    VIA Rail

    I understand they want to be inclusive, but now, that washroom symbol has become meaningless. They are better off using a pictogram of the actual toilet - as they always should have.

    Toronto Park Lawn GO Station | 12.83m | 2s | First Capital | Hatch

    The exterior renderings remind me of Japan train stations - even the primitive bike parking. Now if only that proposed TOD building is filled with eateries and shops on the first few floors of the podium...

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    All platforms at underground stations are located after the fare gates, so I don't see the need to have them between platforms at Kennedy/Eglinton/Cedarvale.

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Don't forget Metrolinx also submitted application to relocate the station right next to TTC Leslie - no clearance issue there.

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    That may give us one or two days with lighter passenger volume but do nothing for rest of the weekdays. It's not like there's 20% reduction in trips every weekday.

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Good catch. Looks like those are right turn/bus pocket lanes, with bus stops at nearside and farside. In that case, it's a standard configuration - 2 through lanes, 1 right turn lane(through lane for bus), 1 left turn lane.

    Toronto Burbank Heights | 108.07m | 32s | Sky Property Group | Kirkor

    Oh, they WILL fight. The properties on the south end of Whittaker Cres. will be in complete shadow from dawn til dusk on winter solstice; or at the least in shadow during the morning for half of the year. *reference to the Sun Shadow Study

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Perhaps a pair of those could be use as bus only lanes?

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    On the app, you swipe right and then there's an "Add Card" section. Tap PRESTO, then the Add Card button. Put in card and verification number (all on the back of card).

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I think you do realise I put the words in quotes. At worst, the numbering is part random, part systematic. 67 and 167. 39 and the long cancelled 139. I am not even going to include the 900s and 300s. 180 is a good alternative, but they probably figured to make it a branch of 80 since it...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Consumers Road area is part of the ward she represents. She is not going to tell her constituents they will be waiting under glass canopies (for a one stop ride) during the less than comfortable seasons; and definitely not her other constituents along line 4 that they will be taking replacement...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    That's not how their "numbering scheme" works. It's called 176 because it runs on similar routing as 76 Royal York.

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    That highway should probably merge with 400 north of Barrie. There won't be much of a bottleneck.

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    If done right, from McCowan, line 4 can easily be extended to serve Malvern without much tunneling.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Doesn't that create the same concern we have with line 5? Mixing street running with a full garde separated section.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    The dividing line is around Victoria Park Av. Anywhere east of that, it is faster to transfer to an extended line 4. Density on Finch East is also very nodal; meaning most of its ridership in Scaborough can easily be absorbed by line 4.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    That section is a tough one (cost wise). There's a creek at Bayview, and the East Don is a deep ravine.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    I think it's also an added benefit to have a route crossing both branches of the Don that's not affected by the weather.

    FastLane: Gil Penalosa’s transit platform for Toronto

    Does the current 925 work well? Don Mills does have the diamond lanes which are already semi-rapidTO lanes. They can probaby beef up the 925 and add late evening service.
