I strongly disagree. I travelled to Warsaw recently where the tram network is excellent, fast and on schedule with multiple lines overlapping and no bunching. Stops in the city centre are spaced 400-500 meters apart (vs 280m avg spacing on Spadina source), meanwhile suburban lines which resemble...

City: we need a highway that goes from two lanes to one lane. Metrolinx:

I really enjoyed that wooden section both on bike, on foot but also while running. It looks like complete afterthought just to cheaply satisfy an "accessibility" issue. Did accessibility lead to this garbage looking piece of asphalt too?

I would take a bus over the St Clair streetcar with its dismal average speed any day.

How does one prevent it? It's such a shame.

Great job MX, what an achievement.

Mid-rise development would fit the neighbourhood so much better.

What's good about the realignment? It makes the intersection look similar in nature to Symington and Sterling which is a complete mess currently.

I agree with evandyk that once the doors start closing people should not be able to open them. It happens so often on streetcars where it's easy for someone to run from the sidewalk to the streetcar since doors take forever to close. I don't see this being that big of an issue on line 6 though.

I understand that getting signal priority will speed this streetcar up but doesn't your example showcase that buses are faster than streetcars given the same signal priority (since buses get stopped at red lights too)? Shouldn't the streetcar still be faster?

Ever since the addition of the new station and slight schedule change, morning rush up trains have been getting more and more delayed. Today’s 8:28 train departed bloor towards union at 8:38.

I personally prefer a bus over a streetcar due to the speed. I can walk faster than streetcars downtown.

It's wild that even official MX photos showcase infrastructure that's covered by graffiti before it's even opened to the public

It was a Geele Coolray, small SUV.
