Coles Note Version To Science Centre - critical for Line 1 and very good Don River (@ Eastern) -- cheaper but hurts the neighbourhood (you need land). Don River (North) -- Can they use the Leaside Bridge? (let's wait for the engineers to do the study) Downtown - underground and complicated...

Ontario line can go under Eastern Ave (the stub 2 lane one south of the Adelaide ramp), beneath Lawren Harris Square, below Bayview. Then go above grade in Corktown Commons. I think there is enough room there for a LRT gradient to get above the tracks. Then over the river at the old Eastern...

There are 3 senior Ministers all directly impacted by this proposal and all 3 are probably very happy it was cancelled. Ernie Hardeman - Oxford - Minister of Agriculture Monte McNaughton - Lambton - Minister of Infrastructure Jeff Yurek - Elgin - Minister of Transportation

If it is truly the case that there is a 5-7 year payback then we will have private investors fighting for this project. So no provincial funding needed for electrification. ...Or the report was a bunch of b.s. to please the political masters at the time (I believe the later)

I find Tory's comments almost funny...."If the province declares that the city must bear some of the costs of the new construction but will not own the subway lines, Tory said, "obviously that's something we'll want to discuss." "...

Oh we forgot Mr Annoucement (Del Duca). If it wasn't announced 10 times it wasn't happening...and even after that it wasn't because they didn't want to offend anyone so they threw so much money at it transit became unaffordable to build.

I yield (and get honked at by the cars behind me)...but interesting. If the bus stop is in a dedicated right hand turn lane does the bus have the ROW to get back into traffic? Lots of these outside the downtown core. I also wish bus drivers knew how to use their signals. Almost as bad as...

Northfield will have 3 seperate bus routes serving it (including a route on Albert St). Some of the routes would have been awkward to egress from here (needing multiple left hand turns). Plus moving this stop would bring it too close to the R&T stop R&T will (hopefully) be a destination stop...

In the TTC's presentation there is a "Rail Viaduct Risk" for the streetcar. Looking at the drawing there are 2 rows of piles that have to be moved for the streetcar which are not needed to be moved for the APV. No idea how this does not cost any more money. Heck, for the Union Station Reno...

For all of you biking in the west end a heads up...the Humber river trail north of the Old Mill is still closed. Ice from the winter still has not melted in the Etienne Brule parking lot & surrounding area. You can bike up Old Mill Dr and then use the paved trail that goes into the park from...

It is until the real costs of excavating under an active heavy rail line crashes the TTC's dream to reality. Right now the cost for doing either option is not material. But one option is excavating and moving support pillars underneath train tracks (lots of $$$ and lots of potential for cost...

But according to City Hall there is no or minimal impact to driver. (cough cough) You must be imagining things!!!!

I'm impressed that they are looking at details on events, weather, etc. Shows you what Presto card data can be used for. Maybe they need an extra train after a Leaf weekend game (3,000 users off the highways and parking lots is impressive). Use the LED screens on the highways to advertise the...

For the people mover option I was wondering if they should consider a split-level streetcar connection. Eastbound cars running 6 feet lower than the People Mover. And westbound trains 6 feet higher. So a short incline either way (vs a long connection for eastbound trains). They would not be...

But give them credit. Instead of promising a new ROW (and studying it to death) which stopped any incremental improvements they are acting in a way that can slowly build up transit demand. 1 km of passing track isn't sexy but is certainly creates the ability to double or triple the amount of...

https://stevemunro.ca/2019/04/02/metropass-two-hour-transfer-and-presto/ Steve Munro I would argue is a "heavy" metropass user. And yet he took an average of 86 trips per month (with his admitted bias to extra trips due to the 2 hour window). Lets assume if we remove this bias under the old...

EA's can take 180 days (and at the same time they can move forward with design). For transit developments. And of course it's provincial law so they can even legislate this to remove more time if needed. If you introduce a lower-cost model of transit development (minimal changes to a standard...

I have always questioned the sanctity of the Moraine vs the headwaters of Holland River. The former is prettier and closer to a voter base but the later has a greater environmental benefit (and very pretty if you know where to look). I would rather see the little strip of land between Richmond...

There are 2 lofty goals for the DRL. (1) is to relieve the Yonge line from long commutes into downtown and (2) rapid transit downtown. I would suspect that these can be looked at separately. Can we increase GO Train capacity on RH, add underground connections at Main & Dundas West and have a...

By posting it on sites like these I don't know how you will get the selection bias out of your results. Maybe by looking at the location and mode of transit. And then go to Statscan to compare (and weight the results based on these subsections). On this site you will have too many people in...
