Toronto continuing its long tradition of implementing Vision Zero by doing none of the things the cities with 0 pedestrian deaths do and all of the things that slow down transit.
The TTC is going to purposely run its own transit line slower through intersections, resulting in lower frequency, and less ridership - because “that’s what we do with other streetcars” and now I’m hearing there might be some vision zero policy excuse?!

In 1781, in the town of Sorel in the colony of the Province of Quebec, the Baroness Riedesel hosted a party.
At that party, she unveiled a fir tree decorated with fruits and candles.
This is the story of North America's first Christmas Tree.

Got approval for variances for a nice 3 storey, 10 unit apartment building today. The major streets planning permissions were a big help in reducing the number of variances needed, and what was left were very reasonable. 571 Oakwood

So the station name really isn’t TMU, it’s “TMU formerly Dundas” .

Eagle-eyed readers will have noticed this means we're inching towards a backlog of three full years worth of capital budget spending. The city, ridiculously, continues to characterize this as insufficient and suggests we should have the entire *10 years* worth of funds at the ready. 5/

Toronto has $14 billion sitting around.
Now the bad. Though we're improving capital underspending, we still are still doing it and so the reserves are going up at a ridiculous pace. They are up $1.7 billion on the year to $14 billion sitting around doing nothing for us (this should come down by $500M by year end based on past trends) 4/
