Many months late but I did a pilgrimage to the Line 6 Finch West LRT.

Rode from Finch West to Humber and back (with a stop at Plaza Latina)

I liked the train, comfortable and mostly smooth.

But after Chow announcement that signal priority was active… I wonder if they had to roll it back? We had to stop at almost half the red lights. This line would be amazing if only it wasn’t stopping all-the-time.

A very strong argument from @moretransitso that any westward extension of Line 4 should cross Downsview before development to save money and to create more transit ridership and enable future GO connections too:

The Sheppard Subway Must Serve the Downsview Airport Development

Metrolinx is planning on extending the Sheppard Subway, and there is a huge opportunity to extend the line to Toronto's largest development, while the site is empty and before construction starts.

Love to see advocacy for the Sheppard subway

However with so much density already out east in Scarborough the priority is really on serving existing residents, not a potential development in Downsview that might or might not pan out with the current halt on new condo construction.

The Toronto Star did a good one-two punch this morning on Doug Ford's FOI changes. In addition to the article on the bike lane e-mails, here's an article showing other government secrets the FOI changes would have kept under wraps. #BikeTO #TOpoli #ONpoli www.thestar.com/news/ontario...

This morning, I took my gravel bike for its first ride of 2026 to check out some of the construction along the East Don Trail and the Lower Don Trail. If you are able to go for a ride this afternoon, do it since it's beautiful out! #BikeTO #BikeSky #TOpoli www.twowheeledpolitics.ca/2026/04/apri...

Look what the Ford Government uses to justify turfing elected officials in Simcoe and Niagara? Toronto City Council, which Ford cut in half in the middle of an election! news.ontario.ca/en/release/1... #topoli #onpoli
