Using the subway if you're just going one or two stations along the Danforth is a pain in the ass, and it's also expensive for short hops if you don't have a Metropass. I live literally across the street from a subway entrance on the Danforth and I'll be buying a BikeShareTO membership the...

Surprising that this "guy who bikes to work" doesn't understand why we ding our bells at taxis and delivery trucks parked in the bike lane. It's not to express anger, it's to announce our presence to those people who may just be about to open their doors right into our path.

I wonder how big of a staff of people will need to be dedicated to resolving charging errors once this thing is rolled out entirely.

I'm just wondering if people will actually do that....

How do you envision cyclists moving to destinations along King if it's closed to cars and there are no bike lanes?

People on bikes aren't going to park them two blocks away and walk to their destination on King, though. They're going to bike on the sidewalk if they aren't allowed on the road. The solution is to provide bike lanes with some sort of traffic calming devices - floating streetcar stops would add...

It's one of 2 new bus terminals on the line. (Mount Dennis) (though *someday* it could be tri-modal :))

I'm not 100% sure. If they're commercial condo units, then they're sold just like the residential units, and presumably come with condo fees of some sort (though likely not entirely the same as residential, depending on the arrangement and access to the amenities, shared spaces, etc). I'm not...

Has there been any documented cases of pedestrians being seriously injured by cyclists around here? I can't recall any off the top of my head.

Retail/commercial follows population. It takes a while for the demand to build up to the point where new stores are profitable. Plus, being new buildings, they typically ask for higher rents and or sometimes even commercial condo units. Lots of different factors at play, but especially for...

These parts are fine, of course, but it's the intersections (aka the mixing zones) that provide the most frustration to all users. The paving material tends to be the same as the pedestrian areas, so it's understandable that the large crowds of pedestrians don't realize they shouldn't be...

There are a bunch of de-facto all door boarding stops in the city that TTC just kind of looks the other way on. Thinking of the Dufferin bus at Dufferin station, which is not a fare paid area, but volumes are so high that the driver often (or always?) opens the back doors and lets people on...

How long has the Finch Hydro transitway been around? That could contribute to it - some ridership moving to the express/rocket buses.

The delay is entirely unacceptable. It's a constant in this city, so I've found, just kicking the can down the road, study, study, study, wait, study again, try to find results that align with the regressive suburban ideology, and if not, study some more. However, the good news is that the...

It's insanity. I'm unclear on how this all works though. Conceivably, could a councillor put forward a motion during the debates at general council that basically undoes this amendment? It would have a lot easier time passing there than the suburban-loaded PWIC. Is that a thing that's possible?

Probably the same way they've managed to dig out a whole new story beneath Union Station while keeping it open.

I'm sure there are examples opposite of this, but I think most P3s are not owned privately. The ECLRT, for example - Crosslinx has a DBFM contract, but operation will be done by the TTC, while Metrolinx will own the structures, tunnels, and land. The maintenance period is 30 years, at which...

Yeah, for sure. There was a full study commissioned somewhere that called for even more extensive work at the crossings, but getting even these few things is a big help. Eglinton was always grade separated (the trail runs well under Eglinton's grade) - I assume that was just an oversight by...

Traffic lights were recently added at the Avenue crossing. Eglinton crossing is fully grade separated. They added a cut to the island at Oriole which allows a 2-stage crossing (like at Pottery Rd where the Don trail crosses it) Only Bathurst hasn't had improvements that I'm aware of...

No, that's already accounted for. 22-23 is the average speed across the entire route. Of course, this number is highly incompatible with the general automotive mindset because people incorrectly tend to think that their average speeds is, say, 50 km/hr because that's what it's signed, but...
