    Roncesvalles Reconstruction

    Most people take the street car to dundas west station not howard park. It's 2km from queen to bloor. I've walked it many times it takes about 25 mins and I'm a fairly fast walker. That's my whole point. Roncesvalles does get very busy during rush hour! It is a major street! Can you...

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    Maybe because people are pissed off at the status-quo of city construction projects being delayed EVERYTIME.

    Umm its a 2 Km stretch. How do you figure it doesnt take 10-12 minutes in a street car? Maybe at 1:00am its a shorter time but I'm talking about peak times. You can walk 2km in 15 mins? considering that is about double the human walking speed. Damn your a fast walker! If 10% loss is...

    Roncesvalles Reconstruction

    The Roncesvalles BIA is mickey mouse. Look at their website it looks like it was designed in 1996 on notepad.exe by a grade 9 student. Every business owner I've talked to (some I know personally) tell me that weren't really involved at all in this construction. They also hate the bumpouts...

    Roncesvalles Reconstruction

    A 10% reduction in parking is no big deal? Tell that to the Roncesvalles business owners. I'm just going to assume you don't drive in the area or haven't lived there very long if you actually think anyone would consider Sorauren as a more major N-S street over Roncesvalles before the...

    Roncesvalles Reconstruction

    The bumpouts are still causing parking spots to vapour. About 20 park spots on Roncesvalles will be gone after the construction. Also now you can't pass streetcars like you normally would on any other street in Toronto (IE Queen, King, Bathurst,). Lets face it, the only time you can pass a...

    Roncesvalles Reconstruction

    If I would of known about the meeting I would of been there.. Unfortunately they don't make the meetings very well known to the public. It's so strange that the public would ask for this when literally everyone of my neighbours and Roncesvalles business owners I have talked to think the...

    Roncesvalles Reconstruction

    I live in the community and I hate it with a passion. So do all my friends who also live in the area that I've talked to about it. Nobody asked us. I'm pretty sure the store owners aren't thrilled with the removal of parking and coming added congestion to the street. I guess it just...

    Roncesvalles Reconstruction

    The Sim City reference was just to point out that our city planners can't seem to figure out basic fundamental things like simple traffic planning. These bumps-outs are totally needless, cost extra tax payers money, provide no benefit other then not having to raise your leg an extra 6 inches to...

    Roncesvalles Reconstruction

    The bump outs are so retarded. I can't believe they are actually building them. People have been gettin on street cars fine for over 100 years. Now all of a sudden they decide people need curbs to walk out on? On one street in Toronto? Cut down on parking, screw over bikers AND create more...

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    Probably next year at the speed these slackers work. Thing was supposed to be open months ago.

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    Except you're driveway wasnt pressed with hall million dollar steam rollers. You don't need for the ground to settle when you have steam rollers.

    New Streetcar windows wont open?!

    Yea I'm pretty disappointed with the new subways and streetcars. I hate how we just keep getting more and more freedoms taken away everyday.

    Toronto | 1233 Queen East | ?m | 8s

    No rail fan seat = epic fail. Just had to get that off my chest.

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    Yea I dont know why most people on these boards thinks condos should go into every square inch of space we have. It's like they think real life is like playing sim city where the highest population is your goal. I wish Toronto had more of these spaces and less condos tbh.

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    If youre referring to the strip mall at the southwest corner of queen and dufferin it is hardly derelict. Every unit is in use by a business there. I have a feeling we're not talking about the same spot though. Could you be more specific?

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    You would definately have to get rid of that other building to the left too make any use of that space other then what it is now.

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    Theres no way that area there is any where close 7000 square feet. Unless we're talking about different sides of dufferin. I'm talking about the side with the wheel chair ramp looking structure. You couldnt fit 1 medium sized suburban homes lot on that area. That area is maybe 1600 ft² tops...

    TTC: New Articulated Buses (In Delivery, Novabus)

    I don't even know why the ttc has scheduled frequency info cards at some major stops. Those schedules are way out to lunch.

    Dufferin Street: Eliminating the jog

    It would have to set a record for the smallest condo ever to fit in that square.. Every floor would have to be only 1 unit to fit there lol
