At one point were the louvres on the sides of the train platform atrium glass that let light through? It looks like an industrial vent now.

In addition to the WELRT and the fact it is a desirable location with the new river park, harbour views, near beaches and the Distillery, it is also only about 1km to the East Harbour GO, Ontario Line station, and Broadview car extension. Of places I could imagine living in the core in the...

Where you see places where the corridor all of a sudden looks thin... those empty spots are where the Ontario line stations are going (i.e. the hole north of the bridges build at East Harbour, the hole at Queen, and the hole at Gerrard). The bridges that are done over where the extended...

https://greenbelt.ca The green belt isn't just the urban boundary, it is a bunch of naturally sensitive areas like the escarpment and the moraine. There is some protected countryside and if any of the greenbelt is removed from the area and shifted further out I would expect it would be the...

Look, new electric ferries and a naming competition. Pay no attention to the lack of progress on the "Harbour Landing" project and the fact that they are investing money on infrastructure that would be a regrettable spend if they push the docks back further into the harbour to allow more...

Yes, how is a wheel that is supposed to be angled towards the center of the rail making contact with that much of the width of the rail when the rail is new?? It also looks like sand and/or salt just sits on the rail. I'm curious where that stray bolt came from on the Eglinton LRT :oops:

An electrification plan that targets 2036, 10 years away, is not really a plan at all. The planning horizon for some of the most complex things is 7-8 years including hosting an Olympics with new venues and transit line... beyond that it is not a plan at all, it is a postponement of a plan...

Looking at the Flexity Freedom vs the Czhitadis there is a huge difference in perceived spaciousness. The gangway in the Freedom feels more like the gangway in the subway.

I'm against expanding the airport and bringing in jets... but in the above reasons 1 to 3 makes sense, 4 and 5 are starting to stretch reason. Fuel trucks will continue to go to the airport, fuel trucks will continue to go to the Esso at Lakeshore and Bathurst. Planes will still overfly the...

While the King Liberty station is postponed, it isn't cancelled. I would suspect they will ensure the corridor is set so that when the station does get built the corridor is ready with the space required for track shifts and the ultimate layout. With the future Barrie line schedules another...

Expanding the Toronto Island Airport runway to have jets is nuts. The airport barely fits the Q400s that are there now... where are all these jets going to park? They are going to expand the island airport, limit development in the port lands, reduce the space for boats, and have jets flying...

Safety message from Metrolinx: Stop at stoplights!

It was already known that the issue on Finch wasn't related to signal priority because as was documented the buses that ran on Finch previously without transit priority was way faster. On Eglinton the transit priority will make a difference because the vehicles themselves were running on the...

Yes, Grimsby has figured out that old downtowns are best served by cars, street parking, and parking lots. No need to put a station and housing nearby.

No, you would need to go the high speed bus option for the Waterfront.
