I believe there are 14 stops between Yonge Street and Kennedy on Line 5 (sorry, no map with me right now to check). If 14 is far too many, what is just too many, and what is the number for it to be RT. Bare in mind that Line 2 has 12 stops between Yonge and Kennedy. Also, correct me if I'm...

Meanwhile at Danforth there's a permanent hole cut in the fence, that's VERY well used, to get from the arena and east-side of Main to the southern entrance. Fight for it some do. Another reason not to live in the suburbs with that kind of fear ... and crime apparently.

He must be into his 70s - and it looks like he's skipped the country from his socials. He certainly wouldn't need the work at this point in his career. Being a public-facing gadfly might give him the pleasure than taking up a different hobby. And there's still some ability to get some work with...

It might be more safer in Denmark. I saw enough people simply ignore the two phase signs in Toronto and walk the whole thing at once, even if it was red before they reached the other side. I'm sure a car fan or some best-ignored consutlan-written traffic manual would argue it's safer for...

Hell hath frozen over ... Well almost. I wonder how long before they see service. Has 4478 even run under it's own power, or do they just push it around Russell Yard every month or two. :) 4471's 96 days in service (is it? I count 111 days) of service is almost 40% longer than the 68 days (if...

Amazing. Meanwhile at Danforth there's a well-coordinated neighbourhood effort to add an entrance from the NW corner of the westbound platform, so as to be able make it easier for neighbours to access the station without having to walk a long way to get to the station. The comments are 100% in...

Interesting, but with an air of arrogance, and uses of words I've never seen in an engineering report - like "rumour". I see he's violated the Professional Engineers Act by not signing or sealing his submission. Or even mentioning his credentials. His LinkedIn says Civil Engineer. There's some...

In both cases - where the trump is the (red and green) paint? That would go a long way to making it very clear to pedestrians where they are standing, and at least which direction(s) to watch. I can't say I've watched here closely recently, but with all the talk of how the streetcar crawl...

I'm simply pointing out the origin of the discussion. Which is moot now because of the change in routing through ... St. Eustache (how the eff that will work I don't know). And as I pointed out, the reduced return (negative I'd think) on investment.

Why couldn't the widen it a second time?

It's not the greatest between Stratford and London - but is 121 miles via Kitchener very worse than 115 miles via Brantford? And what of the speed of the curves - neither the curves at Hamilton/Dundas nor at Brantford look as though they have the large radii of those along the Kitchener...

Of you eliminate south to east movements (which could easily enough by drivers at Lawrence), it's not that difficult to have the east to north lane cross the tracks, just WEST of the portal, and then. Yes you'd have to further widen the northside part of Eglinton and the bridge again. You could...

Perhaps you are unaware of this, but serious discussion here about bypassing Ottawa only started when VIA and the Feds published a figure for HFR showing exactly that - on what appears to be the Winchester Sub. While that might have made some sense to help the problem of HFR operations not...

With Toronto converting the (few) existing two-phase crossings to single-phase to improve safety and reduce pedestrian injuries, I don't see how they'd even consider adding any - especially when Finch is little if any wider than some existing crossings that were never two phase. Yes, you have...
