90 m. 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...

2 h. ago International bakery chain known for healthy cake opening first Toronto location

An international bakery chain known for what it calls "healthy" versions of classic treats is about to open its first-ever Canadian location in Toronto.You may assume that ingredients like sugar, gluten, and dairy are integral pillars for almost any baked good, and, most of the time, you'd be right. However, one European bakery chain that's about to make its Canadian debut is on a mission to prove that you can have sweet treats that still hit the spot without any of those things.We'll be the judges of that.Landing on Bloor West this summer by way of Poland is FitCake, a chain that touts itself as "the first and largest non-pastry shop in the world," and currently boasts nine locations in Poland, with an additional presence in Austria, Sweden, Spain, and Malta.So, what makes the cakes so "fit"? The bakery (or, non-pastry shop, if you prefer) is completely sugar-free, lactose-free, gluten-free, and vegan, but, if its rapid expansion across Europe can be used as any indi...

8 h. ago Vandals just cut down Toronto's most notorious speed camera for 6th time

In a story that is starting to feel a little repetitive, vandals have once again cut down Toronto's most controversial automated speed enforcement camera.The Parkside Drive automated speed enforcement camera was cut down yet again overnight on Tuesday, marking the sixth time the device has been chopped down in the last eight months.Toronto Police had even taken recent steps to prevent further vandalism, including the addition of a surveillance camera this summer in the wake of another downing incident.It seems you can install a speed camera and you can reinstall a speed camera — heck, you can even install a surveillance camera to monitor the speed camera — but in the end, none of these answers have proven to be effective long-term solutions.First installed in 2021 following a fatal five-car collision, the camera is estimated to have raked in over $7.3 million in fines to date through just shy of 68,600 traffic tickets.While championed by vulnerable road us...
