Yes, the second one is what I meant.

Maybe som hybrid solution with a moving walkway between union and QQ terminal and an altered LRT alignment that provides through service via union station to QQ east without serving the ferry terminal. Kind of like an upside down "V" with ferry docks access being provided by the moving walkway.

Whatever solution is chosen, it needs to be able to handle crush loads at Union for TFC games and other events at the exhibition grounds plus the ferry docks. I'm not sure forcing two transfers on people at union would be the best solution. It might help disperse people heading to the ferry...

They're just putting a small holding section after RHC not really a yard, I think it'll only hold like 7 trains I believe? Not 100% sure on exact details.

Redundancy for if there's an issue on Yonge line vs Spadina vs Finch, etc. It makes the system more malleable in light of no express services or passing tracks on the system.

Yes, finally someone puts Sheppard West extension in. I don't doubt it's not going to have the highest ridership, but the flexibility it will afford with storing trains and providing redundancy to the system will be worth it, IMO.

Jane and Leslie are slated to become VIVA light BRT routes soon along witt a route on Major Mackenzie so makes sense.

this is exactly the issue. The issue is directly south of the bridge at Bathurst/Fort York. You've got people making a left into CityPlace without an auxiliary left turn lane PLUS their competing with the northbound vehicles turning right. Both are being shoved into one lane serving a...

too bad the 511 would crawl between Queen St and Fleet St before it could get onto the dedicated ROW. Weren't there plans to have the 511 in a dedicated ROW between Fleet and Queen?

I mean, VMC is right by two provincial highways (that actually move, unlike 401) and a regional highway plus a BRT line and a future subway, I don't see how that there isn't a clear similarity in terms of the urban form between Sheppard and VMC. Not sure I follow your logic outside of lower tax...

looking at those photos, I am sooooooooo looking forward to so many people eating their words about "a subway to nowhere". We've got development started AND built even before the subway opens, with plenty more space to be infilled. I can't say I see the same type of activity happening anywhere...

Even without fare integration, if they simply moved the Oriole GO station to a more transfer-friendly location above Leslie Station you'd probably see an uptick in transfers simply due to the convenience factor and elimination of a 5-10 minute uncomfortable walk (depending on walking ability)...

You make some good points. And they are based on engineering principles. However, we must acknowledge that those two corridors (Beecroft/Doris) have basically zero trip generators on them and that a tremendous amount of high-density residential development is centred on Yonge Street. This...

It's probably (insert figure) safer because of volume and lane width and speed. As soon as a roadway has less volume that automatically translates into less potential conflicts between cyclists and motorists. Mind, you, safety isn't the only reason that determines where bike lanes should be...

I mean, I usually take UberPool which is rarely faster than transit, especially when your driver is trying to coordinate with three other drunk passengers on where to pick them up at 2:30 a.m. on a Saturday. I know I mainly use it just because it's more convenient and safe getting dropped off...

funny, Uber studied the effect on their ridership when the Tube changed to 24 hour operation and found that transit ridership on the subway went up at stations in the suburbs AND also increased ridership for Uber/carpooling in those areas because getting to transit 80% of the way and paying for...

putting stations along Yonge St to Yonge/Eglinton and along the Beltline would create a nice connection all the way to the employment cluster around Caledonia/Castlefield -> Y-E centre as a sort of Cycling highway. I'm sure once Eglinton Connects gets implemented they'll do this as well as add...

Or you know...Streetcars just wait without boarding or alighting while the light is being held green for them. Happens all the time at Bathurst/King, Dufferin/King based on my experience. I don't take it past Bathurst unfortunately. I think it's mostly because these streetcars don't want to...

I'm not arguing that, sometimes no matter how long you build an off-ramp it will always be operating over capacity. What I was arguing was that just because something is longer than 300-400m doesn't mean it's being overbuilt.

It depends on the capacity and delay at the intersection downstream, but the resulting queues and impacts to through traffic will depend on a mixture of the Level of Service at the intersection downstream and the storage capacity of the off-ramp.
