratory corridor. “#Nature is at the heart of all #Thermegroup facilities.”

How does replacing public parkland with a private spa, ignoring public interest and ramming through a project behind closed doors, and taking public $ - that could be spent on many greater causes - to build your waterfront parking lot prioritize wellbeing?

@blogTO People have been complaining since the late 1970's.

TTC streetcar tracks that have annoyed locals for years finally being fixed blogto.com/city/2023/04/t… #Toronto #TTC

@jasonaboyd It will Jason but it will take a while for new plantings to take hold. The sooner the 4th track is done, the sooner Railpath part 2 begins.

Saddened to see the West Toronto @railpath clear-cut of its trees and vegetation. It’s always been a lovely strip of wild lushness. The Kitchener Fourth Track is an important project, I know—I just hope the Railpath can renew itself in the future.

@inHrEye How did you get around the Fire Department claiming their trucks cant get around the corner? (Like they do every time somebody tries to calm a downtown street.)

The bioswale is in pretty good shape ATC. The transit shelter should be in very soon. The large ped volume ensures that this traffic signal changes very frequently, combined with the narrow lanes, busses and tight radii means that motor vehicles move thru here very slowly 🏆

Visited #BikeTO YorkU to see how it fared thru the winter. Not bad. Not a lot of bikes thru here yet, but TONNES of pedestrians. The curb cut at Evelyn Wiggins is also done. The great thing about protected intersections is that they make the intersection safer, for everyone.

@stphnmaher Its adults going to see these films.

I have only seen one of these, number 4, which I thought was terrible. I would not watch any of the other ones. Cinema is for teenagers now, because a trip to the multiplex gets them out of the house. The good stuff is on TV.

The West Toronto Railpath is already a neighbourhood treasure. Pretty soon it’ll also connect cyclists directly to the downtown core. @rebeccaga0 breaks down the coming extension, set to begin construction later this year. torontoverse.com/articles/o1jAx…

📢 Safety is critical to everything we do. We're running an emergency exercise on the new Davenport Diamond Guideway today. Emergency services and a large group of Metrolinx staff will be present. This is not a real emergency—do not call 9-1-1 to inquire. (📷: @ProjectEND)

@LadyScorcher @jtriangle It has been delayed.

@blogTO Hey BTO, the line already exists and is in service. Its the moving service over to the new line that has been delayed.

Toronto transit line set to open this week was just delayed at the last minute blogto.com/city/2023/03/t… #Toronto

@AlexanderGlista Sure would. This hood would love it and has asked for it. But municipalities now have almost zero leverage to make most of that happen and Section 37 is gone plus development charges have been reduced. Municipalities are in the hole before anything is built. Thanks Doug.

@railpath It sounds like a great opportunity to work with developers to add daycares, affordable + attainable units, health and dental clinics etc to ensure the neighbourhood is complete and well served!

Within an 800 metre walk of this site, there are: - 3 subway stations - a streetcar and bus hub - 2 GO stations - 1 Union Pearson Express station The “let’s keep density artificially low because vibes” approach is destroying affordability and ruining Toronto.

@AlexanderGlista @renodane Dont count your Smart Track Eggs until they are hatched.

@renodane Bloor-Lansdowne was included in my count - it’s one of the two GO stations, the other being Bloor GO
