    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    From my experience, they are both mountable. There needs to be physical separation so that the cars are unable to park in the bike lane. Both "types" of lanes are an easy stopover for an Uber driver to park in.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    FWIW I saw a bunch of drivers purposely going over the flex posts on Friday. That and this morning I watched 4 cars blaze through an all way stop.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    That's not what I'm saying but I do agree 100% with your statement. We should be continually building transit. All of our streetcar lines have enough ridership to be subway lines and we have many bus routes that have the ridership to be upgraded to some form of rapid transit. We have the...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    The way I see it, the % doesn't matter. Our carrying capacity for the change is what matters. Maybe our infrastructure could handle 5%. Our levels of immigration over the past decade+ do not serve the existing or new Canadians in the GTA well as the housing expense has become too high. Transit...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    This is mostly because of our current immigration situation. If we were at a more modest late 90s level of immigration we wouldn't be having this issue. At that time there was essentially no development (compared to now) happening in the city. You could have put transit into all of our...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    If it's a co-op, the residents are choosing to sell (assuming each unit gets one vote). If that's all true, that is a whole lot of possible lower income citizens getting a step up. That's great and that's their right to do. I actually was wondering if co-ops could do that. From what I remember...

    Which buildings are Toronto Community Housing tearing down? I couldn't find anything when I searched it.

    RapidTO: Citywide Streetcar Priority (City of Toronto, TTC)

    Highway 6 in Guelph has a lagging left.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    Some said that removing parking spaces would destroy business on King. Glad there is more data to say otherwise.

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    "Despite those benefits, the plan doesn't have the support of the union representing TTC workers. " ATU Local 113 said it would "threaten the integrity" of Toronto's transit system and "provide the TTC with a convenient excuse to cut TTC routes and outsource service to other transit agencies."...

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    I've been a similar situation. I initially didn't stop because the car should have seen me as I was ahead. I eventually stopped before the car had a chance to hit me. It's just a couple seconds. I completed understand that people may react in any manner as it happens really fast. Ideally we'd...

    2022 election - who is running for mayor?

    Creating long term housing and improving the shelter system will take a long time. I am pessimistic about Gil getting an adequate amount of funds from council to improve the situation to the degree that's needed. In the meantime, (the way I interpret the language) he won't remove any tents in...

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    King st upgrades are a shorter project so I hope they don't wait on the OL to complete it. Traffic downtown is horrendous and the OL construction will make it worse for a decade so hey... just finish the King St upgrades. Not like people can drive there now.

    But they could sue that the design standards do not provide adequate safety? I think the argument could be made.

    The Coming Disruption of Transport

    Something I noted in the recent articles about Loblaws autonomous trucking "“Autonomous delivery enables Loblaw to operate more routes and make more frequent trips, establishing a supply chain that is safer, more sustainable and more resilient,” the news release reads." More frequent trips can...

    2022 election - who is running for mayor?

    Just read Gil's platform and it's really good with a few exceptions. It appears that he's ok with encampments in parks so I would expect if he were elected he'd be a one term mayor after our parks stop being usable for a few years.

    FastLane: Gil Penalosa’s transit platform for Toronto

    I looked up the article instead of relying on my memory. https://stevemunro.ca/2020/03/11/starving-the-bus-network-for-service/ Garages: "However, the demand for storage space at existing overcrowded garages simply means that McNicoll will be full the day it opens and the TTC will be back in a...

    FastLane: Gil Penalosa’s transit platform for Toronto

    I had the question around the Gardner East money though. I thought that project was under way? Gil's budget didn't include new buses and a maintenance garage/infrastructure

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    The province can spend however it sees fit. I had mentioned that the province could do many major transit projects at once and people had said it's too much money and there isn't capacity yet here we are. It's a choice.
