Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

Deal with it.
is this the kind of petty responses this forum has devolved into? The prior point made is a valid one, and I'm sure shared by many of us who use this forum for real information. Not endless debates of the same topic and personal opinions rehashed over and over.

This is not about being petty. It is simply stating the obvious: repeated planning mistakes with Line 5 and Line LRTs naturally lead to repeated complaints. In fact, complaints after Line 6 prompted the city to implement transit signal priority, showing that pointing out problems can lead to real improvements. Ignoring these patterns or asking people to stay quiet does not make the situation any better.

Olivia Chow is not reading your forum posts. You are not speaking truth to power here.

It was 100% uncivil. My comment did not merit your response. Please do better

Like I said to someone else, deal with it. You can insulate yourselves and have a circle jerk all you want on this forum about how great Line 6 is. In the real world, people are upset and rightfully so….be it Instagram, TikTok, BlogTO etc.

If you don’t like comments being critical of poor decisions, you’re more than welcome to put me on ignore. Problem solved.

Come down off the cross. Easter isn't until April.

No one is defending poor decisions. We should be critical of poor decisions. But aside from venting on Urban Toronto, what have you done? Have you called the mayor's office? Written her a letter or email? How about your local councillor or MPP? Have you complained to Doug Ford? Have you contacted the TTC and Metrolinx?

6ixGod, let's do a big reset on this, okay? The original message you replied to, did not tell people to stay quiet, but I responded with "??" because I thought that's what you might have meant. I will accept that you're against people telling other people to stay quiet, and I misread a vague statement. This was probably much ado about nothing. I'm all for dropping my objections, and have us all be friendly again.
 
Nice but I can’t see the left side well.

Perhaps this will happen, and as a frequent transit user I really hope it will. What has actually happened so far is that in December 2025 the mayor and the city council passed a resolution asking for improvements. Not that different from another resolution that the mayor and the council passed in April 2025.
