The McDonalds is spared!

What are the odds this complex gets renamed before opening? I'm betting on "Wynford".

The "last mile" problem is the same for either transit mode (but probably worse for the subway, since the budget/mode will dictate fewer stops built). This isn't a fault of either the LRT or subway, rather zoning, but I think in either case it's going to be a hard sell to get someone to walk...

These neighborhoods of single family homes are dependent on cars to do everything -- groceries, shopping, commuting. If we want to dent car dependency, we need to make it easier to make these local trips without one. That means making it easy to get to the store nearby instead making it easy to...

Heavy metro favours fewer stops and wider spacing, but this necessarily means serving some spots at the expense of others. For example, do you place a stop at Consumers because it's a big employment area, or Vic Park because it's a major crossroads? Similarly, do you place the stop at Kennedy or...

But...but...

There's also Eglinton GO, which will famously not connect with either.

The problem isn't stray EM fields. It's maintenance access and liability for Hydro One, so they don't allow it.

Isn't that sidewalk going to get ripped up in < 1 year for the extension?

It would, but Ontario Hydro has been famously against anything on their property.

Anyone wanna buy an amusement park?

Photos from tonight. They're definitely not wasting any time getting to work.

It may just be the exposure setting of the video, but yeah, it does seem dark.

Is there a chance the track could bend?

Hallelujah. This gap is no less than a mile of terror.

Really bad all around. The crew parked the train in the wrong spot (not far enough into the pocket to see the exit signal) and proceeded without authority. The signal system let that happen. The entire point of the system is to enforce movements of trains, so there needs to be a really good...

The Bayview tracks are excellent. It is such an obvious piece of infrastructure that it feels natural for it to be there. I used to hate taking Bayview when there were no lanes because you needed to have eyes on all sides. The curved hill was the worst because you'd be going very slow relative...

I'm surprised it isn't emblazoned with the Line 5 symbol

Not sure I understand -- they're making only left turns because it's a lot easier to make than a right turn with a median in the way (even from the opposite lane). The radius of the ramp itself is nowhere near as tight as the turn.

Larger turning radius turning WB to SB than EB to SB.
