Until six months after the reno is complete, several of the fins will be removed for water leak remediation in random locations around the station and it'll look that way for at least two-three years until they get replaced and different fins get taken out leaving a gap-tooth ceiling. That's the...
Jack Layton was a big proponent of building the satellite downtowns and spreading out the density away from downtown Toronto. He opposed the Relief Line on the basis that it would encourage further density downtown.
The Network 2011 plan from 1985 had the Sheppard subway as the first priority and being built by 1993, which is consistent with syn's first point above. We only got half of it nine years later thanks to the usual dithering and Mike Harris. Metro's plan was to build out satellite downtowns at...

There will be a lot of moisture and condensation on the car when we get into fall when the nights are chilly and the days are warm, that's when getting some cover on it will really help. The condensation gets into cracks in the paint and body filler and then later that trapped moisture expands...
And all this happened right on the heels of GO taking delivery of about 200 new coaches. Are they even using 200 coaches to run all the consists that are needed right now?
Those rails were still in the roadway on the Queensway when it was taken up for road rebuilding in the not so distant past.

The Bay concourse will definitely go back to being the default for most travelers, especially the occasional ones who come into Union from Bay or Front St. or from the subway because it's a straight route in. Add in Scotiabank Arena crowds and the York concourse should thin out quite a bit in...
2007 is farther back than you think. The LRT idea might have been suitable for when it was proposed in the mid-2000s, but it's 13 years ago now that Transit City was announced. A higher-order grid of transit is still needed to keep up with the increasing ridership. Convoys of express buses is...
The Sheppard Subway as originally proposed (all the way to Scarborough Town Centre) was part of that Metro scheme to connect North York and Scarborough city centres by rapid transit and spread out commercial development away from the downtown. Jack Layton was one of the more ardent opponents of...
So four have come back, of which one is in service, and no more have left yet. At this rate, it'll take about 16 years to finish this work. 4402 seems to be tracking at Bedford & Lowther, has it gone to Hillcrest? It's been languishing at Leslie for the past 9 months or so.
And just how are these battery buses going to be recharged if you just park them all over the place? They still need to be cleaned... have you seen how dirty buses are inside that have been out all day? Even if you just had an overnight parking garage, all the buses would need to be fueled...
