Disappointed with how even with the late July news, @mark-carney.bsky.social still left the door open to jets at Billy Bishop Airport in the future. No wonder why @shawnmicallef.bsky.social suggested not putting away those #NoJetsTO signs just yet. #shame #cdnpoli www.torontotoday.ca/local/city-h...

Carney won't rule out future Billy Bishop Airport expansion

'Forever is a long time,' prime minister says

Definitely share @graphicmatt.com's disappointment in his latest column on how only one councillor - Gord Perks - stepped aside for this fall's election and another is running for Mayor. We really need term limits to allow for new blood at City Hall. #TOpoli #TOelxn26 www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

Matt Elliott: Gord Perks left Toronto council with a bang. Why won’t his long-serving colleagues ever leave?

With Toronto councillors serving for decades and Doug Ford blocking key reforms, term limits may be the only way to get new voices at city hall.

Meanwhile, Toronto hasn't held #OpenStreetsTO - their equivalent to NYC's Summer Streets - since 2022. If Toronto were to bring it back, it needs to be every Sunday from May to September. Not just two Sundays a year as what happened in past years. #BikeTO #WalkTO #TOpoli

For 18 year now we have only had three Summer Streets events in Manhattan. People definitely want more. How many more? Watch to find out! @openplans.org @nyc.streetsblog.org www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JU-...

I’m listening to CBC (5;14pm) - Clayton says “defunding the police” - W T A F — gaslighting continues!!! “Bad guys” mmmm who is that ?! “The $1.43 billion budget includes a $93.8 million increase (7%), which will go to the City of Toronto’s Budget Committee” #toronto www.tps.ca/media-centre...

So let me get this straight! Brad Bradford - who's a cyclist and voted in favour of making the Richmond-Adelaide cycle tracks permanent in January 2019 - is now blaming those same bike lanes for gridlock on that street?! SMH! #shame #TOpoli #StopBradford #ReelectChow

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users. ALL ROAD USERS. What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all. For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them. Via @usa.streetsblog.org @nyc.streetsblog.org

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA

Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Hey #Toronto, I just chipped in to support Olivia Chow’s re-election campaign & you should too! I did it because I want to keep building on what’s already working - school meals for kids, frozen transit fares and real investments in this city. #TOpoli #ReelectChow share.oliviachow.ca/s/NVLWnecd

Here's the latest facepalm from Stephen Holyday; being the lone vote against the development of a maximum temperature bylaw! Those who live in #Etobicoke Centre need to vote @thismomroars.bsky.social in October and send Holyday packing! If you can donate or volunteer, even better. #TOpoli

Matt Elliott@graphicmatt.com · last mo.

Holyday asks what about tenants who WANT their homes to be warmer than 26 degrees. Would this bylaw force their landlords to keep units at temps residents don't want? Staff say that's unlikely, and that excess heat is a "health emergency."

Thank you @joshmatlow.bsky.social & @chrismoise.ca for getting this pedestrian streets program motion through council! Look forward to seeing what comes out of this matter, but we still need to ask candidates for public office to support pedestrianization and open streets. #WalkTO #BikeTO #TOpoli

Matt Elliott@graphicmatt.com · last mo.

Matlow's motion to create a Pedestrian Streets Program for Toronto CARRIES without debate, 16-6. Report due Q1 2027.

I’m running! Serving as your TDSB Trustee has been an honour. Now, I’m ready to bring this same dedication, transparency and people-centred leadership to City Council. I’m running to move forward rooted in community—from representation to results. Learn more and join the campaign: votedebbieking.ca

@joshmatlow.bsky.social great interview on CBC. It’s absurd the TPS are policing a couple of blocks open for pedestrians. When I lived in Brooklyn I enjoyed blocks of Vanderbilt Ave lively with people consistent from spring to fall!! No police. Physical barriers. A few volunteers. phos.nyc
