Six years? Christ, I really lost track of time there. But thank you! I saw this project scroll by on Twitter, and realized there was really only one place where I was going to get an informed opinion about it, so here I am. (Plus, not long ago I had my first opportunity in many moons to spend...

There is a lot to like here, especially the inset red-brick arches, which recall a certain Esplanade splendour of the 80s. As ever though I find the stuffing and mounting of heritage facades to be distasteful. Have the courage to knock them down, or ship them off to the Facade District where...

A showroom full of ridiculous cars is kind of the opposite of gravitas, isn't it?

Forgive me if I asked this before, but is anything going to happen to the nasty, nasty Via concourse?

Typically, Critique, a critique involves elements of critique. As opposed to, say, "I don't like it."

This thing is less out-and-out bizarre than it was in its original incarnation, but now it's just... incoherent and weird. What's going on with the stepped tower? What is that? A ship's funnel? There is something hellish about the scale of these things, couples with their isolation from the...

Wait, what? I'm right here.

I was amazed at how solidly it was built, for a temporary stairway - rebar and everything. It made me wonder if it was really permanent or not. (Assuming we're talking about the same stairs - from the subway station into the old GO concourse.)

So... do we know when this thing is launching?

Stick around for a bit, pstogios, and you'll get a sense of why he's worth listening to.

I could be entirely wrong about this, but in addition from the Y/B-complex that runs from Yonge Station to Bay Station, there's a connection to the exit at the west end of Bay Station - you can only access it by paying a fare and walking the platform. Still, I *think* some buildings on the north...

It would be fun to take WislaHD's base map and use it to create a full catalogue of the semi-disjointed PATH networks in the core. (Not just Yonge/Bloor, but the ones hanging off Bay, too.) Do I read Wikipedia correctly that the PATH is only 3 km shy of overtaking Montreal's RESO as the largest...

I have no idea what ROBLOX is, but that's really cool!

Anecdotally, I fly Porter at least twice a month to places as different as New York City and Sault Ste. Marie. Been a while since I've been on one that wasn't packed full.

You know what a great accessory for a new streetcar barn would be? Streetcars.

I hate to agree, but I agree. Once you're beneath the new roof, it seems so... diminutive. Almost constrained.

The conversations I've had with guys at the carhouse during open houses, etc, suggest that the CLRVs and ALRVs are almost completely unloved by drivers, at least, and possibly the maintenance folks. Does that hold true to your experience?

It was what we call filler, Dan, to give an example so that smart people like yourself could fill it in. Though I'm increasingly certain about that existential hell. Still, thanks for the correct info. It would be great so see this list updated as things progress!

An idea: Since we are such an observant lot here, it would be fun to have a sticky, perhaps, that keeps track of new streetcar deliveries, and car numbers. Something like - 4400 - IN SERVICE 4401 - Being modified in Thunder Bay ... 4405 - On test runs ... 4407 - Trapped in an existential hell...

Oh, yes! I missed that. Hello Fiendish! Good to see some old farts around.
