After I posted this video & community organizers have been flyering, the local councillor has finally decided to act but he's not going far enough. Can you send Council a letter by Tuesday w/ Common Horizon Toronto's email template to push him to do the right thing? actionnetwork.org/letters/mora...

Today's wildfire smoke has made air quality beyond terrible. We shouldn't have to live with more days like this. All levels of government can help fight the climate crisis, but leadership at City Hall is key — help me win that fight: www.KevinR.ca/climate #TOPoli #Wildfire #Climate #Scarborough #SSW

A fun (if heartbreaking) time watching Canada v Morocco at Stone Cottage Pub! A lil rain didn't stop everyone from enjoying the game on the patio. It's been amazing to see Canada's growth in football and no doubt we'll be back ready for more in 4 years! ⚽ #FIFA #Canada #Scarborough #Soccer #Football

CN Tower looking great during golden hour just a couple days after its Golden Jubilee - happy belated 50th birthday to the GOAT! 🍁🎉🥳

Solstice sunset in Scarborough. Beautiful moment between the longest day and the shortest night yesterday near Kennedy Station.

Doing my Tamil language worksheets on the Eglinton LRT enroute to a housewarming, what a timeline 🧠🚊

It's been 6 years since a Friday the 13th in March. I wonder if anything notable happened afterwards. 🤔

Feeling happy about our city today! Torontonians are so used to things not going well, it's a bit surreal when things are better today than they were yesterday... And surreal it is to ride the Eglinton LRT after 15 years! I had a great sunrise ride to Mount Dennis and back.

Noooooo it's too soon 😭😭

I've been thinking about how to modify the at-grade portion of the #EglintonLRT so that the experience & operations are more like the underground portion. I've put some words and drawings together & I'm happy to hear your thoughts! #TOpoli #Transit #TTC kevinrupasinghe.substack.com/p/improving-...

Improving the Eglinton LRT - Fewer Intersections

An ongoing question we'll need to answer: How do we modify the at-grade portion of the Eglinton LRT so that the experience and operations are more like the underground portion?

Another example of how shoulder stations that serve all GO lines, say at Spadina & at Sherbourne, would make the entire GO network more resilient to issues at Union. This is crippling our entire region. www.thestar.com/news/gta/go-...

GO train disabled near Union Station causes delays and chaos for Toronto-area commuters

Crews are working on the issue, but trains will not move through the area until the issue is fixed, according to a service update on the GO website.

I'm sorry to pile onto Finch West LRT further, but 350 delays in December is wild, considering it was only scheduled for 392 operating hours in December; that's nearly 1 delay per hour - and that ignores the hours it was supposed to be running but wasn't! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I wanted to compare what I saw on Seattle's Line 1 LRT with Toronto's Finch LRT. In Seattle, you can see left turning cars waiting while fast-moving transit gets priority. Help TTCriders make it happen in Toronto: www.ttcriders.ca/greenlight 📸: @wk1998.bsky.social / @kevinrupasinghe.bsky.social

🚍‼️ The new #TTC #RapidTO bus lanes on #Dufferin are great! Next, they should be: -⬆️ extended north from Bloor to Eglinton -🚌 paired w/ frequent & reliable service -↔️ added to Finch, Lawrence, Jane & Steeles ✍🏾 Sign @ttcriders.bsky.social petition to expand & improve them: www.TTCriders.ca/Lanes

தமிழ் ஆய்வுகள்! It's been a joy learning Tamil this autumn. My vocabulary is minimal, my writing is messy, but I've picked up 12 vowels & 18 consonants & 216 syllables in 2 months ✍🏾 Looking forward to being quadrilingual, and I'm pleased to better connect with my homeland and my Tamil brothers & sisters!

Biidaasige Park on Ookwemin Minising island is phenomenal. A gem in the city. Something Toronto should be proud of & quite the feat along with renaturalizing the mouth of the Don River to manage flooding. Congratulations to everyone involved with the new Port Lands! #BiidaasigePark #OokweminMinising

Help expand car share across Toronto - send an email to City Council! www.kevrup.ca/carshare Toronto has outdated & unfair rules about on-street permit parking in Scarborough, North York & Etobicoke residents which prevent car share from operating in these areas. [1/3]
