OK this is the first I'm seeing (or noticing) of the wooden pole, and that's straight up hilarious.

Was doing a search for the old Master Plan of Pearson to find the pier layout and came across this new to me rendering, from Gensler, a global architecture firm. Not sure what is being shared here, a project they were hired for or something proposed, but I haven't seen this layout for terminals...

Read his Twitter and you'll understand. He's advocating for cancelling the Ontario Line because there is enough capacity on downtown streetcars. It's asinine. There's a progressive toxicity that permeates thoughts like this that a project not blessed by progressives is bad at any cost. The...

Sigh every time I see this thread title come up I get said again. Can we rename it 'Train Daddy Happenings' and at least it will help us look more fondly on him.

Sadly there are thousands of suburban voters that feel it is their god given right to drive downtown without traffic in 1 and 2 occupant vehicles along highways that closely trace public transit routes. And to oppose that selfishness you get called a communist.

I don't think the train manufacturer cared or knew when they designed these mock-ups, they just worked with what they had. I'm sure the final version will be a single colour. Ugh I hope.

I just realized why this thread is driving me mad. Y'all are acting like Trump Republicans. Heads buried in the sand when every other option is rejected, saying that you were right all along and being completely unwilling to change your opinion. Get on board, salvation is not that far away...

Every. Single. Suggestion. in this thread as an alternative to protect these 5 trees isn't feasible for any number of reasons. It really is wild to see this community lose it's shit over these trees. Yes I know it isn't about the trees. Metrolinx sucks. Agreed. Anything related to Doug...

You're welcome! Because all the arguments to protect these 5 trees are asinine. It really is easy.

Transit > Trees. It's really easy folks.

I love colorful pop art but that is the laziest silliest thing to have commissioned that I could imagine. Might as well use stock photography instead of whatever they paid for that. Jeez.

I imagine the transport will look something like this:

Just here to express my support for the retention of this critical land as farmland to feed Ontario (and all of Canada). For anyone else interested in voicing their support for the protection of farmland: https://landoverlandings.com/

Just posted to reddit, an update on the MSF (by user u/TorontoMon22)

I drove by the site last weekend and they're paving a massive surface level parking lot, including high-mast lighting. They're also constructing the new mall entrance rendered beside the library. But considering the rendering includes a large underground garage, it doesn't look like any...

Interesting that the Sobeys is closed down, almost a year now, but it's on the far NW portion of the site, not in the Phase I listed here. Keeping my eyes peeled for a full site plan.

Just an FYI, rode UPX yesterday and they're handing out free ride vouchers that expire in 1 year. Nice way to immediately share the fare reduction with riders.

Keesmaat just tweeted this as well: https://twitter.com/jen_keesmaat/status/692048678509477888 "The good news for Relief Line advocates is that we are bringing a rec for a preferred corridor within weeks."

Honest question: Can the TTC run CLRVs that are hitched together? Could they not run these right now on Spadina? It would save on operator costs.

Is this line not supposed to run into the port lands? Why is there no switch/rail running south from this point?
