I haven’t heard a vision for Toronto since David Miller’s campaign.

“Public support becomes easier to galvanize once something exists and gains value in residents’ lives.” A similar note in @michaelkimmelman.bsky.social’s piece today www.nytimes.com/2025/08/23/h...

While living in Montreal the shift of public and especially businesses perception and enthusiasm for over the years as they ramped up the pedestrianized streets was truly a thing to behold. By the second year of some streets doing it the constant cries of “it will destroy” became a whisper

And look at the lasting success. @jskstreet.bsky.social showed the way in New York. Yet Toronto’s government stubbornly insists on doing things in the opposite fashion

On a long walk recenrlg I found myself in Kensington market at sunset bought a pre roll and ended up spending what must of have been half an hour in disbelief over how pathetic and sad the road sharing attempts were Other than transit a few scattered about the city pedestrian areas would do so much

I like to name it now obsessive compulsive organisational disorder
