In the Humbertown neighbourhood, I am constantly seeing bungalows getting a new second floor, additions being put on the side or back or both of existing houses, moderately sized houses being...

Better than sitting in at the Etobicoke Community Council meeting to listen to deputations (both pro and con), who may have researched, formed an option, and presenting them, it seems. Why waste 5,...

Mayor (allegedly) Rob Ford was at the Etobicoke Community Council meeting, between campaigning in the parking lot while skipping the deputations but joining in the vote.

What about the Town of Caledon? Its part of Peel Region, but without public transit of its own. Shouldn't the LRT at least stop at the border with Caledon, to allow for any future north extension?

Not just kids, adults as well. Even with gap fillers. See this link.

That NYC curved station would have various gap widths, from the wide one shown to short. Toronto would only need short fillers, see this link. With ATC and screen doors, those fillers would line up...

New York City and Hong Kong has extenders that extend and retract. See wilkipedia.

If there is no one waiting or getting off at the Leslie stop, maybe the LRV train will not even stop there. Would passengers have to request a stop if they want off at Leslie? I don't think there...

Now if those fountains were on the same level as Rob's car in the underground parking (and right next to his car), he might have noticed them.

Apparently, Rob Ford does not know his way around the internet. At this link, from the Revitalizing Nathan Phillips Square website, there is this paragraph:



I looked at be source code for that...

Currently, Eglinton Avenue East, in the Leslie Street area, has several multiple lanes for straight traffic and turns, along with safety islands.

The current surface stop at Leslie Street is...

All of the non-400 series of highways within Toronto are under Toronto's jurisdiction. Highways 2, 5, 11, 11A, 27, 48, and 50 come to mind.

Subway platforms doors was one of the "gravy" projects "postponed".

With the elevators going out-of-service and not getting maintained, the so-called "accessible" stations are not so these days. Shows that the proposed surface LRT stops have an advantage over...

If Leslie will be a stop or station, does that mean Laird will be the last station for ATC, not Don Mills?

If they make Leslie completely segregated from motor traffic somehow, they could...

I noticed that on Realtor.ca they show a Walk Score® rating on some, if not all, individual listing on-line.

In the late 1960's, Bloor Street West between Jane Street and Runnymede Avenue was getting depressed because of the subway construction and the lure of suburban malls. Then the shop-owners got...

The wheelchair accessible and elevator signs at any station should not be static. They should turn off whenever the elevators are out of service. It is frustrating to get to the elevator and find...

Currently, the 63 Ossington, the 94 Wellesley, and the 161 Rogers Road buses use Ossington Station. If they ever do a rebuild, there is an option of NOT turning the 63 Ossington bus into the station,...

It should have been nice to see the Mayor mentioned in the foreign press. Should is the key word. Rob Ford is mentioned in Sun Gazette in Arlington, Virginia and in debates in Arlington, Virginia...

A 2 Bloor-Danforth extension would be mostly above ground, not underground, as the Fords want. They would prefer it to be all underground, which will add to the cost.

At least with surface stops, the LRT platforms can be removed, added, or moved. Sometimes with difficultly, but unlike the underground stations, a lot less expensively.

Designed by someone who never (repeat, never) rode a bicycle before.

And why are the painted lines going under or through the P poles? Looks like something out of a Roadrunner cartoon.

It looks like, John Tory, and I'm quoting Popeye here, "That's all I can stands, and I can't stands no more!"
