    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Another emergency TTC meeting appears...

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    Yeah that's quite a substantial bridge - and one that could get even longer if it means bridge piers are better placed...

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    And in due course, a street redesign could help King look distinctive so that drivers don't automatically drive down it by second nature, ignoring all signs etc. NACTO has some good examples Downtown Shared Transitway, as does Melbourne on Swanston Street.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    Oh yes, it's not compliant ... but regulations can always be changed! :) It's an example of worldwide best practice - rather than the "oh how terrible, we will never be able to fix this problem that no one else has ever had" mindset common in North American transit circles.

    The very excellent Marco Chitti replies to the viral silly sign set up ...

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    Mm... not sure if it's the same in Toronto, but there's been a noticeable worsening of behaviour since the pandemic. Drivers not using or obscuring number (licence) plates, especially...

    Toronto Toronto | Concord Park Place: Block 9 | 157.75m | 46s | Concord Adex | DIALOG

    There's no way that reality will look like that render... On the positive side, glad to see more schools in tower podiums, I suppose. (Maybe a question for the master thread of Concord Park Place, if there is one) I assume Block 7 will be the final phase, given it's the sales centre for the...

    Toronto Toronto | TYSSE: Pioneer Village Station | 11.89m | 1s | TTC | aLL Design

    Sorry to bump this thread - have there been any proposals for TOD on these lands? No issue with the subway underneath as far as I can tell.

    Toronto Toronto | CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    Looks amazing! The exhibition was in central London - not at their offices unfortunately. Many architectural practices open up for Open House London (our equivalent to Doors Open, basically) so hopefully I'll get to visit one day. They had a few sketches, and a modern 3D printed mini...

    Toronto Toronto | CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    WilkinsonEyre are celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, so they had a little exhibition in London showing off their history and current projects. Snapped these shots of the CIBC Square model they've got, thought y'all might be interested - you can see the Oval cricket ground model in...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    I think the Ontario budget documents could do with a spell check 😅

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: Moss Park Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    Ah, I found the example I was thinking of

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

    A station like Moss Park will be built using a station box technique, whereas other stations Osgoode will be mined.

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT: Eglinton Station | ?m | 1s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I wish I'd put a bet on a 2025 opening date in 2020...
