Isn’t the left turn from southbound York St to the ROW where the mistakes happen? https://goo.gl/maps/Jc7ZyRHr67G2

And that will be a buck-a-beer.

Thanks for posting that. I didn’t know about that paint, it has never been posted here and I haven’t walked down there in a few months. You could have just posted the photo to correct me, I don’t know why you had to use such language.

I hope not because this is the dumbest idea ever. “Hey let’s pick two random points in the city that are already connected by TTC and build an ugly gondola between them! Sounds brilliant.”

Especially because the TTC is too stupid to realize they need additional warnings meters BEFORE the tunnel, like colouring of the ROW. Heaven forbid the TTC actually colour a ROW. /facepalm

How can the TTC not know about this when the design of the Crosstown itself / crossover tracks in this area are clearly dependent on the expected ridership and subsequent service schedule? Astonishing.

It’s because a prohibition against going straight through an intersection is new in Toronto, if not Ontario. I don’t know if anywhere else in the province that has this rule (other than for one-way streets of course). Drivers aren’t used to it as compared to no left turns. Oh and the signs...

PERFECT summary of the Scarborough Subway Psychosis.

So Sydney does have the level of construction that we do and yet they accommodate that without affecting traffic flow as much? If so then we need our city staff to take a log hard look at what Sydney is doing that we aren’t.

It’s true—the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Or, is it that tender snowflakes are most easily swayed by populists that speak to their fragile emotions (how dare you FORCE me to transfer in the COLD OUTDOORS!) without using any semblance of logic or rationality? Seems to describe the SSE debate...

Yes, the enforcement in Toronto is pretty much non-existent. I’m not familiar with Sydney but I’d bet it doesn’t have the level of construction that we have here. It’s a nightmare.

To argue that STC is on “the same corridor” as the BD line, when traveling from Kennedy Station requires a near-90 degree turn from eastward to northwards, is just laughable. But for argument’s sake, let’s allow for the notion that Kennedy Station and STC are on the “same corridor” with a...

I stand by my thesis that since drivers are so frustrated by the condition of the roads/traffic/gridlock, they will fight for every time-savings advantage they can achieve. I’m not defending this in any way; just trying to give some kind of cause-and-effect explanation to the culture of drivers...

But there was still a transfer. Seamless or not, it would still exist. That automatically disqualifies this plan. If only the rest of the city that is so insulted because they are forced to endure transfers was treated so handsomely.

Not to mention the residents that are forced to transfer to complete their trips *gasp!!!* have been insulted for decades as well. This includes pretty much the entire population of Toronto. How dare the city insult them without providing subways to their doorsteps?

Beautiful photos! Thanks!

This could be easily accommodated by a toll-by-distance system, like the 407ETR. The key would be identifying tolls that are high enough to properly regulate highway access, but not so high enough as to totally discourage local trips.

Those commuters that use the 401 to get from, say, 427 all the way until DVP will NOT use city streets instead to get around a 401 toll. The money savings would be easily negated by the huge increase in their commute time if they use city streets. These people will be essentially forced to pay...

What are you talking about? There is plenty of room to bike on King and not on streetcar tracks. In fact, biking on King is beautiful now. So much space! Placing more bikeshares on King is a wonderful idea.

If you’re going to go out of your way to smear the Mayor, it would be good to get your facts straight. As many others have pointed out, the projects listed on this letter are either not under construction yet, or have their costs shared between multiple levels of government. This is consistent...
