This morning, Mayor Sutcliffe held a press conference outlining the modified Lansdowne 2.0 recommendations before city councillors or the public had access to them. That’s unacceptable. Transparency and respect for Council should come before media rollouts.

Lansdowne 2.0 risks giving residents less for more: higher ticket prices, a smaller arena, and higher debt. Similar promises in Lansdowne 1.0 fell short. This round is off to a bad start, and I’m calling on the Mayor to delay the vote until later in November.

I know why Ford wants to get rid of speed cameras - his friends and cabinet ministers are yelling at him about getting fined. But municipalities shouldn’t be going along with it.
There’s an adjustment period to new norms, but you’ve got to keep going. People will move on. And streets will be safer.

Within hours, TTC took down the signs installed by volunteers this morning.
We'd hoped our helpful suggestions would stick around to help riders navigate.
That's why we're asking Councillors to invest in the TTC's wayfinding strategy in the next budget: tttcriders.ca/wayfinding
