Come on lol. You know that if they cost 500$ in china they will cost significantly more here.

I also like the docks. Granted Im downtown so they are everywhere; and I can see how it would be annoying if there was only 1 dock in your area and it was full/empty

I started using this a few years ago (I hadnt biked since I was a teenager). Its become one of my favorite, most convenient things about living downtown. It may sound dumb, but its one of the current reasons I couldnt imagine moving to the burbs (and Im a driver too!) Wonderful to see it...

This kind of thing with the renderings really annoys me. I know that almost all projects exaggerate, but this is excessive. For one, they plant nice trees to the south of the project--there is a delivery access alley there and there is no space. They also make the buildings look way higher...

This makes a HUGE difference. The building I bought in bans short term rentals. It makes an incredible difference. Sure, some people get through the cracks, but they make a concerted effort to not allow airbnb. There are signs up, they check the website, and the concierge monitors for it and...

Google maps still hasnt updated the new 407 extension, it takes them longer than I thought it would. Also, has anyone seen video of people driving the extension? I dont have time this week but would love to see it finished

I dont really get why streetcars on the other side of the light are a part of this anyway. How does it help? It seems to me that it would slow the streetcars down (they have to stop potentially at a red light then stop again, whereas before 1 stop was possible although not guaranteed). Also...

The talk of tolls is legit getting me worked up again. We were almost about to toll the gardiner and DVP and use the money for transit until that idiot Wynne fucked us. Imagine the projects we could fund? Imagine the precedent it would set, that transit users shouldnt be the only ones...

Youre right, I was reading the source wrong, its 2 mil for all toronto highways, 180k for dvp http://www.torontotransforms.com/how-many-people-are-in-vehicles-on-the-move-at-any-given-time-in-toronto-april-2015/

Dont get me wrong, this project will never happen. BUT, if you charged for tolling you could make money back fairly quickly. DVP has 2 million cars per day currently. Say you charged 5$/car. At 10mil$/day, thats 3.6billion/year. And thats if you charged a flat fee, I bet they would charge...

Its funny, I used to love ideas like this when I did a lot of highway driving. It becomes like a fantasy. Now that I live and (mostly) work in the core, I just see adding more highways as bringing more traffic to downtown streets. Its a matter of perspective. That being said, Im 30, I can...

Yeah I truly dont see those businesses being significantly affected. Even if people who drive are "avoiding the area" as a whole due to the project (which is the only way that the decreased purchasing could make any sense to me as I agree no one is parking right in front of a king and bay...

I dont really get this logic. How is it not a good bike thoroughfare? It's just as good as adelaide/richmond, if not better (I rode it today). Bikes are not being restricted from king, nor should they be. Like I've said earlier in this thread, I quite frankly think using part of king for...

Just like the province wont let us toll the gardiner/DVP, they wont let us do this. Theyll say its too "politically unpopular" to let us make their own decisions. Blame that moron Wynne who is a political coward.

Hey, Ive said this elsewhere but just wanted to say I basically function the same way. I bikeshare close distances/within the downtown (I have a condo in the entertainment district), and drive for further stuff/when Im lazy. There is literally never a reason for me to take transit. I like the...

I could have with proper enforcement, and some degree of barriers like severe rumble strips or changing the height of the right lane relative to the left lane. Im not against the current idea (I think its better than nothing), I think its just a wasted right lane now, and I think using the lane...

A lot of the arguments on both sides are dumb. Of course you get demerit points. You get demerit points for turning left on no left turn during rush hour signs as well. Theres nothing wrong with giving demerit points for traffic infractions lol. That being said: I would have preferred that...

I thought about this for a while. The only option i can see is: Turn eastbound instead of westbound at king. Then right at portland. Then right on either front or wellington. Then right at bathurst. Then left on king. (Or one of the smaller westbound streets before king?). I agree thats...
