in the mayor s initial plan strict enforcement of no stopping regulations on major roads enhanced road closure reporting launch of a multi organizational traffic enforcement team accelerate the 2015 traffic signal re timing program from 250 signals to 350 signals establish more stringent criteria and higher fees for the closure of lanes roads by private development projects speed up public sector construction projects by extending work hours and reducing duration of construction on major roadways if you want to see some specifics around any of these points then just tweet your request here keep in mind that the mayor also told the media that he ll launching this fight against traffic congestion with a new zero tolerance policy which will be rolled out after a month long education period traffic is strangling this city and costing us millions in lost productivity we need to take immediate action to get toronto moving so people can get to work on time and home to their families sooner said mayor tory i believe this issue is so important to the everyday lives of torontonians i will be working with city staff to get this one as soon as possible this leaves many torontonians wondering a few things what can actually be done within the constraints of existing resources and why it s taken so long to start moving things forward on the many underlying issues to begin with and finally what kinds of barriers this latest initiative might face as it gets out of the starting gate at the very least what we get from this announcement is that we have our first policy initiative to track with our new mayor in order to gauge if and how such plans are actually implemented and followed through on it s good to see that the new city hall has its initial priorities in order at least comment tweet or subscribe to get timely updates on any of the following key issues and considerations as they each get developed to see what barriers they face and what benefits they could possibly yield

comments yesterday an incident at yonge and bloor has cyclists asking everyone have you had a bike stolen at yonge and bloor in front of the bay perhaps it wasn t stolen at all at least not in the eyes of the thieves perhaps it was removed by security before jumping to conclusions let s look at the key facts first one thing that seems certain is that brookfield properties owns the building facing the post where bikes have been removed and russell security rssi is contracted by them rssi was allegedly instructed to remove bikes from this pole a ttc pole which at least appears to be on public property incidentally brookfield properties is a division of the same brookfield that was implicated in the infamous zucotti parc eviction threats during occupy wall st but don t let that colour your opinions of this incident too much just the facts ma am the ttc has already stated that although the sign is indeed theirs it s not on their property nor have they instructed the removal of any bikes head of ttc communications brad ross was also very helpful in connecting the dots with city of toronto officials for more info jofergs just found out it is our sign but it s not our property ttc is not giving direction to remove bikes brad ross bradttc august 14 2014 for it s part the city of toronto was not only prompt in their responses and assured that the matter has been reported to right of way management and is being looked into but they also immediately processed a request to public realm for installation of bike post rings at this location ttchelps jofergs i ve

provincial providence rules and regulations safety security what will it take leave a comment jenna morrison reflexology footpath at dufferin grove park courtesy of the city of toronto jenna morrison s tragic fall under the wheels of a truck in 2011 didn t mark the end of her personal legacy within all of the communities that she touched while alive in fact that one terrible moment seems to have marked the spread of even wider awareness for all the matters of health and well being that she held close to her heart this lasting legacy took tangible form on saturday july 26 2014 with the opening of a commemorative reflexology footpath at dufferin grove park as torontonians we now have a wonderfully serene new space in which to reflect upon ourselves our personal well being and our collective place within the city around us but again this should just be another beginning although this impressive memorial offers closure and comfort to her family in the final realization of one of jenna s great dreams as an aspiring health practitioner it also represents the start of an ongoing journey this beautiful new park feature is formed around a carefully designed walkway that follows the path of an infinity symbol reminding us of the ongoing journey that we all experience as a collective of citizens in a great city a reminder that the healing power within ourselves is also supported by the city around us and that there s so much more to explore in this ongoing journey so despite the closing of this particular chapter for jenna s bereft family the commemoration ceremony reminded us that there s still so much more work to be done around the terrible circumstances of her death as well not only for those who continue to raise public awareness around cyclist and traffic safety but most especially those who are also seeking out clear realistic and actionable solutions to these very complex issues in order to actually effect positive change once a critical mass of awareness is achieved can issues be de politicized for greater effect in jenna s memory it behooves us to not simply let these issues turn into political footballs rally cries for advocates or simply historical footnotes rather we could also expand their utility and hold them as ongoing focal points that guide us through the complexities and more meaningful forms of debate and action that could possibly lead to results city of toronto road safety campaign stay alert stay safe of course everyone realizes that achieving greater road safety in a over congested city isn t as simple as proposing a new law or putting signs or paint marks on a road torontonians are seeking ways to live in a more healthy and sustainable city and we already know that we need to look more carefully for the actual sources of issues rather than just trying to mitigate the negative effects wherever they arise to prominence to do so in this case we ll need to open up the scope around traffic and safety issues to include the needs and challenges of all stakeholders not just the special interests of vocal groups or individuals using our communications channels to present and consider the types of options that can enable governments industry and communities to all come together around usable info and shared ideas presenting the smaller tactics that can support bigger strategies without getting road blocked behind things like stalled parliamentary bills or the limited effects of street demonstrations not only looking at what s been done but what s also still required to enact meaningful change councillor ana bailao speaks to this from the point of view of liveable cities and municipal government to start the inauguration ceremony as she presents both jenna s dream as well as a larger civic vision that we can all take part in collectively as councillor ana bailao said in her opening speech last saturday we have to be more conscious and alerted to our surroundings this type of shared awareness and responsibility extends far beyond road safety into the very nature of civic life and our engagement as citizens it s not enough to wait for politicians to move a ball down field or for industry to discover a business case that can benefit us all today we re putting together another dream of another citizen of ours and that s what cities need to make sure they continue to do we need to facilitate that today we open the doors to have more of those dreams come true toronto city councillor ana bailao unfortunately the dialogue around truck safety on our city streets is at risk of becoming silo d into competing interests politicians curry favour with inflated claims of wars on cars being waged or with token gestures for cyclists and pedestrians others simplistically claim that big business resists any change that raises costs pundits assert that our regulators are more responsive to corporate interests than the needs of citizens meanwhile the businesses who operate the engines of our economy need to see clear info useful reporting and sustainable models not emotional appeals or easy comparisons to countries who s circumstances don t match our own so rather than getting into camps over these tough issues let s consider looking for the common ground among all stakeholders and working towards clarity and consensus that can be built upon rather than getting entrenched in the rhetorical positions that usually only serve one side of multi faceted issues councillor ana bailao stands with jenna s partner florian schuck and their son lucas where should we

birthday toronto the t dot to toronto toronto history toronto public library toronto stock exchange 3 comments today the city of toronto turns 180 so let s take a quick peek at how far toronto the good has come by looking at historical snapshots of what has happened on this day in our shared heritage as torontonians on this day in 1834 what had been the town of york incorporated itself under its original name this was derived from the portage route called passage de toronto used by early french canadian traders to reach lac taranteau which was later called lake simcoe the phonetic equivalent toronto was a huron word for the fishing weirs in the narrows connecting lake simcoe to present day lake couchiching the historic site for fort rouillé on the south side of exhibition place marks the location of what was more commonly known as fort toronto built in 1750 51 it was established by order of the marquis de la jonquière governor of new france to help strengthen french control of the great lakes and was located here near the important toronto portage route to entice trade with natives travelling southeast toward the british fur trading centre at the mouth of the oswego river in the present day state of new york almost a century later in 1852 a group of toronto brokers formalised a code of rules and regulations that would underpin the formation of the toronto stock exchange later on that year no records survive of transactions conducted by this early group known as the association of brokers though perhaps they might have traded in furs as well this day in 1884 also marks the opening of the first free public library in toronto that would later become today s toronto public library the newly created board was chaired by john hallam after whom hallam street is named who opened this first library in the former mechanics institute at church and adelaide in 1889 we see a clear indicator of toronto s rigid and conservative upbringing when toronto customs officials destroy novels by the french author emile zola on the grounds that they were obscene zola who was a major figure in the political liberalisation of france would later be nominated for the first and second nobel prize for literature in 1901 and 1902 it s great to see how much toronto has loosened up in 180 years cézanne s paul alexis reading a manuscript to zola share this share on x
