Eglinton North can probably be re-named 'Sunnybrook Park', to align with the closest Crosstown stop at Leslie.

I see this as a way of nicely packaging for the Province a way to support the City's operating hole without it seemingly like the government is just giving Toronto a cheque. The City has a hole of X hundred million...either give us money to fill part of that entire hole, or take responsibility...

Presumably you're talking about an inspection on GO, as you wouldn't be tapping off on TTC? And it wasn't live on the weekend on TTC.

In this morning's press conference, they mentioned that was coming soon.

Owner of Centreville bought one of them back in 2017 (article link), and its visible in streetview below. It's even been tagged on Google Maps.

I think this has been discussed here (somewhere) before, but I think the Leaside Spur Trail is still zoned in a way that it could be converted back to a transport corridor. You'd have about 140 homes (and one condo) that probably wouldn't be happy, but I wouldn't it be hard to justify a $1B...

The simple analogy I like is that electrification of transport alone in Ontario will require the equivalent of an extra Darlington in base load. And that''s before you decarbonize home heating, industrial, etc. We'll need that electricity.

Question...does LSW need 4 tracks to hit max service? I'm curious whether there is width to extend OL west along the corridor before going underground to go up Jane for a possible west extension. Both would have surface station at Roncesvalles. Option 1 would go underground up South Kingsway...

Incorporate Jane LRT into OL West (like DRL into OL) and I think you have it. Also doesn't hurt as an election promise as a win for the Premier's nephew's riding in the next election.

In Weston, I'll be curious to see whether a co-fare pushes people from UPX onto GO, even with its less frequent and slightly slower trips in rush hour. I can't imagine the co-fare would apply to UPX (using TTC-fare). Perhaps if the base fare is the UP, and TTC is a free addition. UPX probably...

One of the phase 1 towers at Sherway takes up the existing Tesla store parking (and the old Holt Renfrew footprint).

So PRESTO will calculate whether you're riding Ontario Line, or if you tap off at a GO station? Might mean that Ontario Line will have tap on/ tap off? Otherwise, if the default for a gate tap for someone entering at Exhibition is Ontario Line fare, then you could get a lot of fraud by people...

This is what I was thinking. You could even make it a free loop if you wanted, like they have in the CBD on their trams in Melbourne.

If their proposed (as noted in the 2022 Master Plan) maglev does move forward, you could theoretically have a spur go through the proposed yard with a cross-platform connection down in the valley. That would require a lot less track work, but be much more disruptive to the park. You might also...

Has been raised to the MPP's office, as when he was councilor, he supported the trail. Suspicion is that someone from the golf course went running to the province. The province has NEVER asked for this level of EA for any trail in Toronto before.

Wouldn't this extension require a new northern yard (smaller than Downsview)? I don't see where that would go other than some vacant land around 10555 Yonge St. (seems wrong type of land use) or over by the Richmond Hill GO station parking lots.

Wonder if this would apply to UP too? 🤞

I'm curious about the very short track 4th down from the top on the west end? Could they be moving UP from a dedicated station? I can't think of any other west end train in regular service that would be that short....

The local in me wonders whether an Ontario Line West extension running through a Ford riding is something that can be floated before the next election.

I think this also validates the importance of the Jane corridor, going back to Transit City. I still think an Ontario Line west should find some way to Jane subway station (through the park or under South Kingsway), then go straight up. I'd also add a GO for Milton at St. Clair Dundas (call it...
