Sheppard West

Just in case you were wondering what is all the hoopla with bike lanes when traffic is already so bad in our city, here's fresh new proof that this helps alleviate the problems.

Police is investigating a stabbing in our area and tow truck drivers are protesting a new law.

A traffic accident and a shooting in our community in the past couple of days leave us wishing there were better news to report.

The success of this event is not just in the massive turnout, but also in the fact and Toronto's sclerotic press covered this event.

A shooting back in April 2015 resulted in the officer who did the shooting being investigated.

Our big city cannot wait for SmartTrack to come or evolve, so TTC is showing some initiative and launches new routes, smartly.

An elderly pedestrian died after being hit by a car.

Two artists have started trolling Old City Hall (and, presumably, other sites) with fake “Development Proposal” signs as a commentary on the condo boom.

One person is in hospital following a single-vehicle crash in Downsview.

Toronto has only two seasons: winter and construction. Now with the HOV controversy (where, again, Toronto's bad boy Rob Ford made headlines telling us that he breaks the law), a huge sinkhole on Eglinton Ave West is definitely not helping.

It's hard to imagine, but the same intersection saw 2 drunk drivers colliding with police cars within hours.

Earlier this year, when the school year started, we learned about a school bus driver shortage. Now we’re learning about suboptimal performance of said companies.

In comparison to the United States, Toronto and Montreal score better than any large U.S. city except New York and San Francisco. And Vancouver, with a Transit Score of 74, trounces nearby Seattle (our home town), with a Transit Score of 57.

Toll Roads may not be an optimal solution, but with Toronto willing to maintain the lowest property taxes in the are while cementing its reputation as a world class city, alternate sources of financing have to be found.

The story of police understaffing has been somehow dominating the headlines for quite a while. Although there are far more police per capita in Toronto than in London for instance, Toronto police officers are reportedly so “demoralized” that they took a symbolic vote against Chief Mark Saunders.
