Presumably if we're looking 25 years out, the cars will need to be replaced. The TTC could always get Line 1-style cars instead of 2 or 3 cars stretched out, which would increase capacity. Plus running more trains. If we're talking about overcapacity in 30 years, STC will be largely built out as...

Surprisingly big for the area - I mean it definitely fits, I'm just surprised it got approved without pushback.

Line 4 actually does go that far compared to Line 2. Don Mills is just about at Woodbine. It looked normal until Line 5 was included, then the scale got thrown off

I think technically they could go back if the league went that way - but I suspect permanent changes will be made to remove the TFC seats, and then shift the field slightly so that there is a 10 yards fan zone-type atmosphere for both teams

After doubling back, it would appear that my fellow Fifth Columnists and I horribly mis-read T3Gs data. The fact that the average trip time on the bus is like 35 minutes makes this whole debacle so, so much sadder

yes with zero traffic, but a few pages back someone showed data over a 24 hour period whereby the average bus took 51 minutes.

So that would get one part of the journey down to roughly 37 minutes - let's hope that the journey out to Humber can save even more

At the risk of asking a question that's already been answered, do we have a sense of when 15-minute all-day will return on LSE and LSW? The recent Metrolinx document suggests it's short-term, but I can't tell if that's 12-months, or 5 years

The Allen is 6 lanes - the 401 is 16. Plus longer on/off ramps, etc.

Not sure if this means anything, but I spent an hour on the golden mile yesterday. Didn't see a single train in either direction. Could mean there's very little training to do, and they're getting close

This one in particular looks interesting. Seems that they're creating essentially a small apartment building of 6 units between the two existing semi-detached units, plus two 2-level garden suites. It looks like the recent rule clarifying that you can turn adjacent semi-detached units into...

What would be required to update Line 6 to have proper LRT priority at traffic lights?

That first one seems to be massive and way more than 4 units. if so, it's awesome. Any idea of how many? Still should fit well into the neighbourhood even with the higher unit count

No, but the argument of 'the railway corporations should just suck it up' hasn't really worked that well in the past, as there are many negative trickle-down impacts

Infinitely greater chance of popularity and success playing at Lamport than up at York

Given the very high likelihood that this will be next to an interchange station when the Ontario Line inevitably gets extended north - completely agree. Way more attention needs to be paid to how this meets the street. I don't mind the tower architecture/colours, if they happen,, but that's a...

Great summary, thanks for that. The part that jumped out to me as well was the school plan. They're suggesting that there could be enough students for three MORE high schools in this area? And this is with Earl Haig nearby already being one of the largest in the city.

Do they have enough trains to ramp up service to every 5 - 7 off-peak if they wanted to/had budget?

True. My normal seats are on the West side, so I usually just look at Budweiser and marvel how cool it is there are so many things going on in the city at once... But that view won't include the soon-to-be-parking garage

I saw the Canada-Jamaica world cup qualifying game like 3 years ago - sat in the upper East stands, way towards the south side. Wind blowing off the lake. Agreed that it can get absurdly cold. At the same time, the fact that you can see directly south is part of the appeal of the stadium, so I'm...
