And then they'll wonder why their population pyramid looks like this. Shooting themselves in the foot, really.

I wasn't sure where to put this, so I'll link it here. New York State establishes scramble crosswalks outside schools What do you think?

You know what they say about the definition of stupidity ... The previous process wasn't working. I, at least, am willing to put up with Metrolinx if it means we actually get transit built sooner. The devil's bargain, maybe. Follow at your own risk.

I am concerned about the ridership of this project. High speeds doesn't mean anything if you can't get to the station, and if Metrolinx continues to build Garage Mahals to accommodate cars, their stations will never have high ridership. The suburban agencies have a mixed record of providing...

Do you actually know this, or is this the incoherent blabbing of someone who doesn't care for pedestrian safety? When I am walking, I experience too many near-misses by cars in slip lanes, cars turning in and out of parking lots, drivers calling someone, drivers not even looking my way, etc. etc.

Given the reference to Avenue Road, I assume something like this? There are plenty of problems with this plan: How much will it cost? You need to get around the YU subway, and whatever creek beds may exist on that alignment. Three lanes in both directions? That will have not nearly enough...

I say we need another third-rate politician in our mayor's office. I'm interested in your least-favourite-favourite candidates!

If that is enough to offend you, you should take a break from UT. The Ontario Line uses trains and technology that is about as standard as you can get. It's the standard in every country where transit is actually advanced, but no, everything needs to be Made-in-Toronto. Okay, so everyone you...

The AADT is at best a mediocre measure of how many people would use a train. In the vast north, driving is more convenient for loads of city pairs. Unless people want to take transit between the city pairs that the train would run between, no amount of road volume will convince them to switch...

I'm so glad that our "transit advocates" are advocating for more custom outdated technology rather than modern, off the shelf designs. Apparently some people have gotten the idea into their heads that you can build a transit line without any impact whatsoever. You cannot build a transit line in...

This was posted by you ... yesterday! I don't see a way around Metrolinx (how would you get transit without them?) but I can see a way to not purposefully delay the Ontario Line more than we need to. Because we're cutting five trees, and not the entirety of the greenspace? I don't see open...

Let's sack John Tory and Doug Ford while we're at it too, shall we??? Yes, and send them the bill to re-re-design the line? Or shall we send the bill to the NIMBYs who have held up this project for so long? I cannot believe that you are advocating to re-cancel the line, then spend a decade...

Unfortunately, we're stuck with Metrolinx for the time being. Which means we *have* to put up with their incompetence to get a transit line built. Again, if they can redesign University Avenue and the station with minimal delays, I say go for it. But unless we are willing to push back this...

... at the time of the Line 1/2 upgrades, the cost of construction was much cheaper than today. Scarborough Subway Extension is a bondoogle, an overexpensive project meant to further the government's political goals. In neither of those examples was existing infrastructure (track, platforms...

Seriously, this forum of transit advocates is now willing to NIMBY a transit line over ... five trees? Huh? Is putting the entrance somewhere else a better option? Yes. Is Metrolinx a piece (or pieces) of shit? Yes. Are they the least transparent agency anyone's ever dealt with, ever? Yes...

$47 million in 'efficiencies' (read: cuts) in Ottawa's transit budget. $43 million from the 'Transit Capital Program'. $4.3 million from fleet optimization, whatever that means...

You are posting on Urban Toronto, not Agora Montreal. Feel free to post whatever you like, but don't be surprised when people ask what something means.

Cops *could* be a short-term solution. With the usefulness (not!) of the TPS, I wouldn't count on that. Still, better than nothing. If you can think of an immediate solution, I would love to hear it. It's probably a copycat thing. One kid attacks a random dude, gets away with it, then the...
