Last replay on this. But just wanted to share what can be done when towns are built for people not just cars. I would recommend this video on the change that can be accomplished with some vision. Video by Road Guy Rob

So we should get ride of sidewalks too, because it's a was of energy. Better to just focus on driving right, the most expensive mode of transportation. I like that. Rual communities should have no options to move around. Also why spend millions connecting roads to communities either, waste of...

So just like the sidewalk in the picture the snow can be removed. And it's not about cyclists utopian. It's about safe options for mobility. Just how sidewalks are built standard so people can walk, same should be for safe bike lanes. People will drive of course, but provide oppertunties for...

Small and easy to get around. Sounds perfect for biking, but new bike lanes are illegal in ontario, so drive baby drive.

looking at the map, just shows how much farmland and wetlands and creeks will be demolished. Once you put the land use filter on, it gets worse. everything south of the highway will be single family homes and warehouses. Like if the area around the highway was protected and the urban boundary...

See think maybe Mccowan Rd with a small indoor path bridgeto the rail line. You have line 2 and line 4 terminate there plus have room for a park and ride. Usually cities have a station on the outskirts for suburban catchment.

yes but VIA consistently misses their assigned blocks and then it cascades into delays over an hour. The freight companies have these blocks assigned to VIA, VIA just fails to travel through them at the assigned time. For example travelled Toronto to London last year. The train departed 10 mins...

I can confirm it's not continuous welded rail (Ottawa to Brockville), as i rode the train and saw the tracks (dual tracked areas). The ride quality was poor and the train broke down in Brockville as it was a piece of trash. Train 47 Ottawa to Toronto (Oct 27 1220 hrs departure train). Now the...

Yes it was just so shocking. I visited Poland last month. Prior to that I was there 10 years ago. The rail investment was night and day. All intercity trains had been upgraded to modern stock. The railways have been rebuild with welded rail and concrete ties. The trains ran a consistent 160km/h...

I took via for the first time in a while. Omg straight trash, the trains are falling apart, the seats I booked were much different from the seat layout on the selection map. This was on ottawa to Toronto corridor. Just needed to express how bad the trains are. Oh and delayed of course. Anyone...

10 km/h passing all switches including straight movements.

Drove down Finch today, all the switches have 10 km/h Turnout signs. They look like posters the TTC installed themselves. So looks like all the streetcar slow zones will be applied to Finch.

I agree, but I seems that for east Harbour the canopy can be added after the fact as the structural supports are placed outside the main station structure.

see i completely agree. I think the abysmal traffic signal implementation in toronto is the number one reason for congestion. Most of them are programmed to stop traffic and not for logical traffic flow. This flow includes cyclists and transit. For example the lead pedestrian signals where...
