If the trip from Toronto to Montreal with HFR will take 4:45 then really this doesn't help with driving more passengers on this route. Right now the route takes about 5hrs at best of times. A 15min savings even with more frequent services won't do much. It would increase more leisure passengers...

I understand what you are saying and I agree that we need to make other parts of our city more attractive to development. However, this has already been tried and failed. Building subways in suburbs is what gave us our current transportation problems now. Money was wasted on building huge...

They added a new station in Forest Hill village at Lonsdale and Spadina but there are no bikes yet and it doesn’t seem to be an active site just yet. Hope they install more in the neighbourhood. The school and more locations on Eglinton once the LRT opens would be fantastic.

When is the new terminal set to open? It’s a long time in the making.

Ghods is an unscrupulous builder. Buyer beware.

Glad Vaughan is finally getting a hospital but it’s in the wrong location. It’s way too close to York Region hospital Mackenzie site just a few kms down the road. It should have been built further south and west - near VMC to be more accessible.

Neither Brampton or Mississauga have any true urbanity feel to them. They are both sprawling suburbs that are maturing. Mississauga is ahead but it’s downtown is a joke. Sure there is density but no one walks and few take transit. Most of the streets are wide and have high speeds. There are some...

That's the kind of result we will get. The best outcome for Canada is a minority parliament. No one deserves full power at this point.

Them too, although it's mostly the city council that controls this area.

I would agree that there were legitimate concerns with the LRT plan - e.g. too many stops, and created yet another orphan technology in Scarborough. However, the original Transit City has 3 LRT lines in Scarborough and at one point the main LRT was to be an extension of Eglinton into SCC and...

Toronto and Ontarians fall easy prey to slimy salesmen of Rob and Doug. The Fords did a con-job on Scarborough residents by making the subway a wedge issue and making Scarborough feel inferior because they were getting LRT instead of a subway like Vaughan and now Richmond Hill will get. This...

Absolutely nothing will happen to Yonge. The powers that be don't want to invest in the city. With the recent downloading by Ford onto the city's shoulders, this project as well as others (Like the John St. corridor) lay by the wayside waiting for a new mayor and council who are willing to...

YDS did not achieve much during his tenure. He seemed to enjoy the role and had a great vision for VIA but the Liberals let him down by not committing to funding VIA HFR and instead of creating the Infra bank boondoggle. Besides the ongoing discussions with the Federal government on HFR and...

This is awful. Truly awful and adds nothing to this important corner in North York.

41% is low. No wonder Greens won. Everyone else stayed home. Housing won’t be an issue in October election. It’s mostly a problem in Toronto and Vancouver only. The other cities in Canada is pretty much affordable for the average person. Toronto and Vancouver are the global cities and our real...

Anyone know what the turnout was? Usually a low turnout for by elections can skew the results.

That’s to the Hoghway 7 Viva stop.

The Eglinton Connects plan is NOT FUNDED. This link shows the city vision but as always, without funding the street will just be patched up once construction ends. So nothing will be built until we get a more city building friendly government at city hall.

Same can be said in Scarborough, yet we argue about the number of stations on that extension and the cost to build them. Ultimately its a fix amount of money to go around. If we overbuild here, then we starve the system where it needs it. This has been the Toronto model - We overbuilt where its...

So how many of the new streetcars do we have now? Are we at 141/204?
