Here is the original question: I think the post-secondary pass is "similar" enough to the UPASS. Yeah you pay 6 times more, but you get what you pay for. The TTC knows the majority of students are already captive riders (maybe not York but definitely the downtown post-secondary) so they...

Yep.. these roundabouts are City work at its finest The configuration some with/some without stop signs has been in place for at least 5+ years since their construction

I agree with your initial comment that it would be expensive to coordinate such a system across GTA transit but the discounted Metropass is similar to the UPASS - a post-secondary student only pass, unlimited travel, discounted fee.

Wrong... at least for the TTC http://www.ttc.ca/Fares_and_passes/Fare_information/Seniors_students_and_children/Post_Secondary_Students.jsp Post secondary students get a $22 discount on their monthly pass

Soooooo..... How about that market crashing?

I think this is a more uniform looking "stacked" building. Gerrard works, but there is so much going on with that building I don't know where to look first! And the old Sutton Place will definitely be less playful as a retrofit compared to a new build.

Compared to 43 Gerrard this is pure harmony

From the Star: “Over the last five years, each and every year consistently, the safety of this city has been improved,” he said. While homicides have decreased, shootings are up, attributed, in part, to gang members becoming more brazen in firing off bullets as an intimidation tactic...

Lol, nice one! :D I agree that this is still pretty far for most and that the ferries would survive, but I think a bridge from the Eastern Gap would effectively kill the (desired?) isolation of the resident community on the island. That said, if its not a huge issue for the community then...

Wait a minute... density determines transit infrastructure investment? People want streetcars. Streetcars, streetcars, streetcars! /s

Totally agree, I can't stand waiting in these lines - check out the BlogTO pictures (5th & 8th from the top) - no progress in 100 yrs!

I think this is a good starting point for pictures: http://www.blogto.com/city/2011/06/a_visual_history_of_toronto_ferries/ I'm going to be the spelling nazi - you're missing the U in Harbour!

Sooner rather then later I hope.. The new street considered between Harbour & Queens Quay to the west of the site is being abandoned by staff: http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2012.PW16.1 I'm just glad its still on Staff radar for the time being

This block is going to look great when the loop next door is gone!

My guess would be contraflow as well As a broader statement on the bike path: I appreciate the design and commitment to build it but I cannot see myself using it As part of the "promenade"/Martin Goodman Trail it is a multi-use path and not a bike lane. I cycle aggressively and there are too...

Personally I don't want a Walmart here either - any other big box is fine NWIMBYism maybe?

If there's a place for corrugated siding in Toronto it's down at the waterfront - reminds me of shipping containers
