TTC proposes #RapidTO on Jane Street

Anyone who has been driving or taking the bus on Jane Street knows that it's been in need of traffic relief for quite a long time now. Finally, the City of Toronto is coming up with some ideas and you get a chance to express your view.

CityTv has a quick presentation on RapidTO on Jane St (also: tcn-trtjs) as well as zone-based transit fares. Steve Munro discusses the removal of stops (part of the proposal) as well as a few other important issues on his blog (sm-rl4js), and there is even a Reddit discussion (rdt-rtojstcons).

The City of Toronto page (tc-rpdtjnst) is by far the most important, having the PDF presentation, the survey that can be taken before April 3, the virtual meeting minutes from March 8 (soon?), as well as public drop-in events:

The public drop-in events are an in-person opportunity to review display panels and detailed drawings at your leisure. Members of the project team are available to help answer any questions and record your comments. You may drop in and leave at any time.

Date: Wednesday, March 22, 2023
Time: 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Location: Driftwood Community Recreation Centre, 4401 Jane St.

Date: Tuesday, March 28, 2023
Time: 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Location: Clairvaux Hall, 1795 Lawrence Ave. W.

These are wheelchair-accessible venues. Please contact us at rapidto@toronto.ca or 416-338-7797 72 hours in advance if you require additional accommodation.

Get involved!

Water quality tests data shows elevated lead levels in Toronto homes | Toronto Star

Councillor Karen Stintz (Ward 16, Eglinton-Lawrence), a mayoral candidate whose riding had an 18-per-cent failure rate on nearly 1,000 tests, said financial incentives for homeowners who want to replace their lead pipes is worth consideration. “If that’s the reason people aren’t replacing the pipes, then I think we have an obligation to look at that,” she said. “People expect that when they turn on their taps, the water is safe to drink. It’s a reasonable expectation and one we need to make sure we deliver on.”

Doug Ford defends comments about new ‘nightmare’ youth group home in Toronto | National Post

The city councillor brother of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford did not back down Sunday from comments about a home for developmentally disabled youth in his ward, saying it is a “nightmare” for the neighbourhood. Coun. Doug Ford told TV station CP24 that his “heart goes out” to families with autistic children, but he said this issue is about kids in the residential home who have “violent tendencies.” “I’ve been a Rotarian for 25 years helping kids with challenges, but you can’t disrupt the neighbourhood like that,” Ford said. .
