JérômeDid you know that the Toronto Zoo used to run a monorail (ish)?
The 5.6km transit system closed down in 1994. However the concrete structure that supported the rail is still around in the middle of the forest near Scarborough/Rouge Park.
I knew it was reachable because of an old reddit post and also because we can see it from Google Maps.
But I didn't know "how" to get there. So with a few friends we decided to find out

JérômeI attended an info session tonight on the Sheppard East bike lanes that are coming up between Bonnington and Bayview Avenue. Wrote a blog post about it and shared some thoughts on the leadership of our #Willowdale councillor Lily Cheng

JérômeMeet the 24-year-old Ottawa software engineer who runs a MAGA bot
Yep that's what corporate social media is becoming, that's why the fediverse is important, makes it easier to detect and block those attempts to have all our conversations AI generated.
And yeah that person is a piece of shit

JérômeThere's absolutely nothing in the article that mensions the why. Just that the TTC outgoing CEO akcknowledged it would be "tight" for it to open in September.
What confuses me is that the TTC says: It is Metrolinx’s decision. But i thought last month that Metrolinx said the line was "handed to" the TTC. So why is Metrolinx still involved?

JérômeMetrolinx testing of Eglinton LRT is still moving forward and apparently progressing. But still no timelines.
Now they are concerned about how old those Bombardier trains are since i guess a lot of them have been sitting in the garage for years.
It does seem that it's still Metrolinx running the show, so definitely not transferred fully to the TTC

JérômeTired of how much Canadian journalism focus on the US. Sure let's do it about trade policies that impact us.. but their non-stop stupidity and fuckery, we just don't need to see that.
They are gerrymandering in Texas, this is their fucking problem. Why should it be the #1 news of the Canadian public broadcaster? What can I do? How does that concern me?
And yes, human rights abuse should be denounced.
Are we running out of problems in Canada to talk about? I don't think so.
JérômeEglinton Crosstown LRT may be facing yet another delay
Let me die now
