    Line 5 Condos (Reserve Properties/Westdale Properties) - Real Estate -

    We bought a condo at Don Mills and Eglinton in 1998 that included the LRT (now the Crosstown) in the marketing materials. It'll be a full 20 years from when we moved in until it finally opens. We moved out 11 years ago, before construction even started on the Crosstown.

    Strange that 4518 isn't tracking yet. What's the protocol for installing and activating the GPS on these cars? I assume it's done after delivery at the Leslie Barns as part of the acceptance.

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Things seem to have drifted in this thread towards general sightings of Flexities and away from the specifics of deliveries and testing of new cars. Might I suggest the CPTDB (https://cptdb.ca/forum/25-sightings-for-greater-toronto-area/) if you are looking for sightings and general transit chat...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Sadly, this is how "media" works now. It's all about generating clicks with clickbait BS stories. You get some virtue-signalling social justice warrior concern trolls who invent stories about how Presto disadvantages the poor or some other group. The media loves this stuff to death because they...

    The corner windows on the south-east corner are a real disappointment. It looks like they were supposed to be rounded glass, but they stuck some squared off ones in those units instead. They don’t match up with the precast and just look wrong.

    Is there a list of the remaining ALRV’s?

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Seems unlikely that those will be "in service" by December 31 at this rate. Assuming the two arrive and are offloaded by Monday (Christmas Eve), which is probably a stretch, that allows just a few "working" days to get them in service. That doesn't account for the Kingston car either. I think...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    I did some updates to my little tool that quickly tracks certain Flexity cars. https://www.jameskoole.com/flexity/ New: - better mobile support for viewing on tablets and phones. - added a few "interesting" cars to the list including the flood damaged cars, the cars that went back for welding...

    4572 is heading to Leslie Barns under its own power. Just saw it go through Broadview and Queen.

    Adding more cars to the array would be simple, but there are better sites for that (transsee.ca, for example). It’s a lot of API calls to get all ~115 as well. You’re right though, I should probably use the time I have this week to make some improvements. Better mobile support first!

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    I hacked together a quick page today to make it super easy to quickly check which of the 4500 series cars are tracking. Maybe someone other than myself will get some use out of it. https://www.jameskoole.com/flexity/ I'm showing the car number, time since the last update, and also the route the...

    Toronto XO Condos | 53.64m | 14s | Lifetime | Core Architects

    The Starbucks on the north-east corner is gone as of yesterday. They closed up at 4pm, took down all the signs and papered the windows. The new location in the former CIBC branch on the north-west corner is not ready yet but it's close to done and they plan to open December 16. There's no sign...

    Guess they ran out of white numbers in Kingston for the one above the front windshield?

    Anyone have any details on the work being done on the south side roof? Looks like they are putting a new membrane over the old in some sections.

    Toronto Kingston&Co Condominiums | 38.4m | 10s | TAS | Teeple Architects

    I'm three blocks over...if I'm out and about tomorrow I'll snap a few pics. The retail is still unfinished. Rumours of a Starbucks moving in (the one from Bingham moving over) are apparently not true. The awning over the sidewalk is still not completed either. There were also neighbourhood...

    Liberty Village pedestrian link

    As of this morning, excavation has started on the north side of the tracks on Douro.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    That cycling increase might be at least partially related to the expansion of Bikeshare as well as the absolute terrible state of the cycle track on Adelaide thanks to construction through the core and also on the east side from Jarvis to Parliament.
