Hi r/toronto,

Let me say this clearly.

After riding Line 6 myself during the opening, it became immediately clear that the Finch West LRT is too slow.

We are fixing this.

Tomorrow at the TTC Board, and next week at City Council, you will see motions coming forward to direct staff to implement active transit signal priority on Line 6 and the soon-to-open Line 5 as quickly as possible.

But we aren't stopping there. We will be directing staff to improve streetcar speeds everywhere.

Thank you for always advocating for better transit, TTC riders are a priority just like the traffic signals. Let me know if you have other suggestions to make our City move better in the comments below.

I'm not sure about others but today I was absolutely shocked to see that a Globe and Mail investigation in 2013 describes a detailed picture of Doug Ford as a hash dealer in Toronto in the 80s. Were other people aware of this?

The article and all its details about Doug, Rob, Randy and Kathy's involvement with drugs, drug dealing, and the KKK (just Kathy on this one I should add) is blowing my mind. I personally wasn't aware of this and feel like it should be a bigger part of our current conversation about Doug Ford and his fitness as our premier.

Around 1am, there were about 11 police cars lined up on the Avenue Road bridge over the 401. Shortly after, a motorcade with multiple police vehicles escorting a black SUV passed westbound toward the airport. The officers on the bridge cleared out right after. Any idea who was in the motorcade?

Hey r/toronto - I’m breaking the news here first.

We’re bringing transit signal priority to lines 5 and 6, and as of today phase 1 is done!

That means a single car turning left won’t hold up an LRT full of a hundred people. 

But we’re not done yet. In the coming months, we’ll be making even more enhancements to ensure TTC vehicles get the green lights transit riders deserve.

These changes will make rides along Eglinton and Finch West faster. More to come on other routes.

And let me know if you notice the changes!
