As a kid - I took Line 2 to school. Got on west of Old Mill. I loved when the subway travelled over the Humber at Old Mill. I was thinking that the view would be great at Eglinton Flats on Line 5. Gotta love these councillors. Solving all these *real* problems. It's not for no reason that the...

It's striking and exciting to look at this and see the change in standards, scale, imagination from the original Queen station box to the new Ontario line. Seventy years has brought a lot of change. Three thoughts: 1. You have to walk half a train length back from the Line 1 train to get to...

I think at this stage, we are at 10% design. Design a flat station length section in if the budget for the station isn’t there. Future-proof a several billion dollar investment.

It's not like we can't infill a station. North York Centre.

Glass half full. Glass half empty. This is the half empty view. It's been 22 yrs since Jan 1, 2000 and we got 6 stops on Line 1 (TYSSE) and Line 4. Not a great 20 yrs. And in 20 before that Downsview, Kipling, Kennedy and the Scarborough LRT. Even less. This (past) decade brings two...

Never thought I would see streetcars back on Adelaide...*Shakes head*

This would be a nice problem for the TTC and other transit agencies after 26 months of pandemic curtailed demand.

We're on post #20,000 and some odd. And seven years of construction. We should hit 60,000 in this discussion by the opening....

You know there are two bridges, no?

I’m a neighbour. I think I’ll be fine with it.

A stupid thing.

Have you filled your car up this week?

Perfect reason to replace them with TTC livery. This is one of the dumbest most vainglorious exercises in corporate vanity I have ever seen and to top it off it’s between two government agencies with our tax dollars. Stupid. In Toronto, “T” is for TTC shortcomings and all. Metrolinx projects...

I effing hate those landings. It’s stomach turning. And for those who don’t fly a lot it can happen with the biggest planes like a 777. They are as easily tossed about in strong crosswinds.

Am I wrong in thinking that when you leave loose gravel and rubbish on a street that other vehicles passing over they tend to grind up the asphalt more aggressively? I wish the city cleaned up gravel, cement and other rubbish that I see laying about. I always feel the street degrades more...
