    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Why not? It's by far the biggest railway museum in Canada, and bills itself as Canadian. They have other ex-Toronto equipment, and from across the nation. A better question is why is there Chicago subway trains at Halton. I'd send these to the States, and replace them with an SRT car, with...

    The Coming Disruption of Transport

    I'd think the bigger issue is which car company is going to still be around in a few years time, when you will need replacement parts. Personally, I buy cars built in Ontario. I'm not sure where Tesla's manufacturing is though.

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I thought it was simply related to the timeframe when they were initiated. Different department.

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Earlier this year, there seemed to always be a car when I crossed Eglinton, during the morning, but not in the evenings (around 6 pm). But that had stopped more recently. Are they running in the evenings now, or just earlier?

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I'd think that they'd simply do it the way they are doing it, and schedule it so that it works for the earliest possible opening date. Which presumably is still some time away. 2025? 2026?

    Lack of meaningful Passenger Rail service outside the Quebec-Windsor Corridor

    Outside of the congestion charge zone. It's night and day once you go inside. They struggle with the politics of expanding it. There are simple solutions to implement though, if there's political will. And one advantage of doing it, is that buses move very quickly inside the congestion zone...

    Lack of meaningful Passenger Rail service outside the Quebec-Windsor Corridor

    Green and yellow cabs? Purple one-decker buses? 9 lanes of traffic? That's clearly not London. The cab colours suggest India. I believe that's Delhi. I've had them there for months. Part of the problem is that so much of the thread seems to be responding to his comments, that the thread itself...

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Oh I don't know - Crosstown West seems to be moving on surprisingly quickly. I doubt it will be a half-decade (or more) behind schedule like the original Crosstown. I wouldn't be surprised if (optimistically) Crosstown opens in 2025 or 2026, while Crosstown West opens in 2031. The biggest...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    This isn't a debating society. Nor is it strictly about the number of trips - obviously reducing deaths is more important than other factors. Please stop this - or reserve this to one or two posts a year. (and in the last year or so, there seems to be more than one poster, and topic, that this...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Are you trolling? I don't think a thread discussing the increasing cycling infrastructure is the place to go all woke about the impact on car drivers. Edit - good grief - a dozen more posts since the one I replied to. We get it - you don't like bike lanes. Why mention it more than once a year...

    Streetcar Tracks on Adelaide

    A fine argument if one didn't see such vehicles and couriers parked in bike lanes and bus stops feet away from a decent, and often fully legal, place to park.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Which area of the city are you seeing that? Perhaps pre-Covid outside a homeless shelter, when they used to kick everyone out in the morning - or when there used to be line-ups for methadone clinics; though I personally never witnessed a real problem at either of those locations.

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    It's difficult to change much, without completely replacing the bents - which would significantly increase cost. This location is effectively in the centre of a small TTC storage area - I'm not sure if it would even be wise to add public access! There's a lot of other places that should be...

    Streetcar Tracks on Adelaide

    Why paint the wide yellow, instead of building a barrier of some kind. Gosh, that bike lane looks wide. Could they have made it a bit narrower, and put parking spots alongside it?

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    I was just walking past it, and was wondering if the elevations are changing.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    To what end? Hasn't the city reported this previously?

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    After hours? In the old days, you'd just phone someone at home. Now they make impossible.

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Those are surficial soils. Not really relevant to the depth where the TBM is operating. And presumably long gone under the 401. If the TBM were to get into trouble under the 401, more likely related to forgotten piles or something else underground that everyone has long forgotten about. It...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Doesn't that just mean that Metrolinx takes liberty with colours in promo stuff? But hang on - what do you mean teal at the stations? It looks like the same Light Grey spelling that TTC has been using for over a decade For Line 6. Where is there teal signage?

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Looking through their website, I see that pink being used in a few places. It seemed to be quite prominent on some of the Ontario Line community stuff - but then I realised it was being used on the Eglinton West stuff as well. I'd prefer the blue as well. I just don't seeing Metrolinx using the...
