"And after people in the 'burbs and rural areas have helped to fund everything you love so dearly in the city yourself" ohhhhh I get it now. You are the type of person who hates city slickers for taking up so much money in the budget (even though there's much more people living in the urban...

Oh tell me more you say . Climate change is a wide subject but generally comes to that the climate is changing (mostly warmer but some areas colder) and much less predictable because of human intervention like industry, construction, agriculture and yes, transportation. Many people decades and...

You are comparing a person on the internet to a person who is writing on the award winning top newspaper in Canada. There is a much higher standard of rigour and research in journalism in print publications than some random person on an Internet forum. So yes, I expect much better in the paid...

This is a blanket statement then too to suggest that because I don't know his whole life story then therefore that person could know anything. For all we know, he can write a story on microbiology but because I don't know his whole life story, I must take his word on it that what he's saying is...

It's honestly really funny and kinda sad that someone has to block someone on a forum that is, comparedly to other topics, as dry and technical as transit infrastructure.

Good idea to connect the communities on either side of the highway but if we are going to the hassle of realignment, I'd rather we just bury it between Yonge and Bayview. Because if you just realign the highway, you'll have roughly the same area of development space in the first place, so...

Well, there's a lot less bees in the cemetery because of monoculture than if it was a naturalized park space. But I do find it funny that pointing out the much studied environmental consequences of cemeteries is apparently me having a "bee in my bonnet". Oh no, the environment, how dare I...

Your praise of the Transitway is great but the highway and the transitway can be split off into separate projects. I don't see the transitway as being wholly attached to the highway project. So if you like the transitway, just build that and without the highway.

This is a bad comparison because you are putting two choices of Ford helping developers and building a highway and of Del Duca helping developers and not building a highway. Seems like an easy choice. The key difference between the PC's and the Libs is that one wants to build a highway, and one...

Yes and in that 20 years, people decided to care about this thing called climate change. Things change. Just because it was a good idea 20 years ago, doesn't mean it is a good idea now.

This once again belies the false narrative that highways magically solve traffic problems on arterial roads. They don't. Overflowing is such a massive extrapolation to what is the reality of traffic on normal suburban roads. Unless Google Maps traffic shows deep red on all suburban arterials on...

Huh? That's totally a disingenuous comparison. An auto journalist doesn't know one bit of urbanism, they only know cars. An urbanist would know quite a bit about urbanism and the consequences to urbanism goof or bad that a highway creates. Just because you drive a car on a road doesn't mean you...

But just because it is there, does not mean it should still be there or that we cannot move it. Many cities have moved their cemeteries or else there would be cemetaries in the middle of Mahattan dotting every avenue. We literally have seized privately owned land before. We do it many times...

Ahhhh thank you for clearing that up. It's pretty confusing with all the separate documents and movement in plans. Again, apologies.

That is true about the screeching I did not think about that, thanks. Yeah, my map started as an exercise to see how Ford could save even more money, but I'm not really attached to it anymore. Apologies for thinking you were ab asurduming my cemetary thoughts. But yes, I think the cemetery is...
