Need to start removing RT infrastructure and get ready for simple low budget busway. Mr Ford needs to step up with funding asap, city is broke. We’ve already wasted enough time on this, let’s go while the weather is good.

Busway needs to be handed over to the community in 10 years when subway finished. We don’t need a repeat of the york university bus lane that is not community friendly with its concrete barriers

Ford government most likely to fund busway once TTC makes RT closure official. Partially Decommissioning the SRT is a sunk cost and shouldn’t be counted in on the cost of the busway. No frill busway needs to be built quickly using existing RT concrete base. Convert the busway into...

Steve is right, SRT is done! City has budgeting issues, time for Doug Ford to step up for the people of Scarborough. Let’s get this simple busway going asap.

I agree, we need to build this faster and cheaper. The only reason I can see why it would take two years is because they are designing a busway similar in design to York University. Concrete wall barriers are not needed. They require a drainage plan and removing existing concrete as well as...

Politicians and Journalists need to hold ML and Strabag accountable. Where is this massive TBM? Contracts are in place to move hundreds of truckloads of dirt a week, are we paying trucking companies to stand by? TBM supposedly started digging 7 months ago. We need to find out what’s...

Tough start for this dig if there’s a problem. I wonder what went wrong, if anything. Has anybody seen the conveyors moving earth or tunnel rings being lowered? Looks like headwalls going up on south side of Sheppard. Possible TBM rescue? Speculation at this stage. Status update would help

Reposting my comments from two years ago. We need to look at this project as a two phase approach. 60 million doesn’t have to be spent right now on this project. Concrete barriers like the ones used for the York University busway will not be community/bike friendly once busway is no longer...

This makes too much sense, especially with the EELRT now running as a separate line eastward. You could then start the Eglinton east lrt from a subway station at Danforth or Brimely and not have duplicate systems running west for 2 km. Would also elevate the problems they are having...

This massive TBM should be named “Fat Bastard” in tribute to Scarborough native Mike Myers. The other great names from his Austin Powers movies would be Gold member or Dr Evil.

“If the province agrees, though, it would mean SHN will eventually dispose of both its General and Birchmount campuses.” This will be unfortunate. This area of Scarborough is built around the hospital. Multiple medical buildings and retirement residences rely on it. Hopefully governments at...

SHN recommends building a new hospital at Centenary and a second hospital somewhere entirely new. Hopefully Mayor Tory can clarify his position on where that will be. Subway planners need to know...

Would be smart to build hospital at the same time as subway stop. Hopefully they are taking this into consideration when designing subway.

Bridge station east side of McCowan at Lawrence. would be more user friendly, save time and money and leave land area for future hospital. Bridging over highland creek at Lawrence will allow work to commence on all three stations at least one year earlier. TBM would be pulled out of ground...

Turn Rogers center into a 40,000 seat ballpark with a roof. Home plate should face the lake, not Bloor st. 100 level seats are moveable, rotate them 180 degrees. Home plate will then face sse like Comerica park -Turn the hotel into press boxes and skyboxes. -Remove as much of south wall...

Rogers will only do this if it makes financial sense. New ballpark with retractable roof in the city will cost 1.5-2 billion. I don’t see this happening. More likely a traditional ballpark without a roof outside the city. Naive to think Taxpayers/ fans won’t be on the hook for some of this...

Challenges for busway in this area for sure. Widen where possible. Removing fence on west side, replace with regular raised curb, install new straight fence on east side. Province should also look at encroaching on properties on west side between corridor and Nantucket. Not a pleasing...

Clearly mlb rule 1.04 is not adhered to. Rogers center would have to rotate southern roof panel during afternoon games to alleviate this problem. This is the advantage these other ballparks don’t have.

-Home plate should face the lake, not Bloor st. -100 level seats are moveable, rotate them 180 degrees. -Turn the hotel into press boxes and skyboxes. -Remove 500 and 200 level stands from south wall. Convert wall openings into sliding glass panels. -Install real grass get ready for...

Building ground level bridge subway station at McCowan/Lawrence will save considerable time and money. The TBM would be extracted north of Lawrence station and then relaunched south of it (Roughly 500 meters). Work on all three stations including track and tunnel infrastructure can now...
