So the UP Express Express option would have been slowed down by yet another slow zone if that plan had gone through! Seriously, who came up with that?

Hold on a second...a few weeks ago when the UP Local/Express split was proposed it was revealed that non-stopping trains would have to slow to an absurdly slow speed when passing through Bloor and Weston's high-level platforms. HOWEVER I just took the UP Express yesterday and we blasted...

So what was the point of those bus lanes if we're going to rip them up again to build LRT?

Not a huge fan of demolishing existing density to build bigger density, especially since this site is so close by to some completely vacant land.

I thought the underground stations on Eglinton were built for 3 cars right now but with knockout walls to expand to 4 cars.

I am a staunch believer that we should slightly undersize transit whenever possible. That way we can run more frequent service and point to full vehicles as proof of high transit demand.

I obviously haven't given as much thought to this as the abacus monkeys at Metrolinx, but I can't possibly imagine that ridership would be better after cutting service to Bloor and Weston. Is there really a large contingent of airport travelers who would take a 20 minute UP Express train but who...

If they don't make the needed repairs, it would truly be a great loss.

Kotsy is one of Toronto's most notorious graffiti artists. Police have been trying to catch him in the act for years.

I would have voted against the second motion, honestly. We need a lot of other transit projects before we need a line 2 extension to sherway.

It's in the final stretch now, TBMs are passing Royal York and are less than a kilometer from the extraction site. https://maps.metrolinx.com/arcgis/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=cfb19fbab99a4cc381ddfb533998cc5f

West extension is still tunneling, 2025 opening is impossible.

If we're doing Price Is Right rules, I'll take September 17th.

There's no way in hell this costs more than a subway.
