So does Josh Matlow, who’s basically no less of a “she/her” than Bravo is. (Surely Brava, Alexandra‽) Both of them got motions passed at City Council to ban parking and stopping on St. Clair.
Except only at two corners, Dufferin and Bathurst/Vaughan.
Certainly the latter makes sense. But that took a mere two months. And not coïncidentally, both motions were backed by “second black chair” of the TTC Jamaal Myers (no relation).
“Traffic during construction has been frustrating,” Bravo wrote, with rather less of an imperative than her attacks on fascism. (So much work to do there!) These motions were deemed urgent because signage work has to begin immediately.
But that isn’t what’s happening at Bathurst today. It’s something to do with sewer maintenance, and has made the Sisyphean ordeal of getting through that red light much worse for two days.
Indeed the only measure of success or failure of these motions is how many fewer red lights the 512 will have to sit through. Nobody will be keeping count.
This streetcar diversion was known for months in advance, yet it has fallen to me and a few other civilians to list all the remediations that should have been set up well before Day 1. None of them have been.
