People in Scarborough don't typically use GO. There's no culture of driving to GO stations in Scarborough. This is not Brampton. So once you're on the TTC you might as well remain in the system, unless you wanna more than double your fare. Also, most people who use transit in Scarborough are not...

Apologies, I don't think you read my response in it's entirety. North York has absorbed the majority of all expansive transit funding in the last 5 decades. Saying Scarborough kicked and screamed and got what's undeserved lacks historical context. Scarborough deserves an equal opportunity to...

I think people are offended because you're equating Scarborough to Brampton or Mississauga, alluding that Scarborough is not deserving of transit as expansive as North York. Transit ridership in Scarborough far exceeds that of Mississauga regardless of population, by a wide margin. The 116...

Looking more like a White Elephant than anything in the name of flexibility or practicality. We just got rid of our former resident White Elephant might as well make a new one. Same Line number and colour too! I wonder what unknown caveats are hiding in plain sight. I guess we should all stay tuned.

You make excellent points I also thought the same. Then I thought... Hmm, the use of standard gauge rail, and pantograph... Combined with the fact the line runs alongside GO at both the east and west sides of Downtown. Has it ever been considered that Metrolinx wants to create future provision...

This is quite the passionate conversation about racism and how communities are torn apart through city planning and gentrification. And if this conversation were to happen anywhere I understand why it would be Sheppard East. As someone who grew up in Malvern, I think the rest of the city, most...

I suspect the province wants to take Line 2 to Markham Centre. Sheppard East to Malvern Town Centre. In the very long term.

It seems like my proposal idea sparked some anger in you. A reminder that it would reduce pedestrian conflicts by 50% over today, increase traffic dispersion in the area, and add a 1km long linear park to the neighbourhood. This would not only ameliorate pedestrian experience in Midtown, but...

Wow, two people who I admire like my idea. I fleshed it out a bit with a poorly drawn map, and slides from other tunnel projects. Midtown Tunnel, Allen Road, Toronto Black: Closed portion of Allen Rd, turned into a park Red: New at grade Aterial road connecting to Eglinton at East side of...

I've always thought the Allen Expressway should enter a tunnel south of Lawrence and veer East under Line 1 with single lane exits at Bathurst St and Avenue Rd, as well as maintaining a connection to Eglinton as a roadway on the west side of Cedarvale Station. The tunnel can be 3 lanes, with one...

Are they adding a streetcar stop at or near the underpass? Or will riders have to walk from Old Weston or Keele?

This is great insight. And I do feel the same to a certain extent. Tbh, when I think of the Ontario line I actually think of 2 separate lines south of Bloor. A Dundas-College (OL 2) line, that veers south towards Roncessvalles and Park Lawn in the west, and east along Gerrard towards Little...

I have to admit, on a forum called URBAN Toronto, I would have expected more suggestions of lines that would serve... Urban Toronto. It just seems so unexpected to see so many suggestions including places like Sherway, Queensway, 427... And transit lines along highways, through industrial areas...

You hit the nail on the mf head right here. Such a strange last few years we've had in terms of transit expansion. The Liberals were trying so hard to seem fiscally conservative they ended up shooting themselves in the foot. The final nail in the coffin was selling stake in HydroOne, which was...

Hmmm.. this article from 2018 claims otherwise. I suppose it was removed at some point. https://www.toronto.com/news/davenport-diamond-overpass-plans-coming-together/article_31398244-c393-5e3a-ab36-5af6d0696679.html

Lol, wasn't there supposed to be a pedestrian/cycling bridge over Davenport Rd into Earlscourt Park?

Meh, we could easily have had a station near this location on the Barrie GO line... Instead we're getting one at Lansdowne and Bloor... An area already served by RT, now to be served with a piss poor interchange station.

Niftz is making excellent points. For some reason there's a pattern in Ontario of Liberals coming up with ingenious ideas and the Conservatives actually seeing them through. Some of the plans that were being pursued by the previous Liberal gov't were nonsensical. The one stop Scarborough...

From up close they're atrocious, but from far away they're -- not bad?

The 512 St Clair currently is completely unreliable. Waiting 15+ mins for a streetcar (absurd) is a regular occurrence. Also seems like the streetcars are driving very slowly maybe TTC is sending novice streetcar drivers to the route as well?. I think you may be right about supervisors being...
