This an an art piece I'm going to title "Which way to Eglinton?"

Metrolinx should just go ahead. I don't know why they would wait for a project that is going to take three years to hang new stop lights, take down arrows, and paint a yellow line.

Wind, rain, or shine, with those shelters your face will feel it.

... and Edmonton's LRT seems to have had no vehicle issues of note either.

Naming a person doesn't have wayfinding considerations, but wayfinding is about simple and clear communication, and people use names (people names, airport names, etc) in as shortened a name possible for simple and clear communication. The number of people who say "Lester B Pearson...

I'm going to attempt to convey the simplicity of wayfinding idea again a completely different way. Product simplicity Mary O'Neill and Peter Smith have two boys and two girls. How do we name them? Option A: - Peter-the-First O'Neill-Smith - Peter-the-Second O'Neill-Smith - Mary-the-First...

I would suggest changing it if a study group of out of towners who had never been on a subway before found it confusing. I doubt they would though because I doubt Cedarvale Avenue in East York is well known or features prominently on the TTC map. Is ending up on Cedarvale Avenue in East York...

I have never been lost myself, but I'm not stupid enough to believe the TTC has achieved wayfinding and station naming perfection with no room for improvement.

Someone tells you they live on Marlee, get off at Eglinton West, vs get off at Cedarvale. Which one could get messed up? There is only one Cedarvale, but there is an Eglinton bus, an Eglinton line, an Eglinton station, an Eglinton West street in Toronto and Mississauga, an Eglinton West...

That it is the station close to the Cedarvale neighborhood. A much smaller zone. You seem to think I believe Metrolinx can do no wrong. I just think the wayfinding standard is good.

Yes, it tells you it is along Eglinton West which is just under a 19km stretch of road that begins at Etobicoke Creek (beyond which the street is Eglinton East) to Yonge (beyond which the street is Eglinton East). With the Science Center moving perhaps the station could be named Eglinton...

The goal of wayfinding is also to minimize the noise of details that a person likely doesn't need to know at that moment as they decide whether or not to jump onto the train about to leave or not. The sign above does have what a person requires, but you need to process a lot more than required...

When the lines are not in a straight line should the cardinal directions change over the course of the line? For example at East Harbour the directions would be North and West, but at Pape be North and South despite at both being Science Centre vs Exhibition?

Certainly the urban layout of Toronto is part of the problem. In many cities streets don't run the same distance. Dundas exists across most of the GTA. Naming something Dundas (or many street names that run massive distances) in Toronto is to name something in a non-unique way.

Some people can't navigate at all. We aren't talking about flashing lights following a path to guide people to their destination... we are asking to have it clearly indicated if getting to Yorkdale is best done by going down a certain set of stairs at Union, and that is something University...

I don't think there is much I don't agree with in that video. The TTC sucks at wayfinding and definitely lives in a world where they are creating wayfinding for people who already understand the TTC. VIA is the same when they announce they are bringing back train 82 like that means something...

Didn't the province contribute funds? This is ridiculous. I can understand deadheading buses, non-transit buses, and buses that are stopping more frequently than VIVA, but for other transit buses like GO Transit... isn't the common goal to get people out of their cars? The busway is nowhere...

Something is wrong with the York shelters because all the GO buses on the route stop on the curb. I'm curious if the shelter isn't high enough or what the rationale is.

To know that would require transparency.

I think when you combine this statement with the East Harbour TOD priority and Waterfront Toronto housing priority, the language is saying the right thing in terms of Waterfront East LRT despite no specific mention. Although, clearly the province will not be spending money on streetcars and...
