Toronto Highways

There are some nuts who want to destroy every highway in Toronto; well, not every one, just the municipal ones.

Here's a map

Green are Provincial highways.
Red are Municipal highways.
Purple was proposed highways that never ended up getting built.


Since this is my personal blog; I'll just make you look at another map right now. I'm a firm believer that you guys are smart enough to draw your own conclusions.

And now I'll tell you the conclusions you should have drawn:

First, stopping the Spadina Expressway was really really stupid. Even in car friendly europe (and I picked cities that had fewer highways, there are cities with far more I did not show)

Second, destroying every municipal expressway in Toronto would not make us like Europe, it would make us closer to a third world country.

And lastly, the evidence is clear, taking down the "elevated portion" of the Gardiner, is actually in line with how cities are laid out in Europe and around the world.


I generally have been opposed to the removal of that portion of the Gardiner, but, the evidence does not back that up. As such, I feel forced to change my mind on the issue, and no longer oppose this.

Fuck

Just a reminder; this is my totally random personal blog. Don't come here expecting any sort of level of professionalism.

Thank you John Shramko

goooooooood morning

alarm went off at 5:05. everything on track

1000 minutes

1000 minutes.
That's 16 hours and 40 minutes.

I know they recommend 8 hours of sleep, but 7 hours and 20 minutes aint so bad.

The latest sunset in Toronto is in June at 9:03pm.
The earliest sunrise in Toronto is also in June at 5:35am




I am thinking of trying a new "life plan".

I need to actually get my life in order as opposed to talking about it.

Given my affinity for numbers, partly due to my Aspergers/Autism, I figure I will use that to my advantage.

Tonight will be the last night I spend awake.

From now on I am setting my alarm clock for 5:05am and not changing it.

I will also be setting 9:45pm as my "bed time"; not so much that I need to go to sleep by then, but that I can't go to sleep earlier.

This will give me 1000 minutes a day.
100 chunks of 10 minutes each, on the 5's

It will be an easy way for me to keep track of what I am doing and not doing and where I can make improvements.

Maybe one day, in a few years, this will be the "big thing" and I'll be famous. For now I'd settle on a stable sleeping pattern.

So I'm on anti-biotics.
