I can't imagine the Ontario Line crossing line 2 at Dundas West or anywhere east of that. All the official studies that suggested such a plan pre-date all the fare integration, presto, and Metrolinx expansion plans. There is going to be frequent nonstop service from Spadina and Front to...

When the Eglinton Line and Pickering GO were contracted they hadn't completed the wayfinding standard so they are based on early drafts. Line 3, 6, and 10 will be the first lines fully implemented with the new standard plus GO station rebuilds, Caledonia, and the SmartTrack stations.

I'm both a supporter of there being Picking Airport lands, and doing nothing with those lands. It makes sense to reserve lands so that they exist should another airport be needed, and clearly our airport capacity is not currently maxed out, nor have we really made a push on corridor rail...

No, the point was being made that people can live with bikes and they achieve it by not buying a trunk load of groceries but rather a couple of bags. When people hear I don't own a car it is often things like picking up groceries that seems beyond the realm of possibility for them. "They ask...

So this doesn't seem to bode well for New Years Eve services.

Clearly if rescue in a reasonable time frame is not possible, redundancy is. DMUs or dual engine consists are going to be required, food to last an extended period of time, greater washroom capacity and perhaps a janitor to travel with the train. VIA needs to create a better response plan and...

Prediction if they build this: - 7 years the congestion will be abysmal because of all the construction impacts - opening day people will think wow this is amazing... it worked! Nevermind that ending construction alone would have reduced congestion. - 7 years later it will be just as bad as the...

Yes it is sad they are cheaping out and I suspect it won't even be substantially cheaper considering the engineering design of the full build out would have continued to use common structural elements and systems throughout. The existing design is de-risked from a deliverability and design...

Most people that read this idea at first thought it was a hoax, fiction, or a joke. That is all that really needs to be said about the idea. What is the use case where "massive tunnel with personal vehicles" comes out on top as the efficient and sustainable solution in a Toronto context where...

The published speed of the BHT Hovercraft is 45 knots (83km/h), so the 50km route would take about 36min, but then you aren't at Niagara Falls yet, nor downtown St Catharines, so there would be time on top of that to get anywhere. Early arrival time plus trip time plus transfer time plus...

There needs to be expropriation when large public projects are build that require properties in a particular place in order to serve their intended purpose. Not having expropriation would lead to the public purse being extorted. The one hold out would end up getting way more than makes sense...

Are you sure? The last I heard it become EglintonTOday, which is a scaled down non-permanent version and of course painting lines on an existing street, not creating or moving any infrastructure, and not fully separating bikes from potential conflicts is cheaper than 150M. What makes the...

Meanwhile in Josh Marlow's own ward the city shows how great it is at delivering projects that were promised to residents a decade ago... Eglinton Connects. Eglinton landscaping including bike lanes. I wonder what the price would be to deliver that as planned and when we would see it.

This GO electrification and investments to remove TTC slow zones can't come soon enough. I went from Yonge & Eglinton to Glen Abbey Community Center last Sunday using transit and it took 1 hour and 40 minutes and I had almost not transfer time (rushed to the train, rushed to the bus), whereas...

Yes, tolls + off hours deliveries (lowered tolls) + faster public transit alternatives.

It is a possibility in that they have the rights to built it. I think the Twin Otter line has started but I haven't heard any news that DH have the stars aligned to restart Dash 8 400s. There is no doubt restarting that line in a completely new location and the fact that except for support...

Toronto Island Airport really isn't sustainable over the longer term. For the amount of land it currently sits on, it is probably already at maximum capacity and even now the volume of traffic isn't enough to pay for any real connection to public transit. As Porter expands and Billy Bishop...

It seems obvious to me that the costs would be the bridges and retaining walls. Yes, the city should get a break down to ensure that costs like the retaining walls are only billed to the city because it is directly attributable to the bike path and doesn't include the costs that would have...

I would imagine it is to make it a bit more obvious that that is not where pedestrians should stand. Diagonal lines tends to mean hazard. With the platform being concrete and the track bed being concrete they may have felt a few more additional visual queues might be beneficial. Hopefully...

The plan is that there will be a metro like service in the more urban areas of the GO network which means a combination of more stops and more frequency. I'm sure on the Lakeshore line there will be services that bypass many of the stations between Oakville and Downtown once the service is...
