Does anyone know why the bike lane got painted? Also, what does striped red paint mean vs solid red paint?

hmmm what about using these completely unheard of ideas like redevelopment and infill development, it‘s not like theres currently a condo construction boom in the city... I wonder how the population of downtown keeps growing even though there is no greenfield to develop... Needless to say I...

I‘m pretty sure green paint just means bike lane, it’s just only used in areas where it is necessary to make it clearer to motorists.

Wouldn’t people using bikeshare block the bike lanes?

I hope this doesn’t lead to situations where a 4th entrance is closed instead of making a second entrance accessible

I think you mean in Dorion and Île Perrot. iirc there’s a plan to grade separate it in the works.

For sure - many of YRT's services are so infrequent they're basically useless. Off peak and weekend service is especially terrible. I had to ride the 84 Oak Ridges route daily last summer and summer 2018 for a few weeks, and it really sucked. On the YRT map, YRT claimed the 84 was a regular...

I still don't think the Lisgar tunnel is necessary - it's still possible to maintain full grade separation and decent turning radii while following a road like Argentia or Tenth Line, as long as underpasses/overpasses are provided at intersections (Like Mississauga Transitway along Eglinton, or...

Putting it in the median of Derry and 10th Line would even work, with underpasses at intersections (though that would be more expensive than Argentia Rd). But yeah, the tunnel makes no sense. The only potential reason I see for tunneling it is slightly faster speeds, which definitely isn't worth...

That’d be even worse - Hydro One pretty much doesn’t want anything on their ROW. No buildings or permanent structures, no tall trees, certain clearances for the wires, etc. More info: https://www.hydroone.com/business-services/secondary-land-use

Interestingly, they included what looks to be TBM tunnel cross sections in the EA (pg 18 from https://407transitway.com/brantToHurontario/downloads/407TW4%20-%20EPR%20-%205%20-%20Preferred%20Alternative%20-%20WEB.pdf ; all other page numbers in this post refer to this document unless otherwise...

At least a few decades, it seems. https://geohub.brampton.ca/pages/urban-form-population

Edit: whoops, posted at the same time lol Just west of Parliament, linking Hahn Pl and Small St.

Seems like they grade separated it from the start when the Queensway was built in the 50s. This picture is from 1956 and you can see the bridge getting built. From...

That sucks. I guess tiny parks are still better than no parks.

Thanks so much to everyone for all the insight, wow! Thanks for the info! Interesting. Looks like these UWE things are kind of bad, I had never heard of them before. I guess it would still be possible to move the employee parking a bit over and maybe extend the garage building to house a...

Was scrolling around on google maps, and I noticed a bunch of parked buses along with some other random stuff in a field next to Mt Dennis Garage: Does the TTC own this property? If so, maybe they could move the sound barrier wall a bit over, pave over the field to add more bus capacity. Might...

This is a really tiny park, wow. There’s maybe enough space for a path and a few benches and trees, possibly a really tiny playground, not much more. I’d rather close the southern half of Clarence Sq (the road) and expand that park south and east into that parking lot (though it seems that lot...

I mean, the CPP owns a majority stake so at least half of the money is being used for a decent purpose

Theres also tons of TOD going in at VMC, there's like 60+ floor towers getting built, so ridership should continue to increase. Hopefully fare integration happens and YRT also increases feeder bus service especially off peak. 20 Jane is already doing quite well. The only problem I have with...
