My commute home used to involve connecting to a TTC route that ran every 20 minutes in the evening and I would cut it that close. The subway is very reliable.

Agree 100%. We talk about fact-based decision making, but here we are even though we know that the traffic generated at Leslie and Eglinton is minuscule and that with the large amount of employment...

I went with Ataratiri. It's actually quite easy to pronounce (easier than Wonscotonach!) and rolls off the tongue once you're used to it.

It's unique and local and, as the poll describes, carries...

Steve Munro has often said that transit planning is "more than just drawing lines on a map". And yet, the more we learn the clearer it is that that was exactly what Transit City was.

Transit City...

You can't "just" set green lights. There is a defined amount of time that needs to be dedicated to each stage in the traffic light cycle. For example, if an LRV on Eglinton is approaching Victoria...

That is a huge "if". There's good reason to believe that guaranteed green lights when the LRT is operating in the median is impossible.

I agree. The volume through here is so high that temporary solutions woodn't last for long.

That photo shows the outside of the south end of the trainshed. Copper is visible.

It's more obvious from Bay Street (the train shed doesn't extend to Yonge), but it's definitely there in that...

The discussion is about the cement stairs between GO Concourse and TTC concourse levels. Not the metal stairs between GO Councourse and street levels.

The stairs are temporary. The new lower level (shopping concourse) at Union will be at the same level as the subway concourse.

The list of projects that the new taxes are to fund has already been announced. List here. The time when those are complete and we're considering what else to build with that steady stream of...

How much of that is walk-in, and how much of that is bus transfers? There would be a new station at Lawrence East and McCowan, which would directly serve Scarborough General Hospital.

I know that. That's why in my posts in this thread I've been suggesting that they should study the alternative of building the subway only to STC rather than to Sheppard, which would reduce the cost...

Front Street has been closed to through traffic for a few weeks. (It's currently a cul-de-sac in front of the Royal York due to the Northwest PATH construction.) And let me say, traffic is not...

Thousands of cars cross unprotected railway crossings every day without incident. I don't think that making cars go through a slalom would help things at all, so why should bikes (which tend to be...

Never mind that you keep dodging my points (I'm still waiting to see where I "kept saying that SELRT was rapid transit"), at least I now see your point. The promise for transit in Scarborough is for...

Should it work that way, though? If another project elsewhere would carry more passengers and do more to reduce congestion wouldn't it make more sense to find that rather than the Oprah Winfrey...

Yes, that's the point. We need to look at the costs and benefits of the subway extension without the service to Sheppard vs the LRT which does go to Sheppard.

We know that the TTC's analysis says...

"Common sense" is what makes Rob Ford say "we can pay for transit by cutting the waste".

Real transit planning involves looking at budgets and travel patterns (which often aren't intuitive). If...

Any surprise that the list of projects is, essentially:
- GO improvements, plus...
- Hamilton's #1 project (Hamilton LRT)
- Halton's #1 project (Dundas BRT)
- Mississauga's #1 Project (Hurontario...

And you criticise me for weak comebacks? "It makes no sense". OK then.

An idea of how many students attend the Centennial College Progress Campus would be a good addition to this discussion.

(And the numbers for the co-located UTSC+Centennial College Morningside...

I've long thought it would be good to build a busway along the south side of the 401 between Centenntial College and Neilson. It would be pretty short and the land is vacant, but it would allow...

Seeing that the demand is highest on Sheppard between Don Mills and McCowan, I think it could well be more efficient. It would also allow a trip from Scarborough Centre to North York Centre to only...

What on earth are you on about? You clearly have me confused with someone else.



So will I? Hence why I suggested that they study the alternatives. Metrolinx has not studied these...
