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.

Caltrans District 9 & 10 maintenance crews made great progress this year with our snow removal operations and road repairs to safely re-open the highway to the traveling public, earlier than normal.

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.

Residents have reported that as many as 200 heavy-duty trucks a day have been bringing fill to an aggregate pit on Harmony Road N. since November, churning up mud to the point that conditions on the country road have become hazardous.

A preliminary estimate of the total cost to install traffic calming measures on local and collector roadways within school zones is approximately $52 million. Assuming a moderate increase in the annual delivery capacity, it would take approximately 13 years to install traffic calming measures on all eligible roadways within school zones in Toronto.

Gridlock is costing our economy billions of dollars every year and robbing Ontario drivers of valuable time and quality of life. He added the changes would help keep drivers moving across the province.

Drivers along Route 14 in Chemung County could see fresh pavement and traffic upgrades starting this fall.

The washout began around 4 pm Monday, with a 75- to 100-foot section of the eastern lane of Highway 116 collapsing and taking trees and a piece of guardrail with it, just west of Monte Rio about five miles past Guerneville if you were heading to the coast. As the Press Democrat reports, the earth beneath the roadway was "likely loosened by the surging waterway and runoff from the recent storms,"

The temperature at the Toronto airport reached a high of 17.6 C on Saturday, breaking an old record for March 7 of 17.2 C that was set in 1860.

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.

A study is underway that brings the city one step closer to implementing a seven-kilometre multi-use trail under the Gardiner Expressway. The study, which launched in December, is expected to be completed before the end of the year and will inform the planning of the trail, according to Ilana Altman, CEO of The Bentway, a non-profit that works to improve urban public spaces and is working with the city on the project.

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 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.

The new Ontario Line will include protective barriers at all stations to separate platforms from the tracks, something the Toronto Transit Commission has been considering adding to its subway system for years. "Platform edge doors" will be a part of all 15 stations on the 15.6-kilometre downtown subway line, slated to open in 2031, city staff said at a budget meeting Wednesday. The doors are transparent barriers that open to allow riders inside when trains roll in, but otherwise keep people, animals and debris off the tracks.

Toronto is under a yellow snowfall warning with 10 centimetres of snow expected to affect the morning and evening commute on Wednesday. An Alberta clipper, a low pressure system, is forecast to bring the snow starting Wednesday morning and easing in the afternoon, Environment Canada said in the warning issued late Tuesday afternoon. Visibility could be poor at times if the snow is heavy or blowing, the agency says.
