In the East, Scarborough Village and Kingston Galloway are not low density, nor are they high income. They are very low income areas. The SSE stop at Lawrence and McCowan will really help Kingston-Galloway commuters with a closer stop and one less trasnfer for many. As for Scarborough...

Thx. Always give my feedback through the appropriate channels FWIW. Inevitably my concerns in regards to the narrow transit planning scope are nothing new. We already lost almost two decades due to the repercussions of poorly detailed planning for Central Scarborough. This will be...

'Half baked'. I would argue the best parts of the plan are a tenth baked for both bike lanes, and public transit improvement. And completely burnt when you look at impacts to motorists in terms of confusion and added congestion. The sad part is this wont be undone until we are all paying...

That is a really simple response with so many glaring issues in the current plan. Safe to assume you dont live around here, nor care. The bigger problem is the 'planning diet' with lack of detail and equitable planning to build real rapid transit, real cycle infrastructure and not congest...

Slightly faster? They are making a mess out of traffic, creating confusion for highly questionable 'slightly faster' bus and no real bicycle lanes. Forget the confusion created and poor cycle lanes for a minute, you simply should never implement the removal of vehicle lanes, without greatly...

Infrastructure funding does not end at the SSE and OL, therefore all Cities are suppose to plan next projects appropriately with detail for the future and lobby strongly so their plans are funded down the road. In this case the City stopped planning for the EELRT, started to cut corners and pay...

There is never 'money' until there is. Without a serious plan and strong push from the City level there will never be a chance for money, same goes for any plan, anywhere. There is really no excuse for any City not to push forward with detailed planning . This red paint is a make work...

As much as i feel strongly about it getting to Markham & Milner in the 1st phase I'd have to agree that it would be a feat to see even the Provincial politicians get the line past McCowan. But it will be interesting as there will be a massive uproar in the Malvern community so i doubt it goes...

I dont dispute any of the limitations regarding most designs for BRT/LRT. Never have? My point is we are spending money right now to cause congestion, provide minimal enhancements to public transit, adding no real cycles lanes, and causing confusion on the roads. But yes if and when we are...

There are many options when designing BRT&LRT which would justify removing 2 vehicle lanes on major arterials. All options would provide designs that greatly improve upon transit speeds, capacity and provide proper cycle lanes. What is happening right now does not come close and is sad to see...

Yes, and that decision for EW only makes the decision for the City to stop planning the EELRT far more shameful. Personally I feel the Conservatives were the closest ones to getting it right on Eglinton West. Grade separated rapid transit whether tunneled or above ground should have been the...

That statement is very problematic as the majority of families here have family members that require a car due to the various limitations of public transit in their lives. This will not change for many, many, many decades even if we were currently building real rapid transition solutions on...

Eglinton East - removing 2 vehicles lanes and adding NO rapid transit Eglinton West -removing 0 vehicle lanes and adding fully underground rapid transit I mean who can't see a major problem brewing here and how irresponsible the City planning is? The minimum City planning should have pushed...

It was the Province that gave us the wonders of the disjointed, disconnected RT. But then again some of the other proposals floating around back then like a streetcar were just a short-sighted. Anyhow were over 2 decades since amalgamation and were talking right now about the current...

'evidence-based'? Here we go again. There is a cost to building detailed transit and in this case actual rapid transit, and an actual cycle lane sadly seems to be too much for here. Really sad if we see the 'experts' and 'evidence-based' political weaponization used against Scarborough...

https://nowtoronto.com/news/smarttrack-ttc-john-tory It was part of the deal in the upload of subway capital. When City blatantly refuses to even plan with equity and detail even after the previous attempts failed miserably it is very shameful. You have to really want to ignore the problem...

Wait, the Province is moving forward with these subways with no City funds. Which was also likely a politically strategic move to give the City the option to fund the EELRT with the SSE transit levy, knowing how they historically choose to fumble the ball and cut corners in Scarborough. And sure...

People here were screaming subway because we had a disconnected LRT design to replace the RT along with an added transfer being placed on Sheppard LRT extension which disconnected the Centre at both ends. Absurd planning. Further there was no subway proposed for Eglinton East at that time or...

This decsion is all on the City as far as East Scarborough is concerned. The Province paid for the subway opening up the transit levy. The City then deliberately choose to bait and switch and implement a painted red lane and market it as something it's not. Worse the City planned this...

Is it better? Again I ride much of the entire route weekly and can assure you this is all a poltical sham. The issue along this corridor with frequency is signal priority and Kennedy station Crosstown construction. The previous HOV style lane was no even an issue. It truly wasn't. So we are...
