The Eglinton LRT opens tomorrow, which is exciting for our community. It's a great milestone... and I've been thinking a lot about how we could modify the at-grade portion of the Eglinton LRT so that the experience and operations are more like the underground portion.

If you do read it, let me know your thoughts — I want to talk about this with people!

I am going to try to write & draw more often. I want to share my thoughts on our city & province, get feedback, talk with others, hear your ideas. That's how we get the best future for Toronto & Ontario!
