Doesn't say how fast the express trip will be. I believe the current trip is about 25 minutes? That would make the express potential less than 20 minutes which is pretty amazing.
I did it for 8 years, most of those with a kid. It was easy with Enterprise weekend deal + car2go + zipcar. I don't know the current situation in the city but it was definitely doable. It was especially great for those months when we never needed a car and I could see my total auto expense being $0.
For those not paying attention to City Hall, if I understood correctly, our councillors just voted *against* prioritizing the Finch LRT extended westward.
Updated > My confusion - council voted against the amendment, not the extension...
I assume the Finch extension is depended on the airport finalizing how they are going to incorporate Line 5/6 into Pearson and they've been silent on their plans. In the meantime, it'd be nice if Line 6 was extended to Woodbine GO station.
I was going to say something similar. The decision where to go with Jane st long term may be best to postpone until at least a year after the Crosstown is open. I suspect a Skytrain/OL solution from Steeles to Eglinton would be the best bet as ridership from Eglinton to Bloor may drop...
I love all these improvements coming online right now. Although whether Toronto is becoming a transit city is debatable, it really feels like we are becoming a cycling city.
With all our additional bike infrastructure since the Jarvis cycle lanes were taken out I'd prefer that Jarvis now stays as is. We need some streets to be able to maintain high vehicle throughout and this will likely be the only north - south street to have it after our cycling infrastructure...
My first thought is that the motions to add traffic signals was originated before the cycle lanes were put in. Bloor is much calmer due to its narrowing and I'm skeptical (without looking into it) that addition lights would be needed.
