Monkey's paw curls. We'll next build a $6billion BRT that's slower than the bus it replaces

Huh. Map borrowed from Reddit

I remember these lines from MoveOntario2020 as released in 2007 🧓

In 2017 there was a proposal to extend Cooper St under the tracks to connect with Church St: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2017/te/bgrd/backgroundfile-108419.pdf I don't see it on the list of passed by-laws: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/bylaws/lawlists.htm Did the Cooper Street...

I think opening only the surface section would overwhelm feeder bus capacity at Don Mills/Eglinton, where incidentally Metrolinx has decided to demolish the new bus terminal without opening it, so I don't think that's a good idea.

Nothing's gone wrong with the Ontario Line yet -- setting aside demolition of Ontario Place, shuttering of the Ontario Science Centre, clearcutting of Osgoode Hall, bad transfer design at Osgoode, incompatible vehicle technology, an entirely unnecessary surface alignment in Riverdale, and...

Moscow's language distinguishes between navy blue and sky blue with two equally common words, in a way that our language doesn't. No excuse for Moscow duplicating the greens, though. 😆

St. Catharines, Niagara on the Lake, and the wine country in between are extremely flat, which makes for a reasonable bike ride from Port Weller for plodding types. The side roads are also nice because they are both flat and free of car traffic if it's specifically the wineries that you are...

Could someone please (re)share the diagram of the new alignment requiring demolition of Tzatziki at Pape/Aldwych?

We should be demolishing the Allen and Black Creek Drive, not extending them. They serve no purpose and there's no room downstream for more cars.

The only non-Don Valley option I can think of would have been the Victoria Park alignment option in the Relief Line Long alignment study. It was an unlikely option

I think the realignment had more to do with the choice of yard location than local complaints. The residents of Thorncliffe Park have even less sway with Metrolinx than the richer residents of Riverdale whose requests have been entirely ignored. Also, I think that crossing the Don Valley on top...

As someone who uses the HOV on the 404, 400, and QEW for roadtrips out of town, I utterly dread the loosening of already too loose and unenforced HOV rules. The HOV is great because it creates two passing lanes when you have 2+ people in the car. If someone is camping in the passing lane, you...

YNSE is gated on the Ontario Line and Bloor Yonge Station Expansion, both of which are happening, so the prerequisites for it are being slowly resolved

The Martin government contributed 33% to fund the Yonge-University-Spadina Subway Extension to Vaughan Metropolitan Centre
