2 New Livery BiLevel Coaches (No Cabs) at Lambton Yard this morning! didnt catch car # I guess these will be delivered to Willowbrook via the Canpa Sub by Kipling?

Anyone know why the ALRVs have been running on Spadina these passed few days instead of on 504 or 501? We're the assigned C's being retired already or going into the shop? 4235 was my ride this morning. 510 was supposed to be going full accessibility this month iirc so curious why A's would be...

this may hold some answers for you. revised master plan has details about DP square and surrounding spaces https://torontoed.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/TED-MasterPlanUpdate-March4-2015.pdf

still a continuing case of govt following the "burning the furniture to heat the house" model of transit investment in ontario but in this case its acceptable to some extent because I dont suspect the land was generating much revenue for the govt anyways. The planning remains a nightmare but...

for the love of all things urbane, please dont keep the retail frontage a 100% flat glass facade. no better way to kill street life (however nascent it may be in some areas) than making one giant wall of nothing but reflectivity. Add in or bring down some of the presumably precast blocks down...

minimum 1% of gross costs of city projects must go towards public art, as per city policy

Oh FFS, this is absolutely ridiculous. the station already has art in it. See lower concourse wall art, upper concourse planters/rocks? and track level wall tile design. I'm not against station art especially when it adds something but these snails just seems like the stupidest most kiddish idea...

I've never heard any one so happily say "abandoned lots, derelict buildings, crumbing concrete and abandoned land" DECAY WOOOHOOOOOO

As a point of reference, in Montreal, where the original $17 million dollar costs was born by Saputo Inc., the Quebec government funded the $23 million dollar expansion. The stadium is owned by Saputo Inc. So here we have an opposite case, granted the total dollar amount is much lower, where...

This much I can agree with that government funds accounted for the majority of the first phase costs. However the second phase which was arguably the most important one, given its flexibility and growth of potential future use, and at this point has run the tab on the stadium to something in...

Lets just all remember that this is a City-owned stadium being used for a premier sports team (like it or not MLS is top league in USA+CAN) and who's construction has been largely paid for by the private sector at ~$105 million. While I would have loved to get some nicer finishes on this stadium...

Fun Fact the old bus bay area (though not the actual bays) was in use December 6th and 7th for bus diversions from the Eglinton subway bus platform area due to road repair work IIRC.

Ummmmm so the Miway 1 Bus, the 26 Burnhamthorpe, the 3 Bloor and I could continue do make stops in Toronto on their way to Islington. See below for the stops listed on the 1 Route as it comes into Islington.

so just looking at this pages for Montreal's STM. i count using a variable liberal definition of office workers, 733 and lets say there are some other categories now listed here and we add another 1000 on top for the sake of argument and being very accommodating for all other categories not...

Are you kidding me?! The building is beautiful as is. It's a btutalist Gem in this city. Please let there be a way to stop this.

Yup they are working with Vancity on the SRT overhaul See here: http://www.thestar.com/news/gta/transportation/2015/02/26/scarboroughs-creaking-srt-gets-a-makeover.html "The TTC is partnering with Vancouver, which uses the SRT technology on its SkyTrain, and is sourcing parts from Bombardier...

Make that 10. I'd love to help

i Prsume the $4b is upfront capital in getting the minimum required vehicles, largeley overland track and station improvements built withlittle to no tunnelling or elevation. contrast, the crosstown lrt contract includes 10 km of super expensive bored tunnels, several new vehicles, a new...

im happy we dont have more of them. they are detriimental to street life and vibrancy.

yup thats pretty much it. At Present they use the 403 shoulder lanes to bypass traffic between erin mills and city centre and use the 403 on off ramps to get to /from erin mills. at least that what he (47j?)GO bus i was using did. edit: rapidway to winston churchhill was not yet open at the...
