    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Scarborough gets a Subway to Malvern (Sheppard East), Flemo and Thorncliffe get a Subway in the first phase of the DRL. Priority neighbourhoods won this round. I'm not upset.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Not sure if this has been mentioned before. But the buttons are indeed activated for Stop Request.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Strangely enough, for the first time ever about a week ago a 512 streetcar I was on stopped at a stop for a couple seconds before I'd realized all other passengers at other doors disembarked and that I was required to press the button to open the doors. Perhaps it was driver error, but I've...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    You know what's funny, as someone who lives on St Clair I still occasionally have to remind myself to press the button. I've missed my stop due to the absent minded assumption the streetcar will stop at every stop more than I'd like to admit. This never happened to me before the ROW, so I'd have...

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    The first line to be electrified will likely be Barrie, because of the as mentioned before limit place on the EA for diesel trains travelling over the Davenport Diamond, and because the vendor will likely not wanna start with LSW, LSE due to those projects being more complex. And lastly and most...

    Ontario Line Extension West of Ontario Place (Speculation)

    So the Dufferin-Jane alignment in that scenario with current plans in mind: Exhibition (Lakeshore West GO) King-Dufferin Queen-Dufferin Dundas-Dufferin College-Dufferin Bloor-Dufferin (Line 2) Dupont-Dufferin St Clair-Dufferin Earlscourt (Barrie GO @ Caledonia-St Clair) Rogers Road...

    Ontario Line Extension West of Ontario Place (Speculation)

    I made this map several years ago before the Exhibition routing was chosen. Dufferin-Jane alignment for the OL West.

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Ever since Elon Musk suggested they should bury highways to solve LA traffic (!?) I knew he wasn't the sharpest tool in the tool shed.

    TTC: Jane (LRT) RapidTO

    Dark Blue is the Ontario Line. Dufferin-Jane alignment.

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line: Riverside-Leslieville Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    How about they just don't put the sound barrier. Is there a new standard for sound barriers along metrolinx corridors? We have frequent at grade lines all over the city, why are they only now shoving sound barriers down our throats? I mean aren't the trains going to become increasingly quieter...

    Plans to fill in Allen Road

    I think it's likely considering how much employment is at Yonge and Eglinton, that Allen Road is a major link considering the proximity and the vital connection to the 401. I don't think this is necessarily in conflict of the proposed uses on Eglinton, we have to remember in this scenario we're...

    Plans to fill in Allen Road

    While generally I support the removal of highways. I'm more in favour of reconfiguring the expressway at Eglinton. Yonge and Eglinton is a major business district and I think it's smart to maintain highway access. But I think we could do this while also improving the pedestrian experience - it...

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    Thank you, Allandale25 for replying with pertinent information in a constructive manner. It seems like Metrolinx admits the usefulness of the facility will be reduced due to flood risk in the slides above with another non-response. Yes the buildings will be flood protected, but the track...

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    Yeah, there is already a highway in it. And Bayview Road. I still think a rail yard under the Bloor Viaduct is a terrible idea. Not only because it's under the picturesque Century old bridge and it infringes on the parkland underneath. But it's also in a flood plain. We have no standards in...

    Don Valley isn't in my backyard. I do not want to see an 11 acre train yard in it. Period.

    I wonder if Kathleen Wynne will ever get recognition for getting this idea off the ground. Smart broad.

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT: Mount Dennis Station and EMSF | ?m | 3s | Metrolinx | IBI Group

    Since the 512 is so removed from the legacy network as is, and it's number of passengers per KM is higher than all but Spadina, perhaps during its next upgrade it should be upgraded to LRT. With a few grade separations at Old Weston GO, Dufferin-Oakwood, Vaughan-Bathust-St Clair West, and Avenue.

    Ontario Line Extension West of Ontario Place (Speculation)

    I actually created a similar fantasy map several years ago. The OL on this map doesn't dip to Exhibition but imagine if it were to. Dark Blue line.

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    The same North York with 16 Subway Stations? The same North York that gained the ONLY 2 subway extensions in Metro Toronto in the last 30 years and is now getting another subway extension, 2 LRTs lines, 2 stops on the OL, and new GO stations on the Bolton Line?

    Toronto Toronto | GO Transit: Davenport Diamond Grade Separation | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    AFAIK the renderings and scope of the project was outlined entirely by Metrolinx. Seems they knowingly deceived the community to get shovels in the ground. It shows a lack of respect for the communities these rail lines pass through and sets a precedent for other projects within Old Toronto. The...
