He won't win, and he knows it. If anything, he might hurt the Ford brand. Especially when provincial elections come around. And he'll split the right vote. But with anything, if he says something extreme and outrageous, it can get a lot of people's attention. Getting rid of streetcars, more...

Rage bait The Trump administration is more pro transit than the Liberal Mark Carney? 😂

When I think of all the developers that will benefits with the current alignment, a further reason why I don't see diyg changing it. I think the alignment is safe. But yes, you have a valid point.

Any renderings of the planned intersection? All this construction along various parts of St.Clair yet no ROW for the streetcar extension. It's somewhat negligence to ignore it. At least have a plan down.

The good thing about this, the chance of the province changing alignments and design appears to be slim. I was under this assumption with the upload that Doug would resort back to his option of replacing the Gardiner as is. With the Logan off ramps, etc. it appears that Doug is going ahead with...

Hoping to see work on the 3rd garage. Any updates with that?

I would take a frequent, but slower streetcar ride over and infrequent bus. If the streetcar comes right away, but operates slower, I would still get to my destination faster than waiting 30 min for a fast bus. I'm talking specifically west of Gunns loop with route 189. Every 20 mins, maybe? If...

I know this is off topic. But too bad the St Clair ROW couldn't be extended from Gunns loop to Scarlett Rd as part of a bigger Master Plan. Maybe even past Scarlett to Dundas, but that's dreaming.

New cars will still be designed for 6-car open gangway operations. I assume a similar set up as the BART trains. I'm sure there's a lot of details to work out before signing off on anything. As there should be. Why design something when not knowing the full ask. My wishkist, that will never...

Must be some reversed decision or community backlash? I remember some people talking as if the Pape bridge was close to being demolished. Either way good news.

Is there still plans to demolish the Pape pedestrian bridge? Seeing it still up is a hopeful. I actually like it.

I mean , the biggest road block to trolleys would be the actual facilities. I assume the overhead wires would be the same as what the streetcars use? Actually streetcars use panto, so no. But we do have the overhead department at TTC. I remember David Miller was studying to bring back...

I think the benefits to having double end cars is a worthwhile investment. You save on not having loops. And everything doesn't have to happen at once. Double end cars, and as time goes on make the adjustments at the end of the line to accommodating them. By the time 30 years come around there...

You sure ION will get the same cars as they have now. They don't make them anymore. Unless Alstom reactivates production for such a small order. Would it be worth it? Has ION sent out a RFP or some document stating this?
