Wish they had made a bigger deal of it! I would have liked to visit the original Harvey's before they demolished it. Too late...

Fantasy-land here, maybe, but how amazing would that be. The tunnel would become an attraction on its own right.

Brt I am a bit surprised that this report did not compare BRT against LRT and subways. How would BRT have fared under the report's points system?

Oh, kkgg7. How many people can possibly be from the middle of nowhere? I mean, it's the middle of nowhere! You're not making any sense. Kipling to Kennedy is 23.1 km. Square One to Kennedy is 34.3 km. Union to Finch is 15.1 km. Union to RHC is 22 km. Extending the Yonge line to...

+1. Just as the problem with the Yonge line being crowded isn't the Yonge line being crowded, but of the paralysis whereby there is nothing to offload. A shiny DRL dug underground to such important downtown nodes as Don Mills and Eglinton? Um, sure, but meanwhile the GO lines continue to ply...

Yes. Those who are moving into those condos, townhouses, and semis do, though. For those who aren't planning moats along the City of Toronto boundaries, it's not really about the name of the municipality, but the name of the neighbourhood, who they know who lives there, what they are close to...

Do people really think that? As a surburbanite, I agree with distance-based-fares completely. It aligns incentives with costs. If you want to take the subway train all the way up to North York Centre, you should pay more than you would for just a quick jaunt a kilometre away. Now you're...

Horrible (re double fare). With lots of foot traffic around there, though, I'd think this would be a great place for cafes, some restaurants, maybe a Goodlife or something, etc. Maybe -- having no idea of the layout, but still -- adjacent to the area in between the subway and the commuter...

Is there a 433 Front W thread?

That's not going to happen anytime soon imho, although it would be nice. What we do need to do is the GO/TTC integration (all-day, station realignment, fare-by-distance) described by others. That will help offload the Yonge line at least somewhat, by diverting commuters in the middle/eastern...

False dichotomy. Three-storeys and semi-detached should be allowed everywhere within 2 km or so of Yonge and of Sheppard East in North York, which -- between what will be a condo forest on Yonge from 401 to Steeles, and the stubway route -- is basically the downtown North York corridor...

Live in a new condo community with indoor connection to one of Toronto's largest malls, immediately on top of a subway station, and with 2-minute car access to both the 401 and the Allen? It wouldn't be for everyone, but there's certainly a market for that -- compare to some of the condos going...

Sounds like you've simply landed on the wrong criterion, as lots of the 416 has much worse congestion, much longer commutes, and much worse transit than parts of the 905. Sounds like what you really mean is that maybe people who live further away from their jobs should, or might, get tired of...

I don't see why. Something I have always wondered about. Has anyone ever heard of plans to retro-fit residential into the Yorkville footprint, something like what was done with all of the condo buildings that now ring the Promenade mall at Bathurst-Centre?

Obviously they have opinions about things. And obviously perfectly unbiased reporting can't exist, any more than a ball can be perfectly round. Yet we end up with pretty round balls and pretty fair journalism some of the time. The latter from journalists who understand that their job is...

You know, some people think there might be something to this BRIC thing... Latin America's population is far larger than the United States', its economy is growing far more quickly than the United States, and it sends a lot less of its tourists to Canada than the United States. If you think...

This. Or connects with Sheppard. And this. And this. Sometimes I wonder if a few simple maps, showing what this could look like, wouldn't wake people up to the missed opportunity here.

You augment the lines you already have. Not sure what the Sheppard line has to do with any of this. Nor do I understand how including, in a DRL, a subway segment from Sheppard down to, say, Eglinton or St. Clair makes much sense. That's a lot of building without much return. Finding...

I don't really understand how a subway segment from Sheppard down to, say, Eglinton or St. Clair makes much sense. Finding a way to increase capacity and service on the RH line would be a far less expensive means to accomplishing this.

I would like to see a very simple fare system (enabled by smart payment systems as are being implemented) -- fare by distance. You are charged a flat rate per tenth of kilometre, according to the distance between entrance and exit points. No zones, no time-based rules, no type-of-vehicle...
