Adding infill stations and switching from locos to EMUs is "relatively" easy. Even if ML doesn't want to switch to EMUs now, that decision can be easily reversed in the future.

Yea but homeowners vote and if you proposed allowing **gasp** 4 story midrises, then they might have to interact with ** the POORS ** and suburbanites like driving everywhere and will 100% vote you out if you tried putting :mad:APARTMENTS:mad: next to their mcmansion So the only solution is to...

What I like about this idea, is that you can now extend Line 2 to Sherway Gardens in addition to relieving pressure on Bloor Yonge.

Pick one College Dundas Richmond Adelaide King Wellington Front Parliament Sherbourne Jarvis Spadina Bathurst Part of the reason the Yonge line has so much traffic is because it's the only N/S line and the only line to go into Downtown. Build the Ontario line, GO RER and maybe another...

Yes. Of course that is what we should do. It is what we should have been doing from the start. Or do you think that a metropolis of 5 million people should only have 2 radial metro lines running into the city center? If we had kept spending money on subway infrastructure instead of neglecting...

Yea and it’s terrible there too. And the province should have told them to F off. The Paris RER A transports 1.2 Million people per day on two tracks and the Elizabeth line will be able to do the same. I think that 4 lines into downtown from the East should be enough for now if we invest in...

Allowing a group of < 1000 people to kill off important infrastructure projects because they were not personally briefed on a project as though they were some petty king is not "reasonable". This is not how you run a functional technological society, by giving any group of aggrieved residents a...

You try listening to the same set of uninformed opinions calling your work unnecessary and potentially setting your project back years for 3 hours, after your 9-5 work hours. You as a project manager: we listened to your feedback and have decided to put in noise walls and vibration reduction...

Will never happen. Anything that would harm landlords / our oligarchs is not allowed.

The best solution is to close the line east of Laird and spend however much it will take to elevate the eastern section and start saving money for the Lawrence Crosstown. I cannot believe we went through the trouble of building a 20 billion dollar subway and then gimped it by making it lower...

20 billion dollar streetcar! Another 20 billion dollars to give it high floor platforms and grade separate the eastern section!

People fundamentally misunderstand the purpose of a loop line, when they try to shove one into Toronto. A loop line is supposed to be a circumferential line allowing commuters who aren’t headed downtown to bypass crowded radial lines. A circumferential line in Toronto would be an arc, unless...

Apparently we really needed a Hakimi Lebovic stop < 300 meters away from the Warden Stop. Because thats what "metros" do.

Apparently according to ECT capacity deniers Not Streetcar Not Streetcar

Surface level metros don't stop for traffic lights Streetcars do. >The slow down will occur during the Golden Mile portion where stops are closely together This is a streetcar, and it completely gimps the entire system. The quality and reliability of the entire line depends on the weakest...

In 20 years we’re going to shut down the eastern half of the line for 5 years to properly grade separate the line and spend another 10 billion dollars to do so. Let’s spend all this money to build a subway under the central East west avenue across the city, except we’re going to gimp it by...

Local control is how you get a supply crisis because the only people with the time to show up to zoning meetings are crusty seniors with too much time on their hands who hate change, young people and the poors (and the rich who hate all those things too)

Housing to the moon! 20% growth this year, next year, and every year until the sun dies!! Totally sustainable! 100 million Canadians debt bonded serfs by 2100!!!!!!!!

If those nimby cranks were correct, then I’m surprised that the skyscrapers of the financial core haven’t been turned to dust 50 times over. And that kids in Japan, China, London, Paris etc can even walk at this point. It’s just nimby bullshit. Ignore and move on. If anything, every time the...

Caltrans is not the Caltrain. Caltrans is the California Department of Transportation which operates three Amtrak routes in California Caltrain is commuter rail from SF to San Jose
