The province is expanding its tow truck zones starting April 1 to restrict more sections of Ontario's highways to contracted companies approved by the Ministry of Transportation. This change aims to improve safety and streamline the towing process.

"This project is symbolic of what we've done over the last 12 years, reshaping the streets and the city," Christophe Najovski, the city's deputy mayor in charge of green spaces, stated during the opening ceremony.

Outdoor maintenance isn't just about keeping your space looking nice, it stops high-traffic areas from becoming a major hazard during wet and cold weather.

Campaigner Aysha Hawcutt stated that residents were 'not anti-homes', but believed the Adlington plan was 'the wrong proposal in the wrong place'. She expressed pride in the community's resilience against the development threats.

A spokesperson for the company said that the incident involved the jib of a tower crane becoming detached from its fixing. The site will remain closed until the incident is fully investigated, the company added. The area will be cleared and deemed safe before construction can be resumed.

When routes are well organized, there are clear directional signs, and speed limits become reasonable. The early installation of warning signs allows transport companies to plan deliveries more accurately and avoid delays. For businesses, time is money. When a truck carrying goods does not spend hours detouring due to an unclear traffic scheme or stuck in traffic where it could have been avoided thanks to competent traffic management, fuel costs, driver wages, and vehicle maintenance costs are reduced.

motorists and anyone using for-hire vehicle services should plan ahead for delays or reroutes due to detours or closures of parts of the airport roadway network until Thursday. It strongly advised customers to use mass transit, such as the Long Island Rail Road, to reach Kennedy Airport during these dates.

Hand that over to me, I'll show you how to do a roundabout in months, as opposed to 13 years. I'll show you how to do a speed bump. Ford called Toronto's city council the most dysfunctional political arena in the entire country when asked about the report and blamed radical left councillors for the city's problems.

Life doesn't pause for grief or fear. You might be going through something devastating but you're still packing lunches, still driving your kids to baseball practice, still showing up to work. One minute I find myself prepping for a whole home presentation and the next minute I'm checking the news, hoping and praying that no one has been killed on the streets today.

It's 2:30 PM on a Tuesday. You're at work. A text arrives from your neighbour: "Your roof tiles are falling in your garden." Your stomach drops. You're thirty minutes from home. You can't leave work immediately. Even if you could, what would you do? Your roof is damaged. You don't have a roofer's number. You don't know what to do first.

Toronto police are warning of traffic delays on the Gardiner Expressway due to a water main break early Monday morning. Around 4:15 a.m., a water main broke in the area of the Gardiner Expressway and Grand Avenue in Etobicoke, police said in a post on X. Police said they are assisting with traffic, with eastbound and westbound lanes reduced following the break. They said drivers should expect delays in the area and consider alternate routes.

The City of Toronto's 2026 budget offers relief many homeowners were looking for in its property tax increase, but it also lays bare the massive amount of infrastructure work hanging over the city in the coming years which, in some cases, may be deferred. With budget season now in full swing at city hall, several city departments will sit in front of the budget committee this week to give presentations on their financial needs this year. Among them will be the parks and recreation department, which is caught up in a nearly $2 billion deferral of work in the 10-year capital plan, which is the city's plan to maintain, renew and grow infrastructure. That work was supposed to be funded by development charges that builders pay to the city, but recent provincial legislation made it so developers could pay those fees once their buildings are occupied, as opposed to when they get their building permits. The change means the city will receive that revenue years later than under the previous rules, so the work it would fund has to be put off, according to city budget documents.

There's no one solution to fix the city's gridlock, Toronto's new chief congestion officer says as he finishes up his first week on the job. Andrew Posluns sat down with CBC Toronto on Friday to discuss the freshly created role, noting there's no magic bullet that will address the city's congestion. There are a lot of factors that feed into congestion, he said. We need to do everything we can in order to be able to mitigate and address the congestion challenges that arise.

The government committed 7.3bn in November's Budget to fix roads over the next four years. The DFT rated 154 local highway authorities as red, amber or green based on road conditions and how well they were using government funds. The vast majority were rated as amber, meaning they were patching up roads and had preventative measures in place but there was still room for improvement.

Brian Mitchell, 72, was killed by a train terminating at Stratford on 26 December 2023. The emergency brakes were not applied by any of the four incoming train operators, the inquest into his death heard. Mitchell had spent almost an hour at the end of the platform before he fell on to the track. He had 272mg of alcohol in his system, more than three times the legal driving limit.

"Cyclists shouldn't be left on red," Stevenson wrote in an article for news website MyLondon. The traffic light system that prioritises buses contains sensors, so they know when buses are approaching. They can stay green for longer when a bus is approaching, or switch from red to green more quickly if a bus is waiting. "These lights should also allow cyclists to pass through without waiting," Stevenson said.

Across the country, highways authorities are responsible for nine out of every 10 miles of road - approximately 225,000 miles throughout the UK. They grit on average 40% of roads - a total of around 80,000 miles. In London, local councils and Transport for London (TfL) grit major roads. Gritter lorry on A9, south of Inverness.
