The City of Toronto and the TTC have favoured the all underground version of the SSE since 2013 and in 2017 even voted to make it a one stop underground subway. Metrolinx took over the project after Doug Ford annouced the Get Ontario moving initiatives in April of 2019. Why didn't the City of...

Is there anything planned for the small parking lot just slightly east of here on the Esplanade?

Yes and if 3 billion fully pays for the DRL then they should go ahead and build it.

Are you telling us Leslieville, Thorncliffe Park, and Flemo Park are "dense downtown" areas ?

They can go back to the DRL alignment when they pay for it themselves..

Not just Metrolinx, look at the TTC with platform walls made of concrete for the new stations on the Spadina extension even though the stations themselves look pretty good. This is not even just transit, there are many we can identify from our parks to our public squares I don't know why we have...

Yes the ultimate Canadian pastime. Convincing ourselves that we are better than Americans, forgetting that the rest of the world exists..

Compare a typical train station platform in the Netherlands to the asphalt and concrete banality we have here in Toronto... It's like we are not even trying..

I thought the buses at the Toronto Coach Terminal are also supposed to move here, I hope it's soon. That place is dead now with the coronavirus so it can be redeveloped.

That's laughable. What can the city of Toronto teach Amsterdam or Sydney about aesthetics These are cities which have elevated transit or are building it. We dont even have to leave Canada, just go to Vancouver. Montreal is building elevated for its REM. The city have a credibility issue with...

Examples of this include the stops at Sunnybrook Park and Aga Khan on the Crosstown. Metrolinx eliminated those two stops and the city along with their politicians fought to have it included back. Sunnybrook Park had the distinction of not making the line completely grade separated from Mount...

This sums up how the city has screwed up transit in the city with their obsession with on street LRT. They hate elevated transit with a passion. They even messed up the Crosstown with that useless stop at Sunnybrook Park when Metrolinx wanted to go underground all the way to Science when the...

You must be trolling if you can't wrap your brain around that fact that the city of Toronto was in charge of planning for this line after SmartTrack and they stuck with the on street LRT for years. They fought back against grade separation at intersections and elevated. If elevated was the...

That is hogwash. The city of Toronto evaluated the options for for this corridor before Doug Ford became premier. They stuck with the on street LRT even though there was opposition from some in the area including the councillor who did not want that option. As soon as Doug Ford came in and...

Elevated was evaluated by the city. I remember seeing the report posted here but the city of Toronto with their love of on street LRT did a hit piece with biased reasoning against the elevated option so that the on street LRT will come on top which is the preferred option that they brought...

You have to remember that so many here and other places have spent years following the plans for the Relief Line and have so much personal capital invested in it. This thread has been opened since 2008 and people have been dreaming up plans and locations for the stations for years even before...

The city of Toronto is responsible for this line going underground. Everybody knows Doug Ford is against on street transit but nothing tells me that he is against elevated and only prefers underground. When the options for Eglinton West were being evaluated before Doug Ford became premier, the...

Train to Busan

The Relief Line is dead and it's not coming back. Barring some epic miracle, Ontario Line is what will be built. I don't know if anyone has noticed but the coronavirus has greatly helped Doug Ford. Before it, he was struggling in the polls but since Covid and he has made a big turnaround. I...

What is the city of Toronto's obsession with on street LRT which may even have to stop for red lights like we see with streetcars and I wouldn't be surprised if the new Eglinton and Finch LRT is like this. They hate elevated transit considering the hit piece we saw against elevated transit for...
