Jason Paris will be seen shaking Doug Ford's hand. :eek:

Some of us DO find the Wellington routing quite advantageous, I'll have you know.

I can confirm the press event at Exhibition Station will now be Monday at 12:00 (Noon).

I’m hopeful this elevated section of the Line 3 — along with Line 5 between Mount Dennis and Scarlett — triggers a paradigm shift around elevated rail in this city. It is a globally proven way to expand higher-order transit far faster and at far lower cost than tunnelling everything. In many...

I never suggested a Line 5 extension, to be clear.

But then what would happen with the 503's historic Wellington route?

In the past week, I’ve had two separate incidents of people smoking on the TTC — once on Line 2 on Sunday and again yesterday on the 506. In the first case, enough riders spoke up that the person eventually put it out. In the second, the operator came to the back and asked the individual to...

If Line 7 is grade-separated—as it likely should be—it would have two major implications. First, the higher cost would make the project less likely to be built. Second, if Line 7 does proceed with full grade separation, it would strengthen the case for eventually rebuilding the...

I never considered this prior, but Shops at Don Mills will (eventually) be yet another mall on the TTC subway grid.

I personally wish we used the European numbering standard: 0 for ground level, -1 and below for underground levels, and 1 and above for upper floors. That said, it does mean the term “first floor” refers to what we currently think of as the second floor. These Mx elevators can be quite...

Thinking out loud about the future of the Science Centre building: I wonder how the Université de l'Ontario français (UOF) is performing at its Queens Quay East campus. Could the Science Centre potentially become its future home? There might even be an opportunity to pair it with Collège Boréal...

I said this in another thread too, but it looks like this coming Friday is now the day.

Mx has let me know to possibly be ready for Friday now.

The 1980 Winter Olympics, held in a comparable part of the continent, featured a downhill with an 847-metre vertical drop — on the lower end by today’s standards, but still comfortably within the traditional Olympic range. It does raise the question of whether Le Massif de Charlevoix could...

The 2-carriage GO train made me chuckle.
