If @TTChelps wants to get riders back try not having HUNDREDS of riders waiting in the cold at York Mills station for shuttle buses while the shuttles are literally idling 50 metres away. 👎🏾 Like seriously? 🤷🏾‍♂️ This is a PLANNED weekend shuttle service…😒🤦🏾‍♂️

60% of Toronto cllrs are now on record as opposed to Bill 39. Under Bill 39, that still wouldn't be enough to stop legislation supported by the Mayor + 8 cllrs so long as it "aligned" to a provincial priority. Read our letter here ⬇️

Nearly 1/2 of all pedestrian deaths in Toronto are in #Scarborough . The lack of clear pedestrian crossings makes so many of our intersections unsafe. 10 minutes after shooting we saw a van run over a cyclist. Enough. #ScarboroughNorth deserves a cllr who makes safety a priority.

The last time #ScarbTO got a significant mass transit investment was the SRT, 33 years ago. Are we prepared to be stuck with a one-stop subway for 33 years, or would a 24-stop #ScarboroughLRT network serving 92,500 people & 14 priority neighborhoods be better? 🏡 ❤️🚉 #TOpoli

Important to look behind the headlines. The RapidTO bus lanes reduced trip times because stops were removed without consultations. Bus stops in #ScarbTO are often far apart so if you have mobility issues the time saved on the bus is wiped out by the time getting to the bus stop.

I've proudly joined all #Scarborough Councillors, including Deputy Mayor @McKelvieTO to support converting the #SRT to a busway. We now call on all fellow Councillors to support approving the funds needed to continue the design work & keep this project moving forward.

Today I joined @mayorchow @councillorainslie and #TTC CEO Rick Leary in #Scarborough to announce that TTC service will increase to 96% of pre-pandemic levels. This means more frequent and reliable trips, shorter way times, more room on board all while TTC fares remain frozen.

It was exciting to welcome the #StanleyCup to Union Station after its ride on the #TTC today; returning to Toronto for the @NHL #AllStarGame ! Thank you to @Rogers for a great event and let's hope the next time we see the cup, it's in the hands of our @MapleLeafs !

If elected, I will do everything in my power to ensure Toronto Crossing Guards are given a fair collective agreement with a real living wage, sick days and benefits. I will seek to ensure all people working under city contracts will be able to live with dignity and security.

@jen_keesmaat Well is it true or not that you're responsible for a big part of the transit mess we're in based on decisions you helped make when you were chief planner? If it's true, own up to it and accept some responsibility and be part of the solution rather than just trying to CYA.
