Unfortunately the media already drank the cool-aid and has already portrayed it as a service increase, so it's pretty much too late to make it seem like it's anything different than what it really is. That's unless some media outlet's investigative team decides to dig into how inadequate the...

0% chance this is opening in September, sorry to break the news to you.

Well that's certainly unexpected and to make it even more odd is that it's a No Frills that we'll be seeing; that's something I thought id never seen in a million years right in the heart of the downtown core. In the past we were all expecting more of a Farm Boy/Metro/Sobey's Urban Fresh to pop...

Oh you're going to love them, i've circled the locations in red: 1) Spadina south of Bloor 2) We can debate as to which of the traffic lights along Queens Park Circle are the most useless, but this one here in my books take the cake a chief of all of them: I mean honestly what are we...

That's exactly what I was just about to make note of. While there are certainly cases where there are some improvements (ie: Service on the 95B York Mills having service hours extended); a lot of this is just service reallocation, or service being temporarily increased due to vehicle storage...

This city has officially gone nuts with traffic light installations. That's in the Top 3 of most useless places i've ever seen a traffic signal be installed. I'll take a guess at what happened; a resident probably complained that they couldnt make a left turn onto Islington from either Prince...

Oh dont you worry, the gold coloured panels on the tower portion will soon be replaced the garbarge we're seeing on the lower levels in the next revision. And those arches on the top? Yeah forget about those, those are next on the chopping block.

The ridership simply is not there to support that. The frequency of the 109 alone is sufficient enough to cover the demand between the transitway stations.

The short answer: no.

Which on a side note, is an idiotic policy since banks can simply enable foyer access to ATMs after hours through the use of a debit card like they did back in the day.

They should fully charge and severely fine the driver/company involved in this. Maybe then it will finally stop idiot truck drivers from driving around with their buckets/booms up.

Indeed, often times I even see guys on site early in the mornings (ie: 1AM).

Definitely a massive improvement and one that is extremely well done. But unfortunately for every one of those, there's a 401 Bay + Eaton Centre + Sherway Gardens. They've missed a lot more than they've hit.

Oh god, here we go again. This firm is not capable of competently renovating anything so it can actually be an improvement.

I've been harping on this point for some time now but it's getting to the point that i'm starting to oppose developments around St.James Town unless it contributes, in one way or another, some substantial benefit back to the community. That can be in affordable housing, retail, community space...

Its actually quite impressive to see how quickly they've moved on demolishing the barriers, while laying down fresh concrete and asphalt. I can point out numerous sites in the city where roads have been dug up and concrete has been poured, but yet asphalt hasnt been poured for weeks on end so...

Almost like...a zoo;)

Is it confirmed that the crossovers will be in-line? I know there's a couple by the side of the MSF and some turnout tracks in-line, but last time I took a look it was tough to tell if there was any crossovers by the mainline track around the MSF. Not sure I would describe it as very good, if...

I purposely omitted the MSF crossover as I cant imagine how useful that would be for an in-service disruption, but you're certainly correct. That's interesting regarding crossover at Science Centre, I thought I saw that it was intended to be on the south end of the station but later it was...

There's a crossover east and west of Exhibition Station, another east of Queen station, one west of the Don portal, one north of Pape station, one north of Science Centre station. So a total of 6. I've marked the rough areas of where they will be located in red. It's easier to see the dearth of...
