Galleria will apparently be sticking around to anchor the retail, at least based on Mr. Yu's website:

I mean, if you start calling me names, then I'm probably not going to like it, fatso. What you really mean is that the subway is redundant and wasteful between the Clark and Longbridge stops, because Old Thornhill will never have much density. That's why the subway won't stop along those...

But, first, we all vote for the U.S. president. Mr Miller, tear down these GO trains! (Sorry. Couldn't resist. :D)

Those routes that are in the region of Yonge St. will always have an incentive to terminate at a nearby Yonge St. subway station. Those routes that are eastward -- in the region of Bayview, or Leslie -- could indeed be rerouted if there were another high-capacity, high-speed RT line prior to...

Well, if the province taxed a penny on every dollar and put the money directly to transit where it is needed, I would gladly pay it.

I'm with you most of the way, Lesouris, but your nation-state is a straw man. It doesn't depend on being populated solely by one native nation, and it remains the basic building block of international law. Nation-states continue to be structured around a particular cultural responsibility to...

Yes, I know. Your mockery was based on the questionable premise that Islam isn't European, though. It's a bit more complicated than that. Islam is certainly well-rooted in Europe. This non-European bit is a myth that it is unhelpful to propagate, even as the premise for mockery.

Oh. Right. Jesus wasn't European. I guess the idea of Europe was a Christian one, but the present-day geography of Europe includes lots of places in which Islam has thrived for most of Islam's history. It's sort of a self-fulfilling definition.

Jesus isn't ... what?

What are you talking about?

What, no love for a tunnelled twisty mode-transfer IRL?

That's not quite fair. Schengen is a multilateral agreement involving a significant number of countries. By contrast, a Canada-U.S. agreement is bilateral, one of which two parties holds significantly more bargaining power than the other, and is therefore in a position to exert the kind of...

Off-topic, possibly, but a benefit of extending Sheppard west to connect to the Spadina line would be to reduce this point of failure by allowing passengers to route around Yonge street.

The bulk of the traffic you're trying to catch is between Steeles and Langstaff Gateway. You are arguing that it would make sense for most of this traffic to backtrack up to Langstaff Gateway in order to catch a fast train down to Union. As someone who is in the prime catchment area for your...

While I am not really sure what to make of this proposal, it just occurred to me that one way or another, we will need to be able to get people to and from Pan Am baseball at Richmond Green -- Leslie and Elgin Mills. It's a lot more likely to be served by special-purpose BRT, though, I'd think.

I really like this one too -- nice to be able to visualize the whole system. Might I suggest adding connection bubbles to places where there are interchanges between GO and TTC trains? Also, I guess this is out of scope, but I can't help wondering whether it is useful to show dedicated-ROW...

The RH GO line is not substitutable for the Yonge Line in York Region. Rather, the RH GO line is most useful for people in York Region going to Willowdale or Scarborough, and -- more importantly -- for people in Willowdale and Scarborough going south. In any case, the purpose of an express...

I am of two minds about this. On the one hand, Pickering and Mississauga both border the City of Toronto, are part of continuous lived zones with their cross-border counterparts, and are integrated in every way into a urban region that includes them. Hence the, um, "GTA". On the other hand...

Doady has me down to a tee. If only there were issues to discuss! Uh oh -- did I leave my Whopper in the MDX again? Must dash. Now you are being silly. If you build up our areas, how will we find a place to hangar our SUVs near the McDs?
