Has the Spadina streetcar actually gotten faster?
I just saw a northbound and southbound car both sit at College while left turning cars got an advanced left before transit green cycle. What is timeline for signal priority and faster speeds through intersections? Wasn’t the mayor doing a victory lap on speeding up streetcars a couple months ago.

observingthecity.caAnyone ride Mill St in past couple days know if the bike lane is still blocked?
I rode Mill St. in front of distillery on Thursdsay and found there were a couple sections of bike lane completely torn up with new asphalt. Is this still the case or is the bike lane rideable now?

Where is Downtown Toronto? Draw your boundaries and see what the consensus was from over 1000 responses. This website was created after much debate over this definition.

youtu.beDoes anyone know if work has begun on Portland?
The construction notice said it was supposed to begin on week of April 30th and last 2 weeks. The last time I checked was a couple weeks ago and it hadn't begun yet. Has anyone noticed work starting? https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/978b-Installation-Notice-Portland2026.pdf
Brad Bradford advocating for bike lanes in 2020
bradbradford.caA great update to the Ookwemin Minising sees the middle of the new development transformed into a pedestrian space! This a huge improvement from the initial plan presented to council in 2024. Along with Centre Commons which will be pedestrian and cycle access only. Ookwemin and Foundry streets will be woonerfs with one-way car access.
There were 30 speakers, and 60 letters all in favour, which is extremely rare. Along with 2,200 signatures on a petition. The next stop before it is implemented is city council on May 20th.
