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

    I took the west side of the line (west of Yonge) for the first time last night. I was impressed by the speed, but the station names throw me off. I think I prefer the open space of the interchange at Eglinton West, but the grey scale is very off putting, and depressing. The new entrances are...

    Oh I'm fully aware. I just shake my head at the whole matter. Its the right fit for Finch, but in the future, Eglinton will densify to a degree wherein a subway will be a must.

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

    I'm increasingly under the impression that this line, while fast, efficient, and to the point, really feels undersized for the job it's taking on as a midtown connector route. And will be in the future as I suspected. The train wait times remain underwhelming, which, will be fixed soon, but...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: Don Valley Station (was Science Centre Station) | 22.8m | 3s | Metrolinx | HDR

    There's the VE I was expecting. Not that the earlier renders were necessarily all that realistic I guess.

    Toronto Toronto | 75 Billy Bishop Way | 164.09m | 49s | Manulife Real Estate | BDP Quadrangle

    Oh no, the poor NIMBYs will lose out on some shops that, dare I say, are a smidge too close to the subway and highway to be saved! While I understand the retail offerings elsewhere along this stretch are quite...depressing, the market will adapt for the needs of the apartment neighbourhood...

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

    I do. I find it fine, but, again, I only travel from Mt. Pleasant to Yonge, so...my opinion on the line is rather limited. A little crowded on weekends. I'm mostly notong design issues in my posts here/places to improve, as I've only ridden this in the stretch from Yonge to Bayview.

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

    I had a fifth concern in my last post which I failed to mention as I forgot. (I guess its buried in 2 pages of arguing now) When I first took the train to Bayview station, I had no idea how to get to the north west entrance, I walked around like an oaf for a minute or so until I gave in and...
