Honestly, have you even met some cycling advocates? Some don't even believe an environmental assessment should be required for biking facilities. The very process that would ensure the designs for these facilities are properly constructed for everyone's safety. You're wasting your breath here.

I'd say King is too far away. The traffic dispersed would likely be taken up by closer E-W roads like Harbord/Welelsley or Dupont/Davenport

The "you" was a proverbial "you" implying why anyone would end it at Victoria Park....as much as I appreciate the clarification.

I think above ground between west of Weston Rd and Scarlett Road makes a lot of sense, it's parkland and there's ample room, it would also mitigate changes in grade and facilitate crossing the Humber river. Then go underground west of Scarlett Road and emerge just west of Royal York and be...

I just don't get why you would arbitrarily end the line at Victoria Park. It's not a major node and will likely cause more transfers for people than less.

I'd imagine because they may envision a large portion of passengers starting and ending at Steeles West Station, thus it may be more convenient for operational purposes to have a split line or something like that in the future (negating the benefit of a costly station in the middle of the road...

I mean, it's a great idea. The rail corridor is a blight and a barrier in this area that isolates CityPlace. Ask any urban planner and they'll tell you that neighbourhood is going to end up being a slum unless we do something about it. So it's not completely a bad idea. It just feels like...

I don't know much about how these facilities are constructed, however, I drove by the VMC viva station last night and it seems like the canopy and platforms are almost complete. I assume what is left is the networking, power and underground connection to the subway.

Besides rent controls, I mean it would seem like a hassle to evict all the current tenants, tear down the property, go through a zoning amendment, design a new building, sell it and construct it.

seems like a bit of a reach

Going to study urban planning?

Yea, I live in the area and I always use Allen Road because it is faster. The issue is that you have so many conflict points at Eglinton/Allen between Buses turning into and out of the station as well as traffic turning on and off the Allen. I can't even remember how it was like before...

For people who work downtown it's a great opportunity to have express RER style access to downtown or rapid midtown access via the subway. Even if it will be a "miniature commuter railway" having a better connection will UNDOUBTEDLY lead to more transit use a a dispersion of traffic away from...

Can anyone actually provide real facts that the majority of cyclist/vehicular collisions in Toronto have cars at fault? Can't seem to find anything more than % of cyclists killed, etc

It is when we have the highest rates of pedestrian and cyclist death in the city this year. I guess there's no issue though because they chose to get killed? Not following the logic there...sorry.

Your mileage may vary, going down Shaw from Davenport is all downhill and I'm not athletic at all and myself and everyone around me gets up to close to those speeds. You're right it's probably not up at those speeds on a flat roadway. I think Yielding should be the minimum, and I think that's...

I know your post was made in jest, but I mean...if taking bad habits from drivers is justification for cyclists to ride recklessly...I'm not sure that's really helping anyone. Not to mention when a cyclist messes up there's a higher chance they may be killed. Accidents are accidents for a...

I've been biking for a few weeks now and I have to say as a driver and a cyclist it absolutely pisses me off when I see cyclists speeding through stop signs and red lights when vehicles are approaching. On top of this I've seen many cyclists create dangerous situations on their own and have the...

Berlin is a pretty cool city to ride along the S-Bahn and view it from the elevated railway. Overall I'd say it's got a great network of cycling facilities, but you still can't come close to what the Netherlands and Denmark have going for them. Although I would much prefer to strive toward a...
