Kind of sad, but this sounds an awful lot like #TorontoDanforth.
It's the only way to explain to constituents why we'd cancel a protected cycling infrastructure project South of Danforth Av and cancel prioritizing the safety of vulnerable road users North of Danforth Av.

It is unfortunate that this type of cultural placemaking wasn’t already baked into the plans.
The #LittleJamaica neighbourhood has been a forgotten footnote in so much of Toronto past & hasn’t been at the table for the present or future.

Incredible that Councillor Holyday continues to fight against transit at every opportunity, despite proof that better transit reduces congestion and improves social outcomes. #TOpoli #BudgetTO #toronto

Given today's Toronto City Council meeting and final vote to decide the 2026 Budget, folks may appreciate this evening's explainer on how it's crafted but not necessarily understandable.
#BudgetTO
Once again, Ass Assford is clueless about the budget. Not just on reserve funds, but also on the tired Ford/Tory trope of limiting property tax hikes to inflation. He needs to be challenged on what he would sacrifice to do this. Service cuts? Higher TTC fares? User fee hikes? #TOpoli #BudgetTO
Appreciate having @mayoroliviachow.ca on this evening’s #BudgetTO Town Hall for #TorontoDanforth
Disappointed but not at all surprised that all questions were answered…except mine. Prioritizing the safety of vulnerable road users! Again disappointed but not surprised. #BikeTO #VisionZero
Yes❤️ @jocelynsquires.bsky.social Doesn’t take away from the crazy going on in the world. Just reinforces we’ve got work to do right here, right now.

Appreciate this deep dive into the fog of #BudgetTO @henrikbechmann.bsky.social
Putting together an open letter to @shelleycarroll.bsky.social She'll be at #TorontoDanforth's Town Hall on Feb 3rd. Will add your commentary
Cc: @planningtoronto.bsky.social @ttcriders.bsky.social @thelocal.to
I wonder if this type of forward thinking, prioritized public transit infrastructure (red-paint) could be brought into #TorontoDanforth?
Broadview Av to Dundas St E & Queen St
&
Gerrard St E and Queen St E from Broadview Av to Coxwell Av
Will ask @shelleycarroll.bsky.social on Feb 3rd #BudgetTO
With #BudgetTO consultation happening soon, it will be interesting to see what #TorontoDanforth has in terms of infrastructure investments to meet #VisionZero requirements. Is access for cars more important than the lives of kids?

1. How many affordable housing projects are coming to Danforth Av beyond @woodgreenorg.bsky.social's 60 Bowden St
2. To speed up streetcars, will King St Transit Priority Corridor-like setups be brought to Queen, Gerrard & Broadview
3. Number of new bike lanes?

#BudgetTO for 2026
With our elected municipal rep in #TorontoDanforth voting for the #WorldCup Budget, it would be nice to get a final price tag for all of this.

Whether you're calling for open streets, #BikeTO lanes, #TTC funding, housing, or something else, today is the deadline to complete the 2026 Toronto pre-budget survey! #TOpoli #BudgetTO ca.mar.medallia.com/BudgetTO2026
On my way home from the #BudgetTO town hall, I checked out the new Esplanade #BikeTO lanes from Market to Scott. While it's great people are using them already, the pavement quality is poor and there is a potential conflict area just east of Scott which needs some sorting out to do. #TOpoli
Before the small table discussions, the #BudgetTO presentation showed what Toronto did since Chow took office, as well as dropped a Taylor Swift reference. While her six Eras Tour shows generated almost $300M, the City only got back about $300K of it! This is why Toronto needs revenue tools! #TOpoli
It was a full house at tonight's Toronto budget town hall at St Lawrence Market North Building! While affordable housing & transit were obviously among the top priorities, a couple of newer ones emerged including "doing unsexy work" of repairing buildings and climate action. #TOpoli #BudgetTO
Happy Thanksgiving! Given several #BikeTO public consultations are happening for Kingston Road, Sloane Avenue & Keele Street - along with those for the 2026 budget - my latest blog post rounds them up for your viewing pleasure. #BudgetTO #TOpoli #VisionZero www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2025/10/octo...
An interesting column by @graphicmatt.com on the condo crash's potential impact on Toronto's budget (specifically development charges). However, what also needs to be noted is the increased calls by multiple stakeholders to reduce them further. 🤔 #TOpoli #BudgetTO www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...
Yet another boneheaded move by Stephen Holyday! Doesn't he (and other right wingers on council) realize below inflation property tax hikes contributed to Toronto falling apart fiscally and physically during the Ford and Tory era? #shame #TOpoli #BudgetTO
Thanks @progresstoronto.bsky.social for launching this campaign calling on Toronto City Council to say no to cutting services, school meals, and library hours. And no to hiking #TTC fares. Please sign before the February 11 council meeting. #TOpoli #BudgetTO www.progresstoronto.ca/no-cuts-no-f...
If groups like ABC Toronto - the rumoured right-wing counter to @progresstoronto.bsky.social - don't like Mayor Chow's proposed 6.9% property tax hike, they need to be challenged to provide credible alternatives to addressing Toronto's $1.2 billion budget shortfall. #TOpoli #BudgetTO
2/ ...lots of public-feedback about #AffordableHousing at Sunday afternoon's #BudgetBrunch sessions w/ Councillor(s) Chris Moise, #DianneSaxe & #shelleycarroll.
For those who can't attend any in-person event there are #BudgetTO on-line tools & surveys...
