another bad apple. Police would like to interview him. https://www.cp24.com/news/police-investigating-after-video-appears-to-capture-cyclist-assaulting-driver-1.4495564 Looks like the cyclist try to jump a green (on the crosswalk). Based on the pedestrian light which is in view. He got hit...

I'm surprised it isn't linear magnetic drive (vs belts). But maybe due to speed (at least my experience with linear magnetic doors has been that they take slightly longer but it may have just been the magnets used)

OK. Did a bit more research. DSC is correct. A condo board is permitted to buy telecommunications services (data, tv, etc) in bulk and include it as part of a condo fee. Where it gets murky is if they then try to upsell various services. Per Ontario condo law they are permitted to...

I hope the Board discussed this with lawyers. (1) They are required to allow 4 different providers to units (note there is uncertainty if the Board represents renters and as such they cannot make decisions for them)...

I agree. Wish there was a way to do both. Maybe fire doors that stay open (with electromagnetics so it will shut during a fire). The other issue I have is - the "final" plan includes Jersey barriers along the east edge of Yonge. Why? Why not raise this area to sidewalk level? - is the...

For fire code purposes they want 2 separate concourses. I wonder if they could have considered fire rated doors between them? Or do they have to be completely separated? (maybe the air velocity in the concourse with vent fans activated would prohibit doors between the 2 concourses...would...

The Brampton bus terminal is on the North side of Steeles (which was stated in the previous posts). You want to encourage people to transfer to the LRT...with such a inhospitable transfer they may just drive.

Plus the fact that you have to keep 2 lanes open at all times (given the amount of traffic + number of trucks). I believe the 401 near Newcastle had 1 lane for the construction period. During construction you will first have to build the outside shoulder, the inside lane & barrier plus...

It is an interesting notion. There still is a ROW (other than a few buildings near the station) that goes from the VIA station all the way to the Casino. With all the at-grade crossings a GO Train would not be feasible. A shorter train (DMU?) could travel on a re-built track. But then you...

I wonder if there was the same discussion in the '50's when it moved out of the St Lawrence Market area? I support Ontario produce. They should be paying a land lease based on the FMV of the land & building they are sitting on to the extent the wholesalers are not selling Ontario goods.

I assumed the new Liberty roadway area would be the staging area for the construction. And the Front Street extension lands (Front & Bathurst) would be the extraction site for the TBM going downtown. Between these sites it could either be at grade on the N side of the tracks (if there is...

in York would love to know what they are doing with - St Marks Road (very steep hill). Any point with bike lanes going up it (I would be very impressed if anyone hasn't stopped part way up). - St Marks & Humbercrest. How will they keep this a 2 way stop? (needed as vehicles going up the...

Mysterious technology...false. Various trainsets have been identified that can be used to meet the slopes required 2 years to reach 15% is impossible. False. Barcelona can get from 0% to construction started in 3 years. Just need political will (and the ability to make hard decisions)...

When the Moat is finished will i would love to see the PATH connection to Citigroup Place be upgraded. Would be great to have a barrier free entrance from Station St/York St (west side) into Citigroup Place. Connected to their PATH to get to Union Station. Then once Station St/ is redeveloped...

Instead the city wants to ask Dash Domi to lease computer equipment again! :D

I was driving in Etobicoke over the weekend (Ikea and Costco trip...sigh) and noticed that the bike lanes near bus stops have a makeover (e.g. Royal York). They have now painted the bike lane/bus stop with green paint and placed a sign for cyclists to stop for the bus. Didn't get a picture...

With the relief line now going towards towards the rail ROW the alignment will be going SW (vs due west). About double the length to get to the tracks. I took the heights from BurlOak. Plus the embankment height from the Corktown Commons details.

it's 215m from Bayview @ Lawren Harris square to the top of the berm near the train tracks. We now know they plan to follow the train ROW up to Gerrard The berm is 8.5m high. So 13.5m height in 215m distance. 14m high in 230m for going over the tracks. 6.3% grade for the former and 6.1% for...

Why is this a non-starter? is the public good of having a small strip of park removed (and likely a pedestrian/cycle bridge to a new employment district added) worth about $500,000,000? Is it worth more than eliminating 5+ minutes from a transfer for thousands of people a day? Where is your...

when lines cross at 90 degrees how do you have same grade transfers? When they run parallel to each other it makes complete sense.
