Ontario Line | ?m | ?s

Simply put because cycling doesn't work for everyone all the time.

I love cycling, but it works best when you're by yourself and don't have much to carry.

Have a young family? Probably aren't all going out on bicycles. Especially if they're so young they can't even ride bikes.

Cargo bikes can carry kids, kids can sit on the back of normal upright bikes too

Have elderly parents or dependents with health or physical limitations, probably aren't shuttling them around on bikes.

Incredibly specific, seniors can ride bikes too. Better than letting them drive cars.

Have groceries or large items? Not possible to carry on bikes and not everyone wants to shop online and have everything delivered.

Miserable weather out, rain or snowing like it is half the year here in Toronto, no fun to be riding.

I think this fits best here..........Mx is releasing a pre-qualification tender for work for the Queen Streetcar Detour project, which is a pre-requisite for construction of the central section of the Ontario Line.

It was in the TTC streetcar thread this morning - https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/ttc-streetcar-network.27667/page-104#post-1815669

.... what is needed is for mods to step in and move all the Ontario Line West posts to the appropriate thread so that this thread can be kept strictly to what is actually in progress.

We're on post #20,000 and some odd. And seven years of construction. We should hit 60,000 in this discussion by the opening....

I realize there's an election thread here: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/2022-43rd-ontario-general-election-june-2-2022.32841/page-12

But in case it's of interest this is being distributed:

Pick one.

Edit: not trying to be a dick, but the above choice is true. For the record, I support elevated in Scarborough, on Sheppard, Eglinton West and past my windows on Yonge North.

It's just so hard to vote NDP these days, even if they are the most closely aligned to my beliefs.

Partially on topic, but should this thread title be updated to "Under Construction" from "In Design"?

We've officially broken ground and started construction on this project.

I know we had a ceremony but has construction actually started? None of the major contracts have even been awarded.

How long do they want to delay this for so that they can plan this? Also, is this just him campaigning on this or is the whole party behind it?

There's been demolition at Exhibition & Cork Town as part of the 'early works'. I would consider that 'under construction'.
