    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I think Richview makes a lot of sense, you’re right about the size ofthe area but most people will associate the area to the high school. I grew up around Renforth and Eglinton in the early 70s and was a Boy Scout with “Richview” on our scarfs, even back then people would assume we were from...

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    I always wondered if they are returned to manufacturer for refurbishing and reuse or they basically a disposable device? Wouldn’t it save ML money to use them on the Ontario Line or the Yonge Extension?

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Warning - Old man rant ahead…. Just prioritize the signals and increase speed between stops.

Self importance and entitlement has become an...

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    This seems to always be the argument… However, from a quick Googlewalk along King between Spadina and University it appears that loading and parking is off the side streets, (I may missed something because the camera drives beside a streetcar for a block.) For the possibility that there is one...

    Gondolas as Urban Transit

    I proposed this as the solution to move people from Exhibition Station to Ontario Place, will allow for people to get to Ontario Place without walking through or around the Ex.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    Let's be honest, David Miller hasn't lived in Toronto in 13 years, he lived in BC and NYC and he is not poor, he is a graduate of Harvard / UofT. Toronto in 2023 is a lot different than Toronto of 2010. I suspect anything from David Miller is politically driven.

    I believe I saw in Toronto Life or on BlogTO that David Miller lived just north of high park on Gothic Ave, John Tory was at Bloor and Avenue Rd area.

    i think most people living in Toronto at the time understood the 5 year pain of having their main street torn up was for everyone’s benefit.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Thanks. I keep forgetting how long ago this was taken down… was my favourite ride as well, would be cool to see it go from the station to Ontario Place entrance.

    If only Rob was as clean as our past Premiers (lol) they all do shady stuff if you look into it.
