The city has to plan more roads for that area and more transit. It is already chaos and that is a lot more people.
There's a relief road that runs behind the complex to connect park lawn to the Gardiner
And all the parking spots are connected so cars can exit on any side of the complex
They are projecting a drop in traffic and with the new layout, there will be less jams.
Can't forget the impact of GO station and LRT too
People will say but what about when Gardiner closes... But Lakeshore clogs in new Toronto too when Gardiner closes so it can't be prevented
Tokens, tickets, and passes won't be sold in stations starting November 30th. lol
Seriously, fuck everything about the TTC. Most garbage "service" this city has
They weren't loading commuters at pape. Instead they were supposed to go to the northwest corner of Pape and Danforth, but there were no TTC supervisor or attendants to guide people. Then there we no shuttle buses fast enough so there was just more and more people amassing at that corner to the point it spilled into the street and now there is a congestion because cars and buses can't move.
Who thought of this asinine way of dealing with shuttle buses? There was a TTC supervisor blocking the entrance of an empty shuttle bus at the station telling people they need to go to the corner.
Ok power outage may happen, but the moment the TTC knows that they need shuttle buses, every bus coming into the designated drop off station needs to stop where it's going and needs to turn into a shuttle bus to deal with the onslaught of passengers that are going to get off there, specially at rush hour. You can call in for others too but immediate action needs to be taken

I was driving home the other day and was stuck behind a garbage truck. What happened was pretty unsettling. I was honked incessantly for not passing the garbage truck even though it seemed pretty unsafe. Even the TTC bus driver wouldn't wait. Am I in the wrong here?
I was wondering if it was the Pape route and then saw the 72 bus. lol
I don't really know the actual rules of the road, but yeah, people just go around the trucks all the time on Pape because of the parked cars. I guess ideally you wouldn't be allowed to park on garbage pickup day, but it just seems like driving into the other lane is the only solution.
Anything free or cheap to do in the city during Jan/Feb?
We're trying to watch our budget as we've been spending a crazy amount going out to eat and stuff this past year.
Right now I only have the Light Festival at Distillery. Winter is such a bore...

Cinesphere and The Revue hold showings of older movies throughout the year. I've been going to them a lot.
The Loop Exhibit at York Street Park begins next week.
I don't know if I'd say cheap, but as far as worthwhile discounts go, Winterlicious begins next week, and there are plenty 2-for-1 discounts on select weekends, see: https://www.seetorontonow.com/spotlight/
Who got amber alert for Pickering nuclear plant lol?
My brother got it and messaged me with cryptic "scary" but I didn't know what was up because I didn't receive one.
Apprently it was a mistake. Some Homer Simpson must have pushed the big red button by accident.

Has anyone here ever been to a Raptors game? I'm trying to figure out what the minimum for a good seat would be. Some of the "cheap" seats seem like you'd be watching ants play, but the expensive seats make me want to die.
Just don't get obstructed or standing room, you can see pretty well from the purples
Used to be able to get lower bowl seat upgrades for some games by donating to the MLSE charity, but the team sucked back then
12 dollar ticket + 20 dollar donation = reds or golds lol
I'm sure some of Team Hot will pipe up and let me know how evil it is out. I'm enjoying it myself
mississauga is getting a big downtown
Meetup Thread has been created for this Saturday!
Heads-up for anyone who gets their internet through Beanfield, or has been thinking of it: They've moved all of their customers to a single tier 1 Gbps/$50 plan.
My internet is now 30,000x faster than when I got my 33.6 kbps modem in 1996. It's hard to visualize that.

It's too bad they are only available on pretty much nee condos on the city.Heads-up for anyone who gets their internet through Beanfield, or has been thinking of it: They've moved all of their customers to a single tier 1 Gbps/$50 plan.

I know this is extremely early, but I'm going to post this here and on Discord to gauge numbers. Some of us during the last Meetup talked about spicing up the next set of Meetups. One of them was going to Wonderland before the summer and the crowds. I just want numbers so we could maybe do a package deal or something. For now, I just want to know how many people are interested. Please Vote on this strawpoll.

Interested in going to Wonderland at May on a Friday? (It would be the entire day, might need to take the day off)

Well the state of the condo market is becoming grimmer by the day. I get emails for new buildings from my old realtor and he sent me this yesterday.
This is around blue jays way and king street so it's a nice location but the prices are absurd.
$575k for 370sq feet studio
$125k for a parking spot.

Team warm, let's get it! 9 degrees on March 8!
Although, I completely missed the daylight savings change. Sigh.

A sombre de Villa announced the new measures along with news that Toronto has recorded its first "community transmission" — three people with COVID-19 whose infection cannot be traced to recent travel or close contact with somebody who was abroad.
Investigations continue to identify the source of those infections, which signal a new stage in the outbreak.
De Villa's recommendations echoed those made by Ontario's chief medical officer of health, Dr. David Williams, who also recommended daycares close and gatherings be limited to 50 people or less during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Toronto’s medical officer of health asks bars to close, restaurants to do takeout and delivery only
Dr. Eileen de Villa warned closures could be ordered for establishments that defied her recommendation Monday under the Health Protection and Promotion Act.

To be honest I'm thinking they might even increase the fare again lol
So I went and checked for anyone that wanted to know, apparently for the yearly presto card holders, you can cancel by March 22 to not get the April one and the TTC is waiving the cancellation fee (normally the cancellation fee is the difference between the 12 month pass and the normal pass for the time you've been on the plan)
The only issue is that getting back on the 12 month plan might be a bitch
Gotta pay for all the OT workers are making covering for those staying home.
Maybe I'm naive but I don't mind paying.
There are people who need the service and I'm glad the TTC hasn't completely shut down.
