OK! Thanks. My one quibble here, even though I am all about adding more seating and rest stops along Toronto's park trails is that calling them "stations" risks some confusion with actual transit stops. Like Forest Hill Station, already exists not too far from here at Bathurst and Eglinton. In...

I'm sure this has been debated since the flexity streetcars came on board in 20XX but the four-seat cluster arrangements baffle me – and they have been replicated almost exactly on the new LRT lines. When both seats are occupied on one side, it's incredibly cramped and uncomfortable to sit...

I don't follow! "Lost Stations?" I recall seeing a few of signs on the western side of of the trail (York Beltline) that have some info about the former railway stops. They are pretty weathered, so are they redoing those? Adding more? And... why?

Also seen on Eglinton West Bikeway, west of Scarlett Road. What a shambles.

not just on the MGT. The first photo here is from Eglinton West separated bikeway, west of Scarlett road. These things were really poorly thought out and installed, though I assume you're right that plows are what dislodged them. I reported to 311. We shall see what they do. The MGT ones are...

Readability is great, but they switch on and off between English and French and other messages. There are times when I look up 5 different times and don't see any train time info but instead some messaging about staying back from the tracks. Over and over again. I think they switch to "train...

This is obviously subjective, and text can be meaningful, however it also relies on people speaking and reading English (or sometimes a few other languages). While I already expressed not loving that type of artwork I think a strong case can be made for more visual work (abstract or not) that...

Is this a permanent art installation? I gotta say this seems on trend with a few other works in the transit system that make a lot of use of text. Not my personal favourite style of art. It's more like poetry, though it has a visual impact, it makes you stop and read but doesn't provide the kind...

spoiler alert: those bins will not thwart a damn thing. Good design does not preclude safety measures, even though if you look into the history of it, no bins were ever used for a subway bombing. They got removed or made transparent after the Tokyo Sarin gas attack or the London tube bombings...

Those bins are pathetic. Tiny and exposed, and the minute they have anything in them they start to flop over onto the floor. How Metrolinx thought this was better than the TTC super simple, circular bins, with larger rims that actually keep the bags out of the way is beyond me. I get there is a...

It's Rafie right? I saw he took over a few months back. At least he was a name that had been associated with the project prior so he's not like a noob in the space. But yes, it's been well over a decade of studies, failed tenders, delays and shlemazels to get to this point.

What's the new tenant going to be? Looks like a Dollarama based on that colour scheme. If so, will that be the first in-station dollar store in Toronto transit history?

When I noticed this I assumed they have some aversion to posting actual incoming train times that far from the platforms, for the risk of encouraging people to rush down stairs or escalators to try to make a train. I know this seems absurd, but I can imagine it in our overly cautious approach in...

Thanks. I've gone over the original post I replied to and the photo a few times, and I think the OP was looking at something on the far (west) side of the rail tracks in the belief it was a parallel ramp structure. In actuality, I think it's just the existing old paths that extend north west...

Yes I know! but the post was about a parallel ramp, which I took that as being on the west side of the railway corridor, but probably misunderstood. So it's just the one big ramp down to the LDT, as I thought? I didn't think they were changing the existing bridge, but just adding the ramp and...
