I see people making right/left turns at Yonge/Queen on a daily basis when it is banned 24/7. So option 2 will do little. I don't think option 4 will happen. Toronto wouldn't dare - how can we have a pedestrian only street in the entire city? It is bloody murder. Option 3 is the best scenario...

Seriously, you expect the DRL, which is not even approved and won't be anything real before 2030s, to solve the congestion King st has now and use it as a rationale for not having a transit only street? Why does it have to be a substitute? Even if there is a DRL under King, it can be pedestrian...

Judging by the current two system, it is not unreasonable for them to pretend the other doesn't exist. They don't overlap much in terms of service. For example, I live downtown, and I have not take the GO even once. I mean, for what purpose? It doesn't really stop anywhere that is worth going...

bollocks! I thought it would be COMPLETED by 2023!

I came to Toronto in 2008, right in time to witness the biggest construction boom!

Apply some basically logic here. 53,000 people ride the 504 because they have no other affordable option, not because they like it. The King streetcar is not exactly some sort of successful urban transit example.

Sometimes chopping stations makes sense. If only a low number of people live within walking distance then there is little point and we shouldn't pay for that. Those feeder buses can terminate somewhere else. Queen can grow in the future. The hydro corridor can't. The obsession with a King line...

You are absolutely right about a Dundas relief lines makes zero sense, from any perspective. However, the current proposed line is expected to capture riders from the BD line on the east and therefore provide some relief at Yonge/Bloor. It was not meant to make the Yonge line north of Bloor less...

That's a horrible idea. We don't spend billions for the sole purpose of serving suburban commuters for 1.5 hour a day Monday-Friday, and let the new subway completely empty for the rest of the year. An expensive subway should be far more than that. The Yonge- University corridor is very well...

Agree. These people give travelers a very bad impression (judged by how I feel when seeing this in other countries, mostly developing countries).

The waterfront development will need its own transit, not King st, which is still far. It was fully explained why King st is not the best option all things considered, the most important reason being the cost, so let's not dwell on it. A King subway is unlikely to happen. And it is funny that...

I hope they can fixed the tennis courts. The one on the west is in terrible shape. I don't mind having a couple more considering how crowded it gets in the summer and there doesn't to be any public courts nearby.

Side walk opened today

because many still believing there is a fundamental difference between 291m and 301m... Honestly, in real life, how many of us can tell the difference with our own eyes? so why the fuss. It is the "I want a supertall" inside screaming.

Come on, it is not like Etobicoke and North York are fundamentally different from Scarborough in their "suburban" feel.

Tibet's case is totally different. The British killed thousands of indigenous people, grabbed their land and forced them out of their home, on the other hand, the Chinese abolished a slave system where 2% of the monks ran the country mercilessly, provided freedom, education and basic rights...

Few Americans will apply and none will be approved.

Apparently we can throw any bad label on Trump nowadays and still sound correct and progressive, even without logic. Any everything is legitimate just to "stop" him.

Let the land realize its true economic value. When developers want to build an expensive condo, that means the land is hugely under-used currently and doesn't achieve the ideal social benefit. I thought we live in a free market? Why does the poor's need more important than everyone else's? Why...

Toronto's Chinatown is far more diverse - ours have restaurants and other business run by many parts of China, (Sichuan, Yunan, Shandong, etc) and of different generations (old and new), not just the Cantonese community from 1970s.
