I have to admit, on a forum called URBAN Toronto, I would have expected more suggestions of lines that would serve... Urban Toronto. It just seems so unexpected to see so many suggestions including places like Sherway, Queensway, 427... And transit lines along highways, through industrial areas...

You hit the nail on the mf head right here. Such a strange last few years we've had in terms of transit expansion. The Liberals were trying so hard to seem fiscally conservative they ended up shooting themselves in the foot. The final nail in the coffin was selling stake in HydroOne, which was...

Hmmm.. this article from 2018 claims otherwise. I suppose it was removed at some point. https://www.toronto.com/news/davenport-diamond-overpass-plans-coming-together/article_31398244-c393-5e3a-ab36-5af6d0696679.html

Lol, wasn't there supposed to be a pedestrian/cycling bridge over Davenport Rd into Earlscourt Park?

Meh, we could easily have had a station near this location on the Barrie GO line... Instead we're getting one at Lansdowne and Bloor... An area already served by RT, now to be served with a piss poor interchange station.

Niftz is making excellent points. For some reason there's a pattern in Ontario of Liberals coming up with ingenious ideas and the Conservatives actually seeing them through. Some of the plans that were being pursued by the previous Liberal gov't were nonsensical. The one stop Scarborough...

From up close they're atrocious, but from far away they're -- not bad?

The 512 St Clair currently is completely unreliable. Waiting 15+ mins for a streetcar (absurd) is a regular occurrence. Also seems like the streetcars are driving very slowly maybe TTC is sending novice streetcar drivers to the route as well?. I think you may be right about supervisors being...

Scarborough gets a Subway to Malvern (Sheppard East), Flemo and Thorncliffe get a Subway in the first phase of the DRL. Priority neighbourhoods won this round. I'm not upset.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before. But the buttons are indeed activated for Stop Request.

Strangely enough, for the first time ever about a week ago a 512 streetcar I was on stopped at a stop for a couple seconds before I'd realized all other passengers at other doors disembarked and that I was required to press the button to open the doors. Perhaps it was driver error, but I've...

You know what's funny, as someone who lives on St Clair I still occasionally have to remind myself to press the button. I've missed my stop due to the absent minded assumption the streetcar will stop at every stop more than I'd like to admit. This never happened to me before the ROW, so I'd have...

The first line to be electrified will likely be Barrie, because of the as mentioned before limit place on the EA for diesel trains travelling over the Davenport Diamond, and because the vendor will likely not wanna start with LSW, LSE due to those projects being more complex. And lastly and most...

So the Dufferin-Jane alignment in that scenario with current plans in mind: Exhibition (Lakeshore West GO) King-Dufferin Queen-Dufferin Dundas-Dufferin College-Dufferin Bloor-Dufferin (Line 2) Dupont-Dufferin St Clair-Dufferin Earlscourt (Barrie GO @ Caledonia-St Clair) Rogers Road...

I made this map several years ago before the Exhibition routing was chosen. Dufferin-Jane alignment for the OL West.

Ever since Elon Musk suggested they should bury highways to solve LA traffic (!?) I knew he wasn't the sharpest tool in the tool shed.

Dark Blue is the Ontario Line. Dufferin-Jane alignment.

How about they just don't put the sound barrier. Is there a new standard for sound barriers along metrolinx corridors? We have frequent at grade lines all over the city, why are they only now shoving sound barriers down our throats? I mean aren't the trains going to become increasingly quieter...

I think it's likely considering how much employment is at Yonge and Eglinton, that Allen Road is a major link considering the proximity and the vital connection to the 401. I don't think this is necessarily in conflict of the proposed uses on Eglinton, we have to remember in this scenario we're...

While generally I support the removal of highways. I'm more in favour of reconfiguring the expressway at Eglinton. Yonge and Eglinton is a major business district and I think it's smart to maintain highway access. But I think we could do this while also improving the pedestrian experience - it...
