I’m by Birchmount Station. I checked both ways. It’s actually slower for me to take Line 5. I’m better off taking the GO Train/UPX. If Line 5 gets quicker, It’ll actually be viable for me to use that over the GO Train.

Note to self: Do not get involved with Metrolinx for anything unless you want to add 5 years to your project timeline.

Honestly, my only gripe today was that the stations were COLD. The platform level and the concourses. Like am I unreasonable for expecting enclosed underground transit stations to be heated/temperature controlled? A big advantage of subways and underground transit is that it’s warm and...

Yes, this is what I mean. Not a blanket ban for every intersection in the city, but a systematic approach that prioritizes safety (especially for dangerous intersections) and efficiency for all modes. It may also require a rethinking of signals/turning movements in the city and an adoption for...

Nope, it’s just that “no right-on-reds” is politically unpopular and generally not pushed hard by transportation staff unless paired with bike left-turn boxes (which is a requirement for them.) There really needs to be a bigger movement for them in general.

I think the biggest takeaway that I'm seeing from this discussion is that it won't be a simple fix to speed up the LRT, but will require a significant mindset shift and updates to operating procedures that has been ingrained in the City and TTC for decades. This has been something that transit...

Lemme remind everyone about a motion moved and passed by the mayor to look into the implementation of signal priority on Eglinton and report back to council in October. ....They did not report back in October 2025's meeting 🤔 I'd recommend everyone call the mayor's office. If this is Finch...

It will go all the way to Power and to Parliament to connect the existing cycle tracks. See: Construction Notice

Am I the only one who thinks four elevators is overkill?

My take: The city should redirect their resources (for the time being) to upgrading their old legacy bike lanes to cycle tracks and building multi-use trails and cycle tracks in the wide boulevards of suburban roads in the meantime to create that suburban cycling network that the city...

KW's ION has a section with several traffic lights in succession near the Grand River Hospital and riding the LRT is never an issue because it breezes through all the lights (Transit Signal Priority). Even when riding the LRT outside of this specific section, it rarely stops for traffic lights...

The city of toronto finally learned about a thing called Speed Cushions (Speed bumps with divots for higher clearance and wider vehicles to pass through unimpeded) so they're going to be going with that whenever there's a bus route so that they can implement traffic calming on roads with bus...

It would be smart if transportation services took the budget allocated for quick-build projects unable to move forward due to Bill 212 for at least the next few years and instead just focused on building nice cycle tracks like these and beautified existing ones instead.

So no fare zones?

Ahh that’s interesting. From what I can tell, most councillors just go straight to council and submit member motions to axe planned sidewalks while all the councillors are distracted and blindly vote yes. It seems Burnside took the official method through IEC first but it gave some time for the...
