We should be expanding UP Express service, not reducing it. It's an amazing service that should be running at least every 10 minutes.

With the new Cherry Street bikelane opening, it makes sense to build the 250 metre pedestrian-cycling bridge to the islands. The new bike lanes go to the bridge location I proposed!

We could bike to the islands in less time than it takes to wait for a ferry!

I'm happy we're adding library hours.

However, right now we need to seriously address that the Toronto Public Library system has been down for months since the cyber attack and it's nearly impossible to find a book you're looking for. We rely on this city service.

Where are the newly promised traffic wardens on King Street?

We really need them today. The King streetcar is stuck in the middle of University. Cars can't go south through the intersection and the rest of the streetcars are stuck behind or diverting.

The City of Toronto is currently determining where to build and upgrade cycling infrastructure from 2025 - 2027, and they want your feedback!

The deadline to take the Cycling Network Plan survey has been extended to tomorrow. Share your thoughts here:

There was no reason for Toronto City Council to suddenly cap the # of Uber/Lyft licenses without notice.

The City's objective was to reduce emissions but the reality is that rideshare enables many Torontonians (like me) to not own a car. The TTC is often unreliable.

Stop using unhoused Torontonians as political pawns.

Toronto asked the Federal govt to open armories as shelters.

The Federal govt offered to open armories for a month AND pay $5M to turn Better Living Center into a shelter.

Toronto rejected the offer.

There's an important motion at City Council today to improve King Street by:
- reporting on the King streetcar performance
- improving the public realm, and
- automated traffic enforcement

I support this! King Street needs a glow up.

I've celebrated family Bat and Bar Mitzvahs at Beth Tikvah.

Anti-semitic attacks are getting way too close to home for Jewish people in Canada.

This blatant violent anti-semitism needs to stop now.

A Toronto Jewish Community Center is not the place to protest the war.

The JCC is literally a daycare, school and gym. It's one of the few Jewish spots downtown.

Jewish people deserve to feel safe in Toronto.

Harassing Jewish businesses is blatant anti-semitism.

And it's happening in downtown Toronto. In my ward.

This needs to be called out.

I ate at Cafe Landwer last week (and had the best rozalach!) and I will continue to proudly frequent Jewish establishments.

Does anyone else find it funny that the McDonalds at Queen and Spadina will *not* be demolished for the Ontario Line construction while two of the other (nicer) buildings at the intersection will be?
