Also so great to see a new #walkto link at Dawes & Vic Park delivered by my ops unit. Instead of just resodding a worn path, we addressed the real issue, a strong desire line. Not only did we resolve a long standing maintenance issue, but we improved accessibility and connectivity.

He has also recently left TMU and moved to Alberta.

For one of the first times, I can share- I didn’t design, just repairing it. Should we order extra letters and revise it to say YONGE STREET NOT THE LONGEST STREET?

We are trying to turn up the dial generally on repairs large, small, simple and complex. I’ll work to post more about the most satisfying #fixTO repairs.

Oops now I see @kayehm.bsky.social already answered 🤦‍♀️!

Sorry missed this. @kayehm.bsky.social can expand, but you don’t need 2 signals (ie Sumach at Queen). But if one fails, the second ensures that the full signal doesn’t go into flash and continues to provide guidance to people cycling. Purposeful redundancy.

I totally agree. In Toronto, we don’t do snow removal every year and have a more modest fleet. We received 55 cm over two days, which is significant for TO- I don’t think this is the type of storm to judge our normal snow clearing operations.

This wasn’t a hit on Montreal! Montreal’s snow removal program is amazing. Just being grouchy because sometimes folks exaggerate the program and it can be difficult to have a realistic discussion.

That’s not what I meant. Yonge is more your baby than mine. Just mourning with you 🥺

Our babies 😢

Probably the fault of some bike lane somewhere in CDMX 🤷‍♀️
