I think you guys might be missing the context plan. It seems like the city's plan is to have the wooden hydro pole act as a bollard! It's a cost effective way to appease those in the city who want fiscal responsibility, and those who want a bollard. It's really such great compromise plan. (FYI...

I havent even seen enforcement for motorists who drive in streetcar ROWs. Literally last week there was a driver who was driving in the ROW on Spadina at 2am. The driver pulled up at a red light southbound on Spadina at Richmond, where conveniently a police cruiser was right next to him. So...

More extensive stations for high-floor LRTs? I beg to differ, the U.S (the country which loves to do everything big and grand) has numerous examples of lines that implement stations without obscene step ups and ramps from street level. Here's one example with the Metro E Line in Los Angeles...

Update on Le Meridian: Scheduled opening is July 2026.

It's probably for the best. If there was ever a streetcar that ran from Kipling to St.Clair, it would take one half the day just to get from one end to the other with the TTC's streetcar operating practices.

Serious question, why is the city doing this? Do they not comprehend what usesable/useful park space is? Anyone with common sense can see that this is idiotic to pursue as park space, so if they themselves cant see that then that's seriously problematic.

What kind of lunacy is this. It's clear that this Citadis has a defective design, but yet Alstom doesnt want to address it. Good thing we have other clown organizations like Metrolinx who continue to line their pockets, which unfortunately doesnt incentivize them to actually fix the problem.

Honestly I thought it was too good to be true, wow miracles do exist in this city!

At this point i'm curious, what's the threshold for firing Mosaic as the maintenance provider? That's if the lost cause management fools at Metrolinx even provided for a clause for that in the contract.

So Pinnacle decided to spend all this money on a premiere design, only to ruin the rooftop which the whole city will see, while plastering their name all over their development? Honestly, are they ok?

Simply put, Wilson Yard (where the main heavy maintenance is done to the TR) has been retrofitted to handle the TRs maintenance requirements. Greenwood Yard (where heavy maintenance is done for T1s) has not been retrofitted to handle TR maintenance requirement. If the TTC's new train order went...

I mean, dont you know they have to do some extremely innovative Quantum Computing and pioneer new concepts for every construction project they undertake? Completely makes sense to me why construction of stations like this can take upwards of a decade, they're bringing us things which the world...

I'm suspecting they are using the subway extension as their rationale for the conversion (even though they may not be spelling it out as such). I'm not against it on this particular site, but the thing is if you allow for conversion here than you open the pandora's box and that will just...

I think most of us here would be in full agreement with that. Unfortunately based off of what we're seeing so far, as well as Oxford's other tasteless designs, they dont have any good taste in building aesthetics and design. And I think it's only a matter of time before the rest of this 2180...

That's a very big claim that they're making, a smooth ride? Lol yeah right. knowing the TTC and Metrolinx, we know what we're going to be in for. If we were America, their would be lawsuits all over this claim within the first year of opening.
