In spite of Premier Doug Ford's anti-bike lane sentiments and legislation, the City of Toronto is moving to transform a number of streets to better prioritize pedestrians and cyclists under the assumption that so long as no traffic lanes are removed during the revamps, the projects won't be subject to the province's new Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act.Among the numerous kilometres of roadway eyed for the new infrastructure are two bridges due to be replaced to help prevent flooding in the Rockcliffe-Smythe neighbourhood, which is designated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) as one of the most at-risk for river overflows and backups during storms.The two viaducts, which are 1960s-era and cross over Black Creek at Jane Street and Scarlett Road, will be reconstructed and increased in height as nearby flood channels are expanded and the surrounding land is stabilized.At the same time, the roadways will also be widened, and ...

Doug Ford was re-elected for his third term as Premier of Ontario on Thursday night, evoking mixed reactions across the province.The Progressive Conservative (PC) party's third consecutive majority victory is certainly a rare one — a feat not seen since 1959 — and also took place during the first winter election the province has had in 44 years.Despite public uproar regarding Ford's many scandals over his tenure, only 45 per cent of eligible residents turned out to have their say in the snap vote, which was called just 29 days prior to election day.The result was disappointing to many in downtown Toronto, which appears on result maps as a mosaic of NDP orange and Liberal red amid the sea of PC blue that dominated the vast majority of the rest of southern Ontario.Greeting his constituents right after the win, Ford, jubilant and relieved, repeatedly thanked the crowd for their cheers and applause before commenting on the evening.Doug Ford re-elected Pre...
