I really hope a direct connection from the station to the hospital is built someday. I know the city and metrolinx likes to cost cut, and say that people can just walk and cross the highway instead, but a bridge would be ideal here as the hospital is directly across the station, and it would be...

Thanks, I will now make a proposal to the city and councillor for bike lanes on Ellesmere Road. Many proposals and ideas I've had were just not politically justifiable. This one I've just measured and it has the width to keep all existing lanes! Ellesmere will be restriped for bus lanes next...

Off-topic but this is an overkill amount of lanes for anyone to cross Kipling Avenue. Why??

I remember I was looking through an agenda of IEC one time and one of the agenda items was dedicated to this. It was to allow the crosstown rail right of way to have a special clause to allow train operations at 60km/h while car traffic is signed at 50km/h. I'll try to find it. Found it...

The picture is "outdated." The Lansdowne underpass was upgraded to cycle tracks with low-concrete walls in 2021.

Do you see people bringing bike share bikes on buses or on the subway? Same idea.

No, this was just an amendment to continue "exploring" the use of the hydro corridor. Staff did audits and keep arguing that there isn't enough clearway between hydro towers or backyards to fit a 3.5m multi-use trail, which is absolute nonsense. I mean we are talking about a hydro corridor...

Pretty sure that was just a diagram oversight. We aren't proposing to duplicate the current trail in Warden Woods, just connecting it to the rest of the railpath east of Warden and filling the gap between Victoria Park/Pharmacy. Also, here's a picture of what it could look like. I think a...

Sorry for the low quality:

Two cycling updates: Cycle Tracks on Danforth extended east to Victoria Park: and University Avenue Cycle Tracks extended to just south of King Street (protection imminent, don't worry)

The trail isn't officially open but the access gate at the Forks is clearly wide open with no fence or "trail closed" sign, which does make uninformed people curious to see what's up there.

The city won't even bother with the protected phases as it's usually the exception for city staff, rather than the standard. But maybe one day...

Anyone think it's weird that most sections of the central corridor as part of Eglinton TOday will be one lane in each direction, but the station fronts will have two lanes in each direction. Hopefully they can work out that inconsistency or else you'll have drivers popping in and out...

How do y'all feel about this project being spearheaded by the city rather than Metrolinx?

My main problem is that this LRT will transform connections to GO Lines at 3 different stops, but the TTC isn't emphasizing these high-quality rail service connections. Riders right now just use Line 2 to get to downtown and they will continue to do so. If we're serious about getting people...

It's probably because of the controversy surrounding removing traffic lanes. Especially Jane that stirred the local councillors.

Are you kidding me? EDIT: after reading, It actually doesn't sound terrible. It's just frustrating that Scarborough is always getting compromise, compromise, compromise. And literally no one at Metrolinx had the foresight that Line 5 was eventually going to be extended east??

It's in the 2022-2024 plan, making it happen however will require diligent collaboration with car-loving councillors, and vocal support from advocacy groups. But the clear message from the city and local cyclists is that the corridor is begging to be extended, and talking to city staff, they're...

It's arguably the ideal type of separation for the route, and how narrow the street is. It's kind of a feat that the entire route is physically protected with curbs for what is a collector/neighbourhood road. Other cities or even Toronto just a few years ago would've just put sharrows and called...
