    Toronto Toronto | Bloor-Lansdowne GO Station | 6.77m | 1s | Metrolinx | Brown + Storey

    I mean, dont you know they have to do some extremely innovative Quantum Computing and pioneer new concepts for every construction project they undertake? Completely makes sense to me why construction of stations like this can take upwards of a decade, they're bringing us things which the world...

    Toronto Toronto | 1928 McCowan Road | 161.5m | 50s | 2827431 Ontario Inc | TAES

    I'm suspecting they are using the subway extension as their rationale for the conversion (even though they may not be spelling it out as such). I'm not against it on this particular site, but the thing is if you allow for conversion here than you open the pandora's box and that will just...

    Toronto Toronto | 2180 Yonge | 247m | 65s | Oxford Properties | Hariri Pontarini

    I think most of us here would be in full agreement with that. Unfortunately based off of what we're seeing so far, as well as Oxford's other tasteless designs, they dont have any good taste in building aesthetics and design. And I think it's only a matter of time before the rest of this 2180...

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

    That's a very big claim that they're making, a smooth ride? Lol yeah right. knowing the TTC and Metrolinx, we know what we're going to be in for. If we were America, their would be lawsuits all over this claim within the first year of opening.

    TTC: Streetcar Network

    We need to protect this operator at all costs. He/She is a hero providing the quality service standard that this city yearns for, and walks us down memory lane of how ops used to drive streetcars back 15+ years ago. Yesterday I took the streetcar from Royal York & Lake Shore to 30th St and...

    TTC Cartography, Signage, and Wayfinding

    I'm sure customers were having immense challenges with identifying where they were on the Sheppard line, so the TTC wanted make it much more apparent because if not customers would get lost. There's just way too many stations on the Sheppard line to keep track of!

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Good to see the replacement work going ahead, make no mistake about that. What I will say is that Metrolinx' and the TTC's continuing lack of co-ordination for these weekend closures is seriously baffling. Yes critical repair/replacement work is needed, but the fact that the TTC decided to...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    It does not.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Well the TTC streetcar network was largely operational in the massive amounts of snow we had today. So the fact that the TTC was able to operate streetcars today while the Finch line couldnt, really shows how screwed up Mosaic is. And if Metrolinx didnt draw up in the contracts penalties for...

    Toronto Toronto | 189 Old Weston | 128m | 39s | Limen Developments | TACT

    ^Let's go further than that, the whole thing is terrible.

    Toronto Toronto | 310 Front West | 225.4m | 70s | H&R REIT | Hariri Pontarini

    Yup the government was looking for a site in very close proximity with where QP is, Front St is not that site.

    Toronto Toronto | Pinnacle One Yonge | 351.85m | 106s | Pinnacle | Hariri Pontarini

    ^Which on a side note, is a plan I hope never sees the light of day because the city is asking for big trouble with that. That would be nothing but pure chaos with traffic having to funnel around that whole area, with Harbour St being straightened out and heavy traffic volumes being forced to...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    This is actually pathetic. So the rest of the TTC streetcar network can operate (to whatever constraints) today, but yet Finch West cannot? This is actually an inexcusable, laughable joke. Yes there's a significant amount of snow today, but if this line cant operate in inclement conditions...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    A brief interruption in the discussion, to lets everyone know that they can run wild and let the TTC know how they really feel about this transit line: https://www.ttc.ca/riding-the-ttc/Updates/Line-6-survey

    Toronto Toronto | 650 Bay Street | 52.4m | 18s | Lanterra | Arcadis

    Bay St is literally architectural hell, and it's embarrassingly shameful. Lanterra is a joke for coming up with this gutter trash proposal.
