TTC: Streetcar Network

[JSF-1]

Thought you guys might like this. I am doing a whole series on my channel about the Toronto Streetcar Network. It's not flashy but I hope its informative.

Also if you liked it I have a playlist of the streetcars I have covered so far.

You can't even see the overhead in that shot where the lrv is going down the grass boulevard with the trees (well, not until it gets to the intersection anyway). Wish we built right of ways like that here!

Wow. Old world narrow streets. That would never work with Toronto drivers and parkers. Interesting gauntlet-type alignments to accommodate the narrow clearances.

Yes, the Lisbon trams are quite the trip! Unfortunately, it is (or was, pre-covid) hard to actually get on a 28 (or others) as they are filled with (other) tourists. Well worth it though.

Too bad the 510 SPADINA couldn't be re-routed through Kensington Market like that.

Years ago in Budapest I recalled taking a bus through the Buda hills. The streets were so narrow we hit a parked car trying to make a turn.

The street was not much wider than one lane.. likely 1.5.

Or, we can think about ways we can encourage development so that more streets in Toronto have narrower widths, a more fine-grained grid and more retail.
