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...

Why do I feel like Roadrunner would be able to get to the subway station but the Coyote (and the rest of us) would get injured? (PS: Wayfinding standard says subway icon, not TTC logo :) )

How can it not be possible on the Yonge North extension at this point? The tunnel contract hasn't been signed yet has it? Until the TBM passes where a station might be, or is on a trajectory with too high a slope where a station might be, it seems to me putting in a wall for the TBM to pass...

How is Metrolinx pissing away money by telling a contractor to fix their stuff or they don't get paid what was agreed to?

So you also see these routes as no more important to a bus? Yes, they have replacement buses when the subway is shut down too. The point is that it we don't give priority to the streetcar or during construction don't seek ways to keep the streetcar running, we shouldn't get streetcars.

I never noticed that bump out on the Gardiner at exhibition before. Was there originally a bus stop and stairs here? I wonder why this exists here and only here.

The rule no longer exists and many interstates and tollways now connect, but Breezewood remains unavoidable because the economic interests of the community prevent changes that would improve the journey for many. Sault Ste Marie is the reason a better route does not exist.

The inspiration was actually Europe where in France and the UK blue signs denote the most important routes, green the next level down, and white the local routes and destinations. The freeway symbol used in the sign is the international symbol not seen in the US, and the red crown was...

The only reason it isn't the primary route traffic takes is because it hasn't been upgraded to provincial standards and designated a highway. It has been something many politicians and agencies have asked for but obviously if more traffic takes that route because it is more desirable, less...

The other numbering assignment toyed with was numbering based on importance to the network (population served) with 1 being the TCH, but while that is a fairly common practice and has far greater symbolism, it is not as important from a route guidance perspective.

No, the numbering isn't attached to the Quebec system, they were using two digit Autoroute numbers on freeways that barely cross a metro area (the numbers should be reserved for long distances between communities) and there would be no numbers left for the rest of Canada arranged from 1 on the...

Not random. Taking a system that hasn't evolved and has become useless in terms of providing guidance and creating routes that have purpose. More and more there are highways that end in the middle of nowhere because ownership changed, or that were at one time the fastest/shortest route...
