*I'm a little late on this but the crosstown already won't be compatible with the Eglinton East LRT if built because of troubles building on top of the new subway tunnel. There's no reason they can't build the Eglinton East Line to the same specs as Finch West so they can share rolling stock or...

Space by the looks of it

since they ripped out the rails the chance of this happeneing (north of brampton at least) is now lowwww. Rapid service all the way to mayfield in brampton however is totally doable. Put this together a while ago but here's my vision for what improved Milton and Richmond Hill Lines could look...

There's already a planned redevelopment https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/malvern-town-centre-redevelopment.48850 The new development could certainly have more sway

I think the Missing Link's best shot at getting built is if the 407 line gets built as heavy rail instead of BRT. For that section of track, there could be parallel freight tracks to get freight trains off the midtown and Milton corridor. I don't see it getting built as freight only because the...

I asked for an update on the TBM tracker hopefully they can provide us with live updates soon

definitely wasn't clear my bad I meant time-wise. I tried to figure out how long they were spending on each floor but had some struggles : )

The only useful LRT conversion of the transitway I can see happening is if it's converted as an extension of the Eglinton line. If it exists as a stub line from Renforth that linear transfer wouldn't be the worst but would definitely hurt ridership. Ideally, it could have a wye letting half of...

how close are these things to topping out?

The one time i visited i actually saw lots of toddlers having a blast with the animal statues! Kids also seemed to be having fun touching the water or watching dogs in the park. Not as oriented towards kids as some spaces in Harbourfront, but I think they packed a little something for everyone...

Toronto not having many transit alternatives to the Gardiner made me laugh. Ignore the crude drawing but I'd say the lakeshore line is a pretty good alternative for the Gardiner.. Tones of parallel streetcar lines too for last-mile journeys. Bus lanes can also be added to the new Blvd so GO...

Montreal demolished the bonaventure expressway through downtown and built a park in its place. Seoul has done the same, renaturalizing the creek the highway was built on. San Francisco, and Portland have done the same. These may not be direct comparisons but they had the ambition we are lacking...

How is it that American cities that have little to no public transit can demolish their freeways to no traffic disaster, or Vancouver survive without them but toronto can’t? I say tear it all down. If you wanna keep the newly built part open it as a park. The rest turn it into a boulevard with...

Ok but imagine the station is called graffiti alley and the architecture is either graffiti-esque or there's like graffiti patterns everywhere

Good thing Ford/Stan Cho already promised fare integration across the GTA by the end of the year. These stations should be designed with this in mind like the new Ontario line renders that show fare gates for Lakeshore West at Exhibition. The interchange stations should have fare gates too...
