A reminder what they may look like: I have my doubts. I’ve seen enough projects in Durham Region where the final build looks nothing like the renderings... granted, that’s usually at the municipal level. The Pickering waterfront boardwalk is a good example, especially with the Ontario code...

I note NES taking more shots at Doug Ford...Could this be the first of many spats between the two to come? https://bsky.app/profile/beynate.bsky.social/post/3mcv243vzek22

Great to hear the good service, however... ...I’d take a slightly different approach: I’d suggest sending the compliment along with your concerns to the TTC and/or the relevant council or board members. You shouldn’t expect immediate change, but it’s still important that someone hears it...

Must look worse when not in a rainstorm without the nice reflections of the trees?

Ah wasn't aware one could do that. Thanks.

Yes

Some delay logs made their way to Steve Munroe, up on his site. Makes the point on how these should have been caught earlier on, perhaps indicating gaps in testing or operator training. Unsure how this compares to other line openings or how 'typical' this is of an opening week. It would be...

Unsuprisingly this sudden detour has stirred some feathers out East. Some apparently were using the bridge to get to/from work: Some at the Abbeywood retirement home were commuting locally from Port union for example. Local politicians were set to have a meeting this past week and are asking for...

I happened to come across the city's CAOs latest update... Construction is almost complete...And well under budget (presently at 71 percent of the $52MM). We're 3 months behind with occupancy scheduled for next month, and landscaping delayed til spring to minimize damage.

The line 6/5 doesn't appear in its final steady state. I think it would be premature to really make a call. There is pressure right now to fix line 6 to meet (or at least improve) the original goals communicated to the public... And we are seeing some motions put forward to change practices...

I tried looking up what the DSBRT would do to this intersection to see what was planned... Then looked back at the hilarity at the top of this page (re: LRT). Unfortunately, Metrolinx has killed (as is tradition to rewrite history) the https://www.dsbrtmap.ca/ website to see the detailed...

I appreciate Clr Saxe asking this...but wished it went further: Didn’t Metrolinx and Mosaic already stress-test the vehicles and approve them at specific maximum speeds? Shouldn’t that be the benchmark for how fast the trams are operated? I understand that running trains faster or slower...

I posted the above in Line 5 & 6 threads that speak of improving performance/frequency/speed... Another motion by Jamal was also introduced to look at removing parking and left turns and distance between streetcar stops:
