Tunneling under the don river would've taken ages and the costs far too high. Bridging it makes the most sense. As for the station entrances/exits, they could be put where it makes absolute sense. Depending how it's done, you wouldn't need very long walkways (in excess of 100-200 meters) to the...

Can you prove that he "doesn't walk in his ward"? Seems you are one of the people who dislike his great purposals, in which I also support.

I contributed to the PWIC with an e-mail. If cycle tracks are put in on yonge street and things are overhauled (to make it a vibrant, safer street), at the expense of two traffic lanes, yes, things will really improve. Despite what people are opposing. Then again, you can't make people not drive...

Interesting, isn't there a way to use traffic-calming measures in that area once off the highway?

Delays delays delays... I'm hoping the design part one gets accepted, yonge definitely needs a HUGE rework from south of sheppard right to steeles even. We just gotta get that funding, pronto. Cycling, walking, public transit. Yes, every major arterial road needs it. We can't assume all people...

Whyweprotest.net recently switched to xenforo in 2013, and it's been excellent ever since. Just allot of bugs to fix, however. I'm glad this forum doesn't use a mismatched security certificate (if viewed with https, if it's available), or I wouldn't be able to login or visit the site on older...

Replying late, but why four lanes? Is it because of traffic? I know St. Clair has one lane until the old railway track part merged into the sidewalk that was ripped out for sewer overhauling, I'm thinking they should include bike lanes because there are a high number of cyclists, including me...

There must be a stairway on each side of the (current) platforms that leads to the defunct ones above.

This leads to more discussions. Possible they were used? (Sorry to try and inflate a flat tire/thread or to revive a dead sewer rat that's been electrified by the third rail, I needed to answer the question with a reply.)

Reinstating of the vitrolite tiling (now hard can it be to make vitrolite? Melt glass, paint the back of it, lay it on thin concrete, plastic or metal, I donno lol) would make the classic stations look even better. In fact, if the entire network were to also use them, then there would be...

BRT should be only one thing that does not pollute the streets: Trolley Buses. LRT can cover the rest. Lastly, diesel transit can cover the outskirts of the city.

Seeing as i'm a cyclist, I have a suggestion for an idea that could beat hills (for those who absolutely dislike hauling up them), why not construct bridges to provide a smooth rideway to avoid having to go up the hill, just riding straight on until the other side as if it was a standard even...

As a notice I spotted when taking the streetcar to keele from st clair west station, it said the ROW's completion will be in late July. I could be wrong, but as to when the TTC will be even letting LRT service go all the way to Gunns Loop, when it's finally finished, is unknown. I'll check back...

Bumping this because I managed to snap some good/blurry photos, night shot mode, from the platforms, of the north cavern, at St. Clair West. Too bad, since I was hoping to get a shot from the subway, front cab door open that is. But that isn't allowed. If somebody could get some shots from the...

Anything for a possible (no LRT on St Clair Ave W. or Subway service directly underneath existing LRT) St. Clair subway? Can't mod maps, but if anybody could point out a possible straight route as west as Jane to a bit past Yonge (Beyond St. Clair station)?

What explains the large caverns (domes like keele station's roof). At either entrance by trains at St. Clair West station? It's the right height (as viewed from a delayed subway) for two levels like St. George, Lower Bay. That is what sparks my curiousity. I don't remember seeing those...

I never have, never would go to track level or in any tunnels to get a video or photograph. Why would I even want to be that daring.

Oh, almost forgot, there's some tunnels to nowhere south and north of St. Clair West station, give or take 500. You'll have to look very hard. I didn't have an easy task finding them as both are not lighted. I will bring back recon photos of St. Clair West station, noting the caverns to the...

I should do some recon and bring back some video/still footage. I did manage to film straight from downsview to finch last month. So maybe a finch to downsview shall be a wise decision. Problem, TTC staff might complain big time if I was to get caught again. A year prior, I did Kipling to...

I never got photos during the rebuilding of the St. Clair West streetcar ROV, while on a GM, (you know how tall those buses floors are), I saw tunnels below the tracks, about 6-12 ft deep. to be exact. That was quite a long stretch. That was between keele and east of Lansdowne. I didn't get any...
