they use a conveyor belt system for spoils, it's not a particularly complicated endeavor nor is it particularly expensive. I imagine that the cost of running seperate spoils collection facilities at each station far outweighs the extra transport distance.

The plan is for all spoils to be managed at Exhibition as far as I know.

Plus you don't want trucks running in and out of different places as you'd need to set up wholly different safety / transport protocols and noise abatement measures for each.

Good grief - please read for context. I was very clear for the dismissing the Leslieville/Riverside context, and I noted the relatively short distance between the other 4 station - from Queen/Spadina to Moss Park.


Simply because we disagree about the utility of 4 of the 8 stations that are somewhat proximate to Queen Street, does not give you the right to be so over the top rude and offensive. I really don't think anyone coming from the west pn a 501, is going to get off at Bathurst/King and walk up to Bathurst/Queen to get a 501!


Indeed no one has mentioned it all - including myself.


I'm not being disingenuous. But surely going on about my counting the travel of 3 stops from Spadina to Moss Park (1 Osgood, 2 Yonge, 3 Moss Park) with such an inexcusably personal attack is not on. Heck, even if you mistook my response as being disingenuous, on a scale of 1 to 10, that's a 2 or 3. Making personal insults is a 9.


Do you think people travelling to Queen and Yonge are going to get off a 501 at Parliament, walk down to south of King, through FOUR busy traffic lights (personally I walk that all the time when there's no 504 coming, and it always seems to take forever to cross Richmond and Adelaide in particular).

And where do you get 250 metres? The distance from the centre of Queen/Parliament to King/Parliament is 330 metres. Bur the station entrance is not at King/Parliament! The station is on Berkeley, not Parliament.

The one entrance is on Berkeley, about 30 metres south of King. The other is about 15 metres south of King, and 35 metres east of Berkeley.

The walking distance from the Queen/Parliament westbound streetcar stop to the station doors is over 445 metres! It's not 250 metres, and it's not 2 minutes. I've waited many times for 2 minutes to cross at Richmond, and then another 2 minutes at Adelaide (it seems the lights are timed so that you always hit both walking, unless you run - what have you observed walking down Parliament Street).

If you want to get off at Queen/Parliament and walk 445 metres to Corktown station, why not instead walk the 460 metres (and only 2 traffic lights) to Moss Park station? Or stay on the 501 for only 2 stops?

Agree and this is the dumbest topic ever. Who knows what life will be like when those few stops (they aren’t in a straight line) will support some Queen street traffic. We don’t know what we don’t know including whether the OL will even ever be completed. Next topic,
