Interesting! I find Royal York as one of the safest (for me..) roads to cycle in Toronto. The bike lane is a bit narrow, but not too narrow. The passing cars can see you well and don't cut you at intersections. With protective barriers it would be too narrow!! I don't like Bloor or Yonge...

Attended the EglintonTOday Complete Street Project public meeting on Wed. Nothing new was said, just the same Metrolinx slide deck that we all know about. The audience was very typical NIMBY crowd; the majority of questions were related to the number of lanes and the number of parking spots. A...

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. The presenter mentioned that the second Cherry Str Bridge North is coming shortly; anybody knows when is the scheduled arrival?

That's my approach, give it a few days until snow is cleared.. Time to switch to Watopia trails, at least until it is save to go back to a real world..

I would even more concern with the transfer stations. Are we up for another 7 years of no-weekend trains on Lines 1, 2, and 5.. I hope not!

Electrification?

Why not to re-name Dundas to Dundas? I am sure there are quite a few good people with a last name Dundas... We can have a couple of memorial plaque placed in strategic places (e.g., Dundas Square, TTC station) that would describe "a good Dundas" deeds. Not my original idea, but I think the...

Short-turning is probably a better solution during rush hours. And the "fast" part of the line can be extended to Science Centre station, if they manage traffic at the Leslie intersection (or build an overpass..). That way, the fast part will be connected to a future Ontario Line station.

I think they will, unfortunately.. There are too many small intersections that allow left turn (such as Swift Dr., Sloane Ave, Eglinton Square, and Pharmacy Ave around Victoria Park intersection; some of them only 200m apart. from each other), so I think it is almost impossible to synchronize...

The signal priority will help, but it will not solve the problem. As I mentioned before, with 5 min frequency, we have two trains passing each intersection (in opposite direction), so, a train each 150 sec. Minus time to cross (say 15 sec) and some buffer time to change the light (another 15...

Looks like they are getting ready:

I think a signal priority could help a bit, but it would not solve the problem of too many surface crossing... With frequency of 5 min, we have two trains passing each intersection, each 2 m 30 sec. Minus time to cross (say 15 sec) and some buffer time to change the light (another 15 sec) it...

Looks good for summer months.. Might not be as attractive in January, after a snow storm.

Well, you said about New York as the only place where these tall buildings make sense.. Chicago just recently added a 423m tower, not in 70s. Toronto built the tallest structure in the world back in 1976, I think we can come up with another outsanding project (not necessary a super-tall).

Chicago? Same population as Toronto

And how is Crosstown a radial..

It does, but I agree that the Mexico City Int-l must be not far behind..

It is interesting that, if current growth rate remains, some time next year Pearson will become the busiest North America airport by international traffic, overcoming Kennedy. Here is my little graph showing extrapolated projections, using 2015-2018 data:
