3 h. ago Toronto coffee shop opened over COVID is closing down and here's what's replacing it

A Toronto coffee shop that exemplified the trendy minimalist aesthetic is officially calling it quits.There had been whispers about the impending closure of Dundas West's Hamers Coffee for weeks before the specialty coffee shop's owner, Derek, took to Instagram in mid-June to confirm the rumours.Opening its doors in early 2020, the cafe's ability to stick around despite opening at perhaps the worst possible time for a new business in the last decade is a testament to just how quickly Hamers became a cherished part of the neighbourhood.With a sleek, minimal interior and small-but-mighty menu, which included some truly to-die-for sandwiches, Hamers has become a cornerstone of Dundas West over its five years in business — no small feat in a neighbourhood renowned for its never-ending influx of buzzy businesses.Hamers' reign in the neighbourhood is soon to come to a close, though, as the team prepares to close it down for good after its final service on Sunday,...

11 h. ago Divisive Toronto bus lanes shortened but not for the reason you think

There's one proposed road change that has been kicking up more controversy in Toronto lately than even cycling paths and construction-related closures: bus lanes.As part of its RapidTO project to prioritize the flow of transit vehicles, the City revealed plans for TTC-only lanes on Bathurst and Dufferin streets, two thoroughfares that, like most major roads in Toronto, are perpetually backed up with traffic.While the dedicated lanes were recommended in light of the congestion that will inevitably come from the upcoming FIFA World Cup — for which we are hosting six matches at BMO Field next summer — they are something some residents have been requesting, at least on Dufferin, for years.However, those who have gone to considerable lengths to advocate for the additions have now been met with equally strong dissent from locals, many of whom are business owners, who argue that the on-street parking that would be...
