    Toronto Toronto | Ookwemin Minising | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    If they don't start building transit now, no chance it'll be there before occupation. We all know how much time does it take, even if it's above surface. I'm not talking about serious Union station reconstruction to accommodate this line, which I hope will happen. So we need the transit now.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    This is the time we really and truly get together, I'll take time off from work and will physically block any kind of removing bike lane constructions. This is going backwards, the level of incompetency is unbelievable. Every expect/urban planner on earth would say this is completely wrong and...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    I bike on Bloor all the time and sometimes I feel like there're more cyclists than cars. This video is not the best example, this is off peak hours. But still:

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    New bike lane on University Ave south of College is almost perfect in my opinion: It's a great balance between cars and cyclist. Drivers still have 2 lanes and parking along the road. Cyclist get a super wide bike lane with nice green separation from cars. Concrete barriers are also wide...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Want to bring this up again. Etobicoke MPP wants to remove bike lanes from bloor: https://christinehogarthmpp.ca/listen-to-residents-remove-bike-lanes-on-bloor-street/ This is insane, we need to educate her and residents. More lanes for cars will never solve traffic! I gave her my feedback...

    General railway discussions

    True story, no environment impact assessment, nobody cares if some houses need to be destroyed on the way and so on... I'm super excited about Ontario Lane, GO expansion and other projects. But building a rail network that is only 40km/h faster compare to what we have now and calling it the...

    General railway discussions

    Moscow - Saint Petersburg has HSR since 2009, it takes 4 hours as of today, the speed is not higher than 200km/h usually with some short sections going 230-250 km/h. Sounds good to me, but not good enough apparently. Not sure exactly what are they doing in terms of tracks. But definitely getting...

    General railway discussions

    An interesting fact. Russia - country with the most sanctions in the world, the country is in active war and very little possibilities of importing technologies. Guess what? They are building high speed rail between Moscow and Saint-Petersburg, 679 km will take 2 hours 19 minutes with locally...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    The bike path was planned behind a new development on King and Douro - https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/1071-king-west.40226 In my understanding bike lanes supposed to be behind the building (first rendering) and connect to the railpath directly. But it looks like this building is not...

    I certainly will. That's great, thank you in advance.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Biked all over the city the other day and want to share some of my thoughts. Adelaide St West - as you remember the bike lane was on the south side of the road, not protected, terrible asphalt quality and not safe to ride. Now they resurfaced the road, moved the bike lane to the north side...

    VIA Rail

    My bad, I supposed to arrive at 11:33pm, not 10:30pm, train 669. So it took an hour and a half to detour. Apparently all trains last weekend were affected - https://www.viarail.ca/en/plan/train-schedules: TRAVEL ADVISORY Important Notice Due to maintenance work by the railway infrastructure...

    VIA Rail

    Due to railway infrastructure maintenance by the infrastructure owner, our operations will be affected on August 12 and 13, 2023. For this reason, your train is expected to incur a significant delay upon arrival in Toronto. That was the reason given. We ended up going to Markham area, stopped...
