    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Has anyone noticed on the orange canopy right above the entrances to crosstown stations that there’s an annoying reflection of the signage above (eg. Leaside) when its lit and seen at eye level? I don’t think its something that could have been anticipated from the design alone, but once you...

    Does anyone know if there will be cell service way downnnnn in the depths of those tunnels?

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

    Ok... I simply must object... as someone who primarily commutes between Eglinton and Union - I will be subjected to double that temptation...lord have mercy:)

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Agreed. though I was hit by a car on a bike lane on Danforth - so even separated can be deadly.

    If I read between the lines, we are still many months away from an opening announcement even.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    I am a pretty safe cyclist... and I never used to wear a helmet, but due to some meds I am taking, it was recommended by my doctor that I should. And wouldn't you know it, I had two events, one day apart where both times I landed on the road and my helmet saved my head from a pretty rough...

    don't worry, the panic attack won't last long, because they will start dismantling Canada Square across the street. lol

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Honestly, if there was the political will to do this, it would get done yesterday. The technology is not that complex. I don’t think it would be cost prohibitive compared to the cost of legal systems, jails and not to mention the victimization. I believe that there are too many bleeding...

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I understand that the work is inside, I’m also talking about the above ground portions of the stations, i see them basically in the same state in Feb that they were back in Sept. but back in Sept, I saw some work Happening, it seemed like there was a sense of urgency and folks were working...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I have a simple, but elegant solution. All convicted criminals who are out on parole, must wear highly sophisticated electronic collars everywhere they go. they are not permitted to be out and about after certain hours (that would be a condition of parole). In addition these collars have a...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    True. But based on a lot of close calls I saw last summer between e-bikes and sidewalk folks I am not going out on a limb by saying that number will be heading north

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Honestly, perhaps it’s the winter weather but I don’t see much work happening at all at any of the nearby stations (laird to Bathurst). I don’t even see many workers at these stations anymore… since cleaning up the road it seems everything has slowed down again to a snails pace.

    When I take Eglinton west, I like to think of it as an "off roading" experience... lol

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I was recently at Eglinton station and while looking around at the really poor state of the station, mezzanine, bus platforms and Subway platforms and i couldnt help but wonder what a depressing contrast it will be… does anyone know if there are plans to modernize it when the redevelopment of...

    Toronto Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Im wondering if it has anything to do with the planned shift of the Eglinton platform several meters to align with the station below? I don't frequent the subway, so Im not sure if that work has even started yet? I thought that there were going to be a large number of Eglinton station...

    Where's the picture of the crazy homeless guy yelling obscenities at the invisible people?

    Maybe they unearthed some horrific malevolence under Y and E and it's been wreaking havoc on Metrolinx for the past year? ;)
