Transit City did not do that. The funded phase would only serve to add more riders to the Yonge subway. You may be thinking about the Don Mills LRT which was to go to Pape and Danforth, to make an extra connection eventually to the Yonge line.

As others have noted, the co-ordination with the City and the Utilities is far from ideal. I've already heard that Dundas, which had the streetcar tracks and streetscape redone this past summer will have to be ripped up in sections for gas main work. Its backwards, but that's how things are...

I agree that Toronto uses the 12-12-12 way too much. Especially at major intersections with the 12-12-12-12. Mississauga uses the 12-8-8-12 more often, which I prefer; however, Mississauga does tend to have 3 signals at most of their intersections (granted most places the roads are at least 6...

There are a couple of examples that I know of where this is the case. The one that comes to mind right away is Queen East and Broadview, where above the red light there is another signal that will show a white bar when there is a streetcar waiting to turn at the start of the green cycle. Left...

I wouldn't say very few. Every Station on the Yonge Line and Bloor Danforth Line represents the street that it crosses (with the exception of a few cases or places where the street names change (i.e. Carlton/College, York Mills/Wilson, or a mall like Yorkdale). Yes we could have different...

Are you sure about that statement?

That half finished station under Queen is currently in use as part of the fair paid zone to switch between the northbound and southbound platforms. With respect to a line under Queen, it would most likely have to be cut and cover in the downtown core so, in theory, some modifications would be...

Safety is a big issue when you get very wide highways, as if I car breaks down you have more lanes to cross to reach a shoulder. Additionally, accidents in a 10 lane core, or 5 lane one direction, will be cause a greater disturbance to traffic. I'm sure you've been on the 401 and know that...

I lived in this neighbourhood for 25 years, and I can tell you from first hand experience that the issues are quite serious. I can agree, prehaps, that Jane and Finch and Malvern are worse off, but there is still plenty of justification for redeveloping this neighbourhood. Although, a change...

Well if this crossing is to be underground, there are no approved plans.

It may be worth it to mention that our Subway trains are also built in Thunder Bay.

As an Engineer that works in the construction industry, I would have to say Brad Ross is only partly correct. While I agree that health and safety is completely the responsibility of the Contractor, the TTC, as the Owner/Managers of the project, will share in the negative outcome of this...

You cannot construct a new roadway without new catch basins. Additionally, because you are converting from an absorptive medium (grass and plantings) to a hard surface (asphalt) design checks would have to be completed to ensure the surrounding systems can handle the extra water. As smallspy...

I just caught Doug Ford on CP24, what a joke this administration is. (including Stephen LeDrew who asks no critical questions and just loves the Fords) (and i'm paraphrasing): The monorail will head east from Union Station to Skydome, make a stop at the new 100' ferris wheel, and then pass...

There are a few of these around, I can think of two on Broadway between Mount Pleasant and Bayview. 4 way stop signs at all of them. Less of a traffic circle, more of an awkward left around a tree.

The one thing I noted off the website was they are calling this new stretch "Highway 407 East" and that it will be Owned by the Province and "the government will retain the revenues generated by tolls and establish high customer service standards". Maybe someone learned from past lessons about...

I think extending the line will increase ridership greatly, not as you put it, just take people off the MT buses going to Kipling and Islington. If as you put it, people will just be sitting on the subway longer, then apparently there is no demand for this extension because the MT buses can...

I think connecting an already very busy BD line further west would overload the line. Speaking as someone that had to try to squeeze on a train from Dufferin, Ossington and Christie at rush hour, this line (maybe not to the extent of the Yonge line) is reaching capacity fast. Yes we could find...

These are just my thoughts, not saying everything above is true, just my opinion of what would happen and not necessarily saying this is why streetcars are better than ETBs

As I noted before, the original plan was to connect with the Gardnier further down, before Dufferin. http://www.toronto.ca/waterfront/front_extension.htm
