It's good to see something finally being done for Dupont, the state of the crumbling tile work there is just sad. However after seeing this my question is, why were the funds not released to the TTC for 20+ years?

Do I have my consultants mixed up, or are these the same ones who came up with the idiotic "T" logo for transit stops and grey colour scheme for LRVs to make them "look and feel like subways"?

Yes i'm aware. The TTC board appointed him as CEO, but let's not forget who the mayor was at the time of the appointment.

The Bay bus no longer serves the area, "service" has now been replaced by the 114 Queens Quay East. Nevertheless, transit along the area is garbage and wont get better for decades.

Hallelujah! Getting back from work to read this fantastic news of Leary hitting the door is Christmas in summer. It's about time the clown who helped degrade the TTC to the mess that it's devolved into is finally gone. Now hopefully the city has learned their lesson from selecting bottom of...

Yup i'm very much of the same thinking. Knowing the GTAA, anything that's constructed in an "interim" fashion will be there for decades and decades without any form of further improvement. For reference, this was the 2008 Terminal 1 expansion plan (which goes hand in hand with 1 of the images...

Cladding up close (June 19 2024): Curved panels in view on the left:

That wouldnt be enough to accommodate anything remotely close to this proposal.

I wouldnt be surprised at all knowing how dysfunctional this city is a planning things. But please tell me you're joking....you are joking right? TO inview only displays work through to 2025 as far as I can see.

There was sewer rehabilitation and watermain replacement work that took place north of Kipling @ Horner last year and carried over to this year but is just about wrapped up. There was also some Sewer rehabilitation work that took place on Kipling south of Horner in 2022 if memory serves correct...

One day Metrolinx will get shovels in the ground on the actual project. 🐌

Right on cue there was a crew using a circle saw cutting on Kipling just south of Horner in the morning today. This is getting comically pathetic; either contractors are continuously botching work on this stretch or this is truly where construction workers go to practice and train how to do road...

We're being way to lenient on these idiot drivers. I say we install electric shock fences, that should work pretty well.

Under Front St.

I know the stretch you are talking about very well, there has been some kind of construction along that stretch of Kipling essentially every year for the part ~8 years. It's the epitome of mismanagement and bad coordination. I wonder what the city is going to come up with next year for that...

Dont you worry, the Ontario Line issues will crop up once Acciona starts building their section of the line. We'll see how that affects the Yonge subway extension timeline.

Steve Munro has published an article outlining the pretty appalling state of the TTC's subway maintenance fleet and its availability. The long and short of it is that a significant chunk of the TTC's maintenance fleet has been out of service for significant chunks of time either due to...

Most definitely this is true, there would be people who would shift their mode of transit but to a certain extent. The reality is, if the Gardiner was torn down surrounding routes would have to take on the overflow, and this city simply isnt in a position today where it could absorb that. But...

I took some screenshots of Toronto traffic during the complete shutdown of the Gardiner following that major accident at York on June 12. Remember the accident happened around 2pm (before rush hour). It was literally impossible to navigate almost anywhere in a 5km radius of the Gardiner or the...

Great thing we know where Toronto Transportation Services priorities are these days.
