I know we're on the edge of cycling infra focus here, but I wanted to share this one larger sized full map (that @TwoWheelPoli shared above) but actually readable if you open it full sized. edit: welp apparently UT autodownsizes the file, but you can see the full sized version here.

based on pics I took yesterday (Friday, April 24) of the eastern gated off entrance, and of the morass of development happening on the west side, I would agree the western side is a LONG ways away. Maybe they have something planned to skirt along the south edge to connect the trail, but it won't...

What do you do on Adelaide where the issue is left hooks through the left side bike lane? Pass on the right? It's not that easy with the barriers in place on Adelaide. Most of the intersections have separate left turn and bike signals, but not all!

That seems quite unlikely to me. The stations are cavernous and it would take thousands of people's steamy breath to make that a difference. Also, they knew they would have passengers.

They have had most of these stations mostly finished for how many years? At least 3? And there was nothing done proactively or retroactively about fixing these issues before the line opened...

I enjoy riding on Unwin, and have for many years as a faster way to zoom across than the meandering leisure trail. No reason why it shouldn't be improved for all users.

I don't believe the Marlee-Glencairn project, which is a decades long cross-cutting plan involving zoning and increasing density will impact the near term plans to extend the York Beltline, though I don't have any insider info. The current issue with the Beltline plan is the housing project...

And who would that be . . . ? Honest question as it's never clear to me with this Line 5 PPP situation.

Yes, thank you.

I was coming from the Spit, as mentioned, so basically from the bridge / Marina road. There were numerous cars on the road, kicking up mud and dust so I don't think anyone notices or cares about the signs. I guess it's something!

I wanted to showcase the bike gutters, I mentioned that were installed on the stairs to the recently rebuilt Glen Road pedestrian bridge across Rosedale Valley Road. As you can see here, they are post-market gutters that are affixed to the stairs with a big enough buffer from the railing that a...

There is some problem with the next train signs, recently in both directions on the Eglinton West underground portion, station signs were showing "train arriving now" with no train anywhere in site for at least 5 minutes. Likewise when our train arrived at subsequent stations, platform signs...

Just an *update* on the Forest Hill Line 5 station south entrance, three weeks since my last post. They moved some plywood. Still no signs of it opening though.

Wait, does this mean they closed Unwin? I just rode it on my bike (BAD IDEA) westbound from the Spit and I did not see any signage like this.

Two words (and sorry no pics): Unwin Avenue. How this street remains open to the public in its state of utter disrepair is wild. It's obviously been destroyed by the heavy equipment and trucks that use it constantly. It is heavily cratered, covered mostly in a layer of mud or otherwise a layer...
