public consultation results for dedicated transit lanes on bathurst+dufferin. note overwhelming support (75%+ dufferin, 67-68% bathurst) for transit priority+converting parking to transit lanes.

transportation services recommendations + councillor compromises do not reflect what people want.

nice tram system in the songjiang district of shanghai. all it needs is signal priority and more GRASS

the shanghai urban planning museum is totally worth checking out if you're ever in the city!

it did kinda feel like it was pushing an idealistic narrative at times, but overall a fascinating insight into how chinese urban planning works

[1] suburbs and small cities in china have some of the best bike infrastructure, like here in the "small" city of Yancheng, Jiangsu (pop. 1.7 million)

So: the “Protect Bathurst / Dufferin” astroturf campaign run by Summerhill Market had videos of a guy talking about the neighborhood & RapidTO proposal. Real grassroots feel. Took a screenshot & put it into google image search. Guess what?

Good wayfinding is a key part of any good transit system, and Torontos needs a major overhaul.

I will be displaying my digital wayfinding project at OCAD University's GradEx from May 7 to 11th! Its free and features work from tons of other talented students!

Come check it out if you're in TO!

Your local subway station just got a ✨️glow up✨️

Wayfinding on Toronto transit needs a massive overhaul, which is why ive worked with the excellent team at TTCriders to give King station a much needed makeover.

Check it out if you're around!
Volunteers gave King Station a makeover this morning! You shouldn't get lost while taking the #TTC. Learn more and show your support for better TTC information and signs: www.ttcriders.ca/wayfinding

a small but impactful change at a local intersection. curb and sidewalk extended out to narrow the traffic lane + patch of dirt for future rain garden???

absolutely stunning. vignelli is the GOAT
Say hello to a new subway map! 🗺️

Today, the MTA unveiled a new subway diagram that provides riders with essential travel information in an easily readable, bright, and orderly manner.

like many people, I was frustrated with the poor digital wayfinding found throughout transit systems in the GTHA, so as part of my undergrad thesis at OCADU, I designed my own.

here are some mockups of what I've been working on the past few months:
