Ah, this makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

I’m not sure if I understand the point he is trying to make here.

I wonder if any provisions will be made for the once planned Bremner streetcar. Or maybe that ship has sailed already.

Ah, I remember very dismissive statements out of the Miller camp regarding the DRL. I specifically remember that Miller made a point to say that the new streetcars were the capacity equivalent of a new subway line downtown. Miller made it abundantly clear a new subway downtown wasn't his...

The more I think about it, the more I seem to agree. IMHO, Sheppard should dip south of the 401 for a connection to Scarborough Centre on Line 2. I thought a connection at Sheppard and McCowan would suffice but the more I think about it I find the contrary to be true. Firstly, because of...

I think a station here on yer Barrie line might be more desirable than people think. Connecting Woodbridge with Corso Italia. Surely a popular stop in the festival season. But I get the vibe the city would have to pick up the tab.

Would be a good location for a station, I just hope they don't have to knock my house down to do it. Eek.

It was initially part of the Davenport diamond project but was shelved early on, then the station at Bloor was also delayed/shelved. Metrolinx then moved Earlscourt Station to their 2035 plan.

People in Scarborough don't typically use GO. There's no culture of driving to GO stations in Scarborough. This is not Brampton. So once you're on the TTC you might as well remain in the system, unless you wanna more than double your fare. Also, most people who use transit in Scarborough are not...

Apologies, I don't think you read my response in it's entirety. North York has absorbed the majority of all expansive transit funding in the last 5 decades. Saying Scarborough kicked and screamed and got what's undeserved lacks historical context. Scarborough deserves an equal opportunity to...

I think people are offended because you're equating Scarborough to Brampton or Mississauga, alluding that Scarborough is not deserving of transit as expansive as North York. Transit ridership in Scarborough far exceeds that of Mississauga regardless of population, by a wide margin. The 116...

Looking more like a White Elephant than anything in the name of flexibility or practicality. We just got rid of our former resident White Elephant might as well make a new one. Same Line number and colour too! I wonder what unknown caveats are hiding in plain sight. I guess we should all stay tuned.

You make excellent points I also thought the same. Then I thought... Hmm, the use of standard gauge rail, and pantograph... Combined with the fact the line runs alongside GO at both the east and west sides of Downtown. Has it ever been considered that Metrolinx wants to create future provision...

This is quite the passionate conversation about racism and how communities are torn apart through city planning and gentrification. And if this conversation were to happen anywhere I understand why it would be Sheppard East. As someone who grew up in Malvern, I think the rest of the city, most...

I suspect the province wants to take Line 2 to Markham Centre. Sheppard East to Malvern Town Centre. In the very long term.

It seems like my proposal idea sparked some anger in you. A reminder that it would reduce pedestrian conflicts by 50% over today, increase traffic dispersion in the area, and add a 1km long linear park to the neighbourhood. This would not only ameliorate pedestrian experience in Midtown, but...

Wow, two people who I admire like my idea. I fleshed it out a bit with a poorly drawn map, and slides from other tunnel projects. Midtown Tunnel, Allen Road, Toronto Black: Closed portion of Allen Rd, turned into a park Red: New at grade Aterial road connecting to Eglinton at East side of...

I've always thought the Allen Expressway should enter a tunnel south of Lawrence and veer East under Line 1 with single lane exits at Bathurst St and Avenue Rd, as well as maintaining a connection to Eglinton as a roadway on the west side of Cedarvale Station. The tunnel can be 3 lanes, with one...

Are they adding a streetcar stop at or near the underpass? Or will riders have to walk from Old Weston or Keele?

This is great insight. And I do feel the same to a certain extent. Tbh, when I think of the Ontario line I actually think of 2 separate lines south of Bloor. A Dundas-College (OL 2) line, that veers south towards Roncessvalles and Park Lawn in the west, and east along Gerrard towards Little...
