"The schedule for this work strikes me as unduly extended as if nobody really cares how long transit service will be disrupted."
I lived on King for a few years and I'm pretty sure they try to maximize how long the route is disrupted. The streetcar was running for maybe 50% of time I lived there.

NEW: Looks like CycleToronto won in court. Justice Schabas finds Ontario's law (AND version 2) to remove bike lanes infringe S7 of the Charter and is not saved by S1, in large part because the govt had no evidence to back up its claims.

That’s so cool! Montreal’s bike share system is rolling out trailers that work on BIXIs as well as personal bikes.
They’re hoping to have 50 by the end of the summer, and hundreds over the next few years.

In July 1967, a section of the South Hill neighbourhood of Toronto decided to declare itself an independent republic.
It elected a queen, formed an air force of 1,000 helium balloons and issued passports.
This is the story of the Republic of Rathnelly!

There's a motion on the TTC board agenda next week asking management to look into fixing service bunching with AI. This is hopelessly naive on two counts. First it reflects responsibility for actually doing anything. Second AI needs a valid model to learn from of which the TTC is a very bad example.

Canada went through its 45th federal election last night.
Let's see how the election's results compare with others in Canadian history.
The voter turnout was about 67%. Canada has not exceeded 70% since 1993. This was the third-highest turnout of the 21st century.
