Are there any traffic engineers out there who can explain why someone should have to push a button for a walk signal to appear? What is the downside of a walk signal appearing w every green light, even if no pedestrians are crossing?

Two of 46 (yes, 46!) @canadapostcorp vehicles who drove by @_CMHospital to honour the staff. Thanks for the support from fellow essential #COVID19 workers. So much appreciated!

Crafters and artists of the internet, I don’t want to alarm anyone, but the time has come. We never thought it would happen, but here it is. It’s time.
Use the good art supplies you were saving.

There is one of those "North American goes biking in the Netherlands" things in the New Yorker; nothing you haven't seen before.
What I want to do is take a Dutch person biking in Toronto, traumatizing them for life
Hey, @hudsonsbay, do you price match or not? Your website says you do, but your call centre doesn’t seem to be on the same page.

It's with great sadness we announce the passing of Donald B. McIntyre, an inaugurate member of MMMC Architects. Founding architects Gilbert Mark, Gerald Musselman, Donald McIntyre and Lawrence Combe were classmates and graduates of @UofT School of Architecture class of 1955.

I want to congratulate @brucemcintosh for standing up for kids with autism by resigning from @AmyFeePC 's office today over the backwards changes to the OAP. Bruce has always fought for kids with ASD and is putting their needs before his own

A very cold day like today is an opportunity for traffic engineers to get outside and experience what it's like for pedestrians to wait at intersections while drivers get advance turns. An empathy building exercise (assuming they care about the dignity & well-being of residents).

The world's best cities are those that are a pleasure to walk through.
