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

    Can we all just imagine the bliss urbantoronto members would live in if this was our life. One day someone just comes up to you and mentions there’s a new subway underneath you, and you just accept it because you haven’t been scouring a 2000 page forum for 18 years.

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

    One thing I’d really like to see in new stations are faster escalators! I’m sure there’s very strict codes that limit it, but it’d be nice if the province (country?) could review them to shorten the vertical commute. Cities like Hong Kong run their MTR escalator at a noticeably faster speed...

    This isn’t an impression of Line 5, it’s an impression of some of our fellow Torontonians

    Toronto Toronto | Alias | 160.52m | 48s | Madison Group | Teeple Architects

    After two atrocious buildings I’ll never trust a Madison x Teeple project again.

    Toronto Toronto | Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    No need to exaggerate and say no one knows how to say it. You don’t know how to say it, and here’s a video that can teach you how to pronounce it and what it means!

    RapidTO: Citywide Streetcar Priority (City of Toronto, TTC)

    I agree with you based on behaviour that I’ve seen. Once the daily drivers realize the “Green Wave” happens when you drive exactly at 40km/hr they’re more likely to just go that speed rather than race towards the next red light. I don’t know if Toronto’s signal network is sophisticated enough...

    Toronto Toronto | Rushden Station | 138.1m | 39s | Fitzrovia | bKL Architecture

    I literally cannot tell if this is a compliment or dig.

    RapidTO: Citywide Streetcar Priority (City of Toronto, TTC)

    Have the circulating info contained any details on the signal phasing and the requirements for TSP to trigger? Would also be nice to know the KPIs and testing methodologies

    RapidTO: Citywide Streetcar Priority (City of Toronto, TTC)

    Will be anxiously waiting for the first driver who is so used to the original signal timing they turn straight into a streetcar!

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

    Another fun fact, the vanity height on Jeddah tower will be taller than this entire building!

    TTC: Streetcar Network

    Oh nice I had no idea that the white bar had other meanings! I had only associated it with transit/train signals like what ION uses, and my previous understanding was it just meant transit vehicles can proceed. I also believed KW had to get special permission to use them in KW, but I might've...

    TTC: Streetcar Network

    I’m sorry if this has already been discussed, I tried keyword search for this but didn’t find anything. Noticed today that Adelaide and York had some Frankenstein transit signal installed (video below). It had the vertical bar for transit… but also red, orange, and green. If this is a test...

    Toronto Toronto | The Taylor | 121m | 36s | Tricon | Diamond Schmitt

    Isn't it specifically AAA office space that's in short supply? I doubt this is considered AAA, probably just class A. These condo units are either gonna be the best in the building with extra high ceilings and huge layouts or the absolute worst with terrible noise suppression. Very curious how...
