I think all but the most stauch cyclists will admit the goal of the lanes would be for the most part to reduce car dependency for short trips. But even that comes with a lot of issues? People want backyards, people want to not share walls, and looking at my condo mail room, or the TTC you notice...

I don't think that will ever fly. I'm not a fan of Fords bike lane law but do you see the province allowing that in this environment? Even in the past there wasn't enough political will.

Anyone see more fluid on the tracks this morning?

I interpereted your point as drivers will complain about the money spent on transit projects. The vast majority of people are happy or at least neutral about the money we're spending on the new lines. Do you not see all the people complaing about the TTC service? I think some complaints from...

The TTC is spending a lot to pilot Wi-Fi on bus routes, it seems counter intuitive to let rogers renege on the 20 year contract

My tone was not "be happy for what you're getting" I was trying to counter your claim of " if money goes to improving transit (speed, reliability and affordability), the majority of the complaints will be from entitled car owners" The only people I see complaining about the expansion are...

Again, I have friends in small companies their managers/owners couldn't care less what Chow or the Landlords want. They don't even have a full floor in their buildings. They still went back into work since they saw productivity went down. This doesn't apply to every company but it seems silly to...

I entirely agree! Imagine the years of added capacity in the subway or the highways we'd get? But I'm not 100 convinced about the commercial real estate angle seeing that small companies still are asking people to come in.

Maybe in 20 years time? Anyone suggesting it would lose the 905 vote.

I did mention on line 3, this was at midland station. I assumed all passenger visible tracks would have similar usage.

We have the biggest transit expansion in our history, for the first time we have an effective transit co-fare, and tens of billions being spent on transit projects. Is there anyone actually complaining aside from Joe on Facebook? Most of the TTC's ineffectiveness is self induced, telling...

I don't know why people keep bringing up tolls? Might as well bring up flying cars as nobody politically will touch it. We also do have special constables directing traffic and trying to manage the flow of turning cars, pedestrians and vehicles going straight (lakeshore to gardiner)

Left my bike wrench at a friends place, biked to Kipling to use the repair station and everything was stolen :/

Thanks! I've never taken it that far west

The quote was from the star. UT loads EXTREMELY slowly for me and crashes often when logged in, is this affecting anyone else...
