    SmartTrack (Proposed)

    Wondering if an express routing of a Bramalea-Unionville SmartTrack train could eventually become a nice little technology corridor shuttle between Kitchener <--> Toronto <--> Markham.

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Walking through the York Concourse yesterday evening and noticed some kind of work for a wrapped video board around one of the pillars.

    Toronto Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    You guys have selective reading... I agreed that the wayfinding is lacking and adding an airplane logo would definitely be helpful. However the name UP Express is actually pretty good IMO.

    Toronto Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    There is zero, repeat ZERO chance in the 2015 that someone coming to Toronto for work or play from 90% of the world is doing so without doing any research about attractions and transit/mobility. In fact most would use this crazy new-fangled website called Google to do that research in lieu of...

    Toronto Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    While there are definite improvements that can be made in wayfinding and other signage the name itself is hardly an issue. Do you know what cities operate these services? KLIA Ekspres Flytoget N'EX Arlanda Express A'Rex Express Leonardo Express Suvarnabhumi Rail Link Aeroexpress Haruka

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    I did look at Miscreant's pics before posting and I really don't have any issue with their placement tbh. The lettering is not meant to be viewed from a single angle anyway or as the singular identifier of the station. If you're walking south on University, York, and Bay the signage is clear...

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    ^^ Huh? TotoTo, you do realize the purpose of the large sign is so people can see it from a distance... if you cross over to the north side of Front St... or walk up Bay and/or University to understand the purpose. smh.

    Roads/MTO: Highway 427 Transitway (Proposed)

    Worthless?! Seems pretty smart to my simple mind to protect transit ROWs alongside new highway contruction. There was a time when anything north of Eglinton was "suburban fringe". I remember when as a kid we moved to Scarborough to the "suburban fringe" of McCowan & Steeles. Both McCowan and...

    That's a million dollar view... very jealous!

    Roads/MTO: Highway 427 Transitway (Proposed)

    agreed. But that's not the plan. As part of the 427 north extension the transitway ROW will be protected all the way up to Major Mackenzie. "The Recommended Alternative includes a transportation corridor consisting of a highway and transitway, as well as associated works and support...

    Toronto Queens Quay & Water's Edge Revitalization | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Pretty much anywhere outside Toronto proper the driving gets progressively worse as the roads get wider and the signal intervals get longer. Living in Markham I can say that I doubt that anyplace is worse than here... driving at night without lights, not indicating turns, making lefts on red...

    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    Was actually referencing the 4 vs. 8 in the address. I've heard numerous times that 4 sounds like death vs. 8 which apparently sounds like wealth in Mandarin/Cantonese. I agree with your rationale AG. Maybe it's just coincidence but changing of 4s to 8s has happened so many times in condo...
