This is the current lineup to get on a ferry to the Toronto Islands. It extends out of the ferry terminal and around the block.
It's time to build the bridge!

- Build the bridge! We could bike to the islands in less time than it takes to wait for a ferry. Public parks should be freely accessible to the public. It's a 250 meter bridge. #TOpoli
If you're planning to visit the Toronto Islands today, two out of the five public ferries are out of service and long wait times are anticipated. bit.ly/3Vtjkr8 - Toronto City Council should act fast and install the planned 2025-2027 Cycling Network Plan before Ford's ban comes into effect. Biking is perhaps the only infrastructure in the city that can actually keep up with population growth. Biking should be encouraged and safe.SCOOP: @CBCNews has learned the Doug Ford government is considering legislation to ban municipalities from building any new bike lanes that result in reducing any motor vehicle lanes. #onpoli 👇🏻Full story👇🏻 cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
- Hot take: Once the Spadina streetcars are back, we should convert the temporary dedicated bus lanes into bike lanes. This pilot shows there is space for it and car traffic wouldn't be affected. #bikeTOSouthbound travel times for transit riders on Spadina Avenue have been reduced by almost half during peak hours after dedicated bus lanes were added to temporarily replace the 510 streetcar, @MayorOliviaChow just told reporters at Spadina x Front.
- As a passionate Swiftie and Torontonian, please note: 1. Rogers paid for the temporary street renaming, not taxpayers. 2. The signs will be auctioned off for charity. 3. Taylor's 6 shows in Toronto are estimated to bring in over $420M in GDP. You need to calm down.People are angry that Toronto has renamed a bunch of streets 'Taylor Swift Way'😬 blogto.com/music/2024/11/…
- The polls are clear: Bonnie Crombie's Ontario Liberals are the only ones who can challenge Doug Ford. Please help us stop Doug Ford by voting Liberal this election. voteforapril.com
- Thrilled to see environmental advocate @AOC proudly bringing her own reusable mug. Coffee cups are *not* recyclable - billions go to landfill each year. I want to see more politicians who support #ClimateChange policy reduce their own carbon footprint.
- The traffic anarchy I experienced in rush hour today was next level. Complete standstill at Front + Spadina, Front + University due to cars blocking the box. Zero traffic agents. Zero tickets given. These announcements are useless without enforcement.City of Toronto increases fines as part of Don’t Block the Box program to help combat congestion and enhance road safety News release: toronto.ca/news/city-of-t…
- I wrote this column in today's @TorontoStar Here’s my pitch: we need to create a stop on the Union Pearson Express at King Street and Atlantic Avenue. The Union Pearson Express would take residents from Liberty Village to Union Station in five minutes.
- This is why I proposed building a pedestrian cycling bridge to the Toronto Islands. The Islands are a public park and should be free to access. So much attention is on keeping Ontario Place public, yet the public Islands aren't free either. #TOpoliLine ups for the Toronto Island ferry were extra bad this long weekend - 🎥 Ismail (ism_8585) #Toronto #TorontoIslands
