You may have forgotten that many of the single family homes in the inner suburbs do not front main arterials. Their local trips would be getting from their home to the nearest main road. To lessen car dependency (of short trips), ironically would involve punching in new arterials left and right...

It's cut short because at the time of construction governments were in no mood of funding it (provincial), or just cash strapped (city). By the time the province's ready to open the cheque book, priorities changed, and therefore line's not extended.

I think point being the road was named after the village. Therefore, the name should be "Eglinton" whether they are using the cross street or the neighborhood name methodology.

That's how the German language's structured. The majority there will have no problem with it (transcribing and/or pronouncing) because that's what they speak. They could have chosen a shorter Wendat name here. Not sure why they decide to go with a name that is a phrase.

Got to say, at least the Wendat name is shorter than the English translation. Here's a shot of the street sign. But I think people who will be using this facility (those in the neighbourhood) will likely refer to it as the swimming pool/library "near the IKEA" and "behind Bessarion station".

It would be nice if in the future the Richmond Hill line runs from Bloomington to a reopened North Toronto station (assuming they are abandoning the Don Valley route), and the Ontario Line extends north to Seneca College using the rail ROW north of Lawrence (since Metrolinx owns the tracks up to...

Davisville Village = Davisville/Yonge Bedford Park = Lawrence/Yonge Looks like Eglinton is a correct choice for the station.

The name works back then when it served as auxiliary station to Union and had intercity trains. In my opinion, the new station on the midtown corridor should just be called Summerhill. Fits right into the current naming scheme - distinctive, reference to nearby area.

There is also "North Toronto". Name of nearby high school, and former town.

In my fantasy, if they proceed with that, they might as well work out a plan to bring the line to Malvern utilizing portion of the rail corridor.

Except Pearson didn't get a fourth terminal after the new T1.

The top two yellow lines are supposed to be Viva Orange and Highway 407, and the bottom yellow line the 401. The map's been incorrectly overlaid - makes sense as the network map is not to scale.

Of interest, they did plow the sidewalk before the road on my street in North York; last night for sidewalk, this afternoon for road.

Out of curiosity, are most of the pedestrian deaths caused by drivers going 50 in a 40 zone or maybe 60 in a 50 zone?

Has this been posted? Interesting changes coming to Sheppard. City of Toronto - Road Resurfacing & Reconstruction Opportunities on Sheppard Avenue East & Willowdale Avenue

It's so close to the CP rail tracks. The location has potential.

I think the tunnel needs to be bored to cross the 404 regardless. The cut-and-covered section may just be from Victoria Park to Agincourt or McCowan.

Some how I think it can use less words and perhaps replaced with pictograms to a degree. At least be consistent with formatting - platform vs. number of coaches.

That's a bit of a stretch. Doubt they'd call the Skytrain a streetcar. O-Train, maybe. Finch West and surface sections of the Crosstown, can't really blame them.

5 minutes walk gets you to King or Dundas from Queen. I don't see that being a long distance. 400m to a suburbanite is nothing.
