"CAR BREAK-INS Please be advised that we have had a couple of car break-ins reported along Burnhamthorpe Road. These break-ins ocurred during the early hours of December 14, 2017. Please ensure that your cars are locked and that any valuables are hidden from plain view. ... In the event that you observe anything suspicious, please report it to the Toronto Police Service."

Yesterday Mayor John Tory asked the City of Toronto Executive Committee to support a motion directing staff to study tunnelling and/or grade-separations for th...e Eglinton West LRT. The motion passed with unanimous consent. I welcomed the Mayor's decision yesterday because I believe that an at-grade LRT down the middle of Eglinton Avenue would be unacceptable and I have been fighting on behalf of our community to tunnel the LRT, along with our local city councillors Stephen Holyday and John F. Campbell. Tunnelling the LRT would be better for transit riders, better for drivers, better for taxpayers, and better for our community in Etobicoke. Yesterday's announcement would not have happened without our advocacy and I would like to thank Mayor Tory for considering our input and for taking this important step.
