Something is wrong with the York shelters because all the GO buses on the route stop on the curb. I'm curious if the shelter isn't high enough or what the rationale is.

To know that would require transparency.

I think when you combine this statement with the East Harbour TOD priority and Waterfront Toronto housing priority, the language is saying the right thing in terms of Waterfront East LRT despite no specific mention. Although, clearly the province will not be spending money on streetcars and...

The moat has leaks. I guess for this purpose they figure it wasn't a concern, but the target state would have some retail in the old parking spots on the north side of the west moat and without the work to patch the leaks which is to be combined with the work to install bollards to have a...

Maybe we can get the station added to Doors Open permanently so that every May the public will have an opportunity to see the inside of Crosstown stations.

I wouldn't be surprised if 50% of the cars blocking the streetcar are Ubers. Ubers make taxi drivers look like saints.

Other than the possibility of the province switching from the selection of Gardiner rebuild hybrid option 1 from hybrid option 3, I think the province taking over the Don Valley expressway and Gardiner is a winning situation. If the province tolls or doesn't toll, it would be the difference...

The Finch LRT eventually. I came to this thread because I hadn't heard anything about a zoning application for anything more than "the destination" aspects of this redevelopment. This development is moving at a snails pace. Woodbine Live, which was expected to be a retail and entertainment...

It would be nice if they extended the St.Thomas by-pass to the 401. As it is this is a pretty marginal improvement to bypass a stoplight in Talbotville.

It could be argued that at this point there are no bold plans, especially ones that use existing transit ways and railway lines. The GO Midtown Line service has been a topic of discussion since the 1980s (and obviously had passenger railway service if you go back almost a century). A bold...

I would expect an extension to Woodbine once Woodbine gets the new GO station underway. Airport extensions that actually reach the airport from Eglinton and Finch West rely on the GTAA solidifying and funding a transportation hub plan which the pandemic put on ice. With traffic restored...

So my concern with the presenting of three downtown options and one middle of nowhere option, is that the downtown options are not significantly different so in any vote the downtown votes will be diluted and T4 might look like it won. If they present another 10 downtown variations they might...

Yes, I'm surprised we haven't migrated to the red square, yellow diamond, and green circle lights to improve this.

Wonderful... 610mm is far enough between the two European standards so as not to allow something like level boarding, not aligned to the height of the TTC subway, nor VIA platforms at Ottawa or Montreal. Of all the platforms elsewhere in the world we would be compatible with Phillipines MRT...

Hopefully this deal included continuing with the Gardiner redesign to make lands available for Waterfront Toronto along the north side of Keating Channel.

I love the unintended honesty in signage. Expect delays.

Seems like a crazy set of choices. - T1 - Go to the bus terminal and have lots of connections and a short one block walk to Main and/or Water Street. - T2 - Go past the bus terminal by 400m to a used car dealership for some reason?? - T3 - Go past the bus terminal by 350m to an easy connection...

I might understand that. In a think fast situation it might be better to say stop than to say "you can't go this way" because a rapid correction could be to erroneously go the other way. I think I would probably opt for a solid red on top when all ways are red, and a red left arrow when only...

My fear is that it seems that if they do raise the platform they won't raise it to the more common 380mm, 550mm, 760mm, 1100mm, or 1250mm platform heights that would actually allow us to get off the shelf international trains sets, but instead choose some platform height that is in the middle of...

Is there any more detailed plans out for Riverside-Leslieville station? I have seen the TOD and city applications for almost all the other stations but this one for some reason seems to be behind the rest of them.
