apologies, but what is the six points interchange?

No apologies required! We all learn by asking.

Its the intersection of Dundas/Kipling/Bloor (3 roads, all 2-ways, six points)

The current interchange is completely grade separated.

The intent is to partially un-separate it, to create a more pedestrian-friendly area, adding sidewalks, streetscape, bike lanes etc.

What is the "North York D/T ring road". Never heard of this project before.

Doris and Beecroft I assume. They've been working on that since well before the amalgamation last century.

Beecroft is due to be extended north to Drewry when the subway gets extended right?

And wow, I never thought I'd see the city actually expand Steele in the northeast. Always seemed to be conflicts with York Region over that idea.

2020 for the Legion Rd extension? This city can burn in hell for all I care.. Unbelievable.

Same. I was under the understanding that Steeles was under some form of legal limbo in that regard.

Most of the section of Steeles between Yonge and Bathurst seems to be in limbo too. It was repaved but the four lane bottleneck is still there.
