Thanks. I've gone over the original post I replied to and the photo a few times, and I think the OP was looking at something on the far (west) side of the rail tracks in the belief it was a parallel ramp structure. In actuality, I think it's just the existing old paths that extend north west...
Yes I know! but the post was about a parallel ramp, which I took that as being on the west side of the railway corridor, but probably misunderstood. So it's just the one big ramp down to the LDT, as I thought? I didn't think they were changing the existing bridge, but just adding the ramp and...
One of the city staff at the aforementioned roundtable last week mentioned they had "no interest" in doing land appropriations for the park expansions, so definitely on the right track with the developer built options.
Speaking of Cedarvale, I am trying to figure this one out:
The new Line 5 entrance out to Eglinton West and Everden (the sole south side entrance) has three fare gates to enter/exit. Two are widened accessible wheelchair logoed gates. It's absolutely crucial to have such accessible gates in...
I went, and as discussed offline this was an absolute sh*tshow of brigading, rageful residents who shouted down the speaker and didn't want to hear the presentation. Apparently the later roundtable with Coun. Colle was even worse, as he riled up the crowd with a rambling, anti-development...
A years delayed line is an operational disaster. The PR is already so bad. Of course they want it to go perfectly, but that will never happen. They need to open the line. They have had enough time.
Creating this one full-system map with the station lights for all lines was an interesting move, as I guess the same one will be deployed on all subway and LRT vehicles (eventually?). So all the lights not on your current line will just stay unlit? Will Line 2 will be getting these as well? Up...
"Ottawa LRT" has become the code word for infinite & indefinite delays to this line. I guess the fear is that "Eglinton Crosstown" doesn't become the same. (hint, it's too late guys)
Thanks for this thoughtful recap. I was also at the first presentation this afternoon, and as someone who doesn't really dwell in this space I found it so disheartening – mostly from the side of the audience.
The slideshow by the well-meaning presenter was almost useless for readability in a...
I'm not too sure about opening this up. Like I would support it if it was carefully designed and built, but the way these "lanes" were put in is fundamentally quick-build and not very permanent or safe feeling. The curbs and bollards are fine for cyclists, and you could argue it's equivalent to...
Why does this look like Glencairn is on Line 5? I can see they are struggling with the spacing. Almost like a fully digital option would have been the way to go for these, instead of the Litebrite approach.
