    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    You had a great op who was operating streetcars like the good old days, before the TTC instituted a whole bunch of their idiotic rules. The operating practice today is that streetcar drivers are required to slow down at signalized intersections before proceeding. I myself have experienced a...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    It's so unfortunate to hear the TTC's consistent fear of signalized intersections, I really dont understand what's wrong with management. Their logic makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and here's a prime example: -Restricting (the longer) 2 car LRVs to 25km/h at signalized intersections...

    TTC Cartography, Signage, and Wayfinding

    The TTC has not adopted this. Since the Scarborough subway extension is a Metrolinx project, that's why we're seeing this. But you raise a good question, because unless the TTC plans on adopting Metrolinx wayfinding standards, we'll end up with 2 competing wayfinding standards for the same...

    Hamilton Toronto | Hamilton Line B LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    The Eglinton East LRT is a City of Toronto project, Metrolinx is not involved in it. Unfortunately at this point, the only revisions Metrolinx would make to the Hamilton LRT at this point would be those that adversely affect it (ie: cheapening the scope). That 403 bridge should be built, but...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: Queen Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    The TTC is not even half- interested in running the bustituted 503, let alone the 502. They dont have enough streetcar ops do it. But nevertheless I digress.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Nice in theory, but i'd love to see nothing is going to change unfortunately. The court systems are already overburdened, they wont have the time to deal with any charges like this and charges would ultimately just get stayed and expire. Until the province gets serious about addressing the...

    Toronto Toronto | 150 Queens Wharf | 140.93m | 37s | TCHC | Karakusevic Carson Architects

    It can be argued that another form of a wasteland has been built by Concord all across what's known as CityPlace today. But nevertheless, *if* built as currently proposed, this would be a shining beacon of sorts in that area.

    Toronto Toronto | The Stella | 98.5m | 30s | Tricon | Henriquez Partners

    Ah those bargain bin trash builds, dont even remind me.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    There is no Crosstown West order, Metrolinx has not procured anything for that extension yet.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Hmm i'm just going to leave this here; trains not stopping at Davisville for almost 2 hours on Wednesday during the mid-day, while Doug was giving himself a pat on the back over at the same station at approximately the same time? Coincidence, or did it just so happen to be 2 wildly different...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Again as i've mentioned, in this particular incident during the mid day, it was a mechanical issue with an LRV. The TTC's email and number is available for those that want to cross-examine.

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    The thing is, neither Metrolinx nor the Provincial government has learned anything from the failures of Eglinton and Finch West because if they did they would've been rectifying the mess that is Hurontario. But every time we hear news about Hurontario, it just keeps spiralling and gets even...

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Unfortunately, nope. Metrolinx would just double down. If we all thought Finch West and Eglinton were bad, Hurontario is literally the little baby of both of the aforementioned lines. It's already evident that this line is a mess from a construction perspective, and it will be just a bad as a...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    You're inclined to believe it wasn't vehicle related because they only shut down a section of the line, huh? You can believe whatever you want, the bottom line is that the shutdown today was due to a mechanical issue with a vehicle. Feel free to call the TTC if you need further confirmation...

    Toronto Toronto | The Stella | 98.5m | 30s | Tricon | Henriquez Partners

    I'm nominating this for best looking and best executed high-rise building in Etobicoke. This is absolutely outstanding.
