Lol I see that the post you're quoting is two years old. Unfortunately in the last two years Elon Musk has gone increasingly off the deep end. And while normally most people don't care about the politics of a company CEO, Elon has made himself a very outspoken public figure. So his politics are...

There's no good reason for them to stop anywhere. Mississauga is building an extensive cycling network of its own after all, even if it is mostly poorly designed. 4.4% as Northern Light mentioned. And that's only going to go up. Travel habits are adjusting to the new cycling infrastructure...

Bikes take up a lot less space than cars. So the same amount of space moves more people on bikes than in cars. I wouldn't be so quick to conclude that capacity is being decreased at all. Vehicle travel times are just one of many measures of the success of city streets. There's a reason that the...

^That 20,000 number will go down and the 400 will go up. The way we build our streets has a big impact on how people use them, as has been shown with other similar projects. In any case, I'm not sure what these observations are trying to prove exactly. It takes time for people's habits to...

It could be a deliberate choice. Most classical columns were made with multiple segments, which you can see in the Parthenon in Athens for example. Monolithic columns like at the Pantheon in Rome were more rare. https://nypost.com/2014/01/26/the-secret-history-of-the-parthenon/

The Brickworks diversion is how I ride this route. It's easy and direct and takes you right to the lights to cross Bayview. The problem is that wayfinding is basically nonexistent so the turn from the Belt Line to the Brickworks connection is very easy to miss. I've done that trail after...

The Centennial Fountain in Peterborough was inspired by the original in Geneva. https://www.thestar.com/autos/a-weekend-in-peterborough-the-land-of-lakes/article_4dc1671a-e5c5-51bd-be4c-df7e7dd80ffa.html

This is why I have a Bike Share membership. I pretty much limit my own bike to recreational rides. If I'm actually going somewhere where the bike will be left for more than a few minutes then I'll use a Bike Share bike. No need to worry about theft. The only problem is the scarcity of available...

I went by the legislature the other day and the public realm in the front and back of the building really is appalling. An expanse of cracked asphalt filled with cars and delivery trucks, temporary fencing, and haphazardly placed temporary planters acting as barriers, all surrounded by a moat of...

You have to remember that we're going to have a lot more options when that area is built out, including the Ontario Line and upgraded Stouffville Line. That will reshape travel patterns around the city. I would imagine that a lot of east end Line 5 riders will transfer at Kennedy or Science...

It would be great to see an extensive passenger rail system in Alberta. But colour me skeptical. We've seen lots of rail plans come and go over the years. If this is genuine I'd be interested in knowing how they plan to get around the problems with host railways that Via has been struggling with...

I find it funny that people refer to a rental project as a condo.

Even in 30-50 years I don't see it happening for hydrogen. A big part of reducing costs is scale. Hydrogen lacks that completely and isn't going to have it for personal transportation in the foreseeable future. Batteries have scale in spades, with millions of EVs now being produced every year...

The fact that they need to put up signs telling people what each signal is for shows that the HTA is badly in need of amending. It's visual clutter and it's never safe to force drivers to read when they don't have to. There are better ways of doing this and our own legislation shouldn't be...

A cinnamon bun shop designed by Kramer. "Levels."

As with the other east-west lines, a significant percentage of riders will be going towards downtown. So the Ontario Line, Stouffville Line, and Kitchener/UP Express will go a long way towards alleviating capacity concerns on Eglinton.

The at-grade portion would be useful to expand the Stouffville line further, even if that's not needed in the near future. A third track would enable express trains. The extra capacity could also be used by HFR if it ever happens and uses that route.
