    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I understand your points. I had actually called the Go Transit Safety line itself - not just Metrolinx customer service. And when the train passed about 10 minutes later, with people still on the tracks, it appeared to me to be going at the normal speed for this time/area, with no horns blaring...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    In light of today's news release from Metrolinx regarding rail safety, on April 28 I reported the incident below to the Go Transit safety line while it was happening. I was kept on hold briefly, and after gathering details the agent said "I'll try to get someone out there". I assumed they'd hold...

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

    I was pretty sad being forced to sell my Niagara Street condo due to divorce, as I would lose my views of the Exhibition Station and King/Bathurst Station construction sites, the nearby truss bridge, rail and streetcar lines, the CN Tower (mostly the tip), slivers of the lake and even the...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    It is only a 10 minute walk from River City to the future stop at King and Parliament Streets, and the 504 is accessible as well. Plus, there's a bus route from River City through the Canary District to Union Station.

    I remember people mentioning Cinnabon many years ago… good news: https://www.blogto.com/eat_drink/2022/02/cinnabon-coming-back-toronto-union-station/

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    I’m actually a fan of the overall plan. If built it will tunnel ~100m from my home, provide a nearby station and improve my commute. I believe the plan delivers a lot of benefits to many neighborhoods. but I had to comment on what to me was a glaring oversight and with a dose of levity intended.

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    "Now approaching Science Centre station. Do not exit at this station for The Science Centre". Seems like a calamity for families with children and disabled people who will then need to travel over 400 meters to The Science Centre, when the Flemingdon Park station is on The Science Centre...

    Toronto Toronto | Spadina Subway Extension Emergency Exits | ?m | 1s | TTC | IBI Group

    Maybe you've stated the reason stickers aren't practical... people would just pull them off, leaving a mess of inconsistent and inaccurate maps.

    Stackt Container Market (28 Bathurst St, future park)

    Council passed the motion and we have new parkland! I'm very happy for selfish reasons (my view), but also because the neighbourhood really is under intense development pressure and this is very economical, needed park space for thousands of new residents of developments already under...

    Toronto Toronto | Manulife Centre Podium and Streetscape Renewal | 9.75m | 2s | Manulife Real Estate | MdeAS Architects

    I wonder if they will spend any of this redevelopment money to fix the long standing issue of the parking lot ticket spitter dispensing painful electrical shocks to unsuspecting patrons. Management at Manulife Centre knows of this problem and blames static electricity buildup on the ramp.

    Roads: Bathurst Street Bridge

    One of these days I'd like to get a photo of a GO Train, a new streetcar on the bridge, a red truck on the Gardiner, and a Porter plane departing to the east, but for now this cameraphone shot of the bridge in its rapidly changing neighbourhood...
