    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    My undertanding from staff comments during the meeting session was that comments from the public were negative to a single stop idea and that they could achieve better connection and ridership with the dual stop model.

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    TTC staff said they would have probably diverted to it if metrolinx had given indication they would be building it. If this a case of metrolinx not being forward about their plans to build further into the future, the the fault lies with them in this miscommunication. Also note that there is...

    Spoke withCity Planning staff at SmartTrack Meeting today about station constraints at proposed St. Clair West and Liberty Village stations. At St Clair they are actively in discussions with the teams looking at bridge widening and other road improvement in the area to make sure their work is...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    With respect to a connection to the proposed Bathurst Yard Satellite station. The TTC was in communication with Mteolinx about whether they would be adding a Bathurst Yard station and Metrolinx responded that they have no intention of doing so right now. As such the TTC no longer needed to...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Spoke with TTC staff at today's meeting about why Osgoode Sation is on east side of university rather than the west. They said that building footings for the office building on the northwest side come out to far too allow for the TTC standard 20 meter station box and building code requirements...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    I agree entirely with what your saying. The UPX is a hotbed of information and yes Metrolinx should be using it for testing purposes in all the ways that you mention. To do so would be short sighted, not necessarily uncommon for them with respect to this project. I am done however with this "Oh...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    as someone who takes the UpExpress from Weston GO to Union for my morning commute quite regularly. i can say that waiting for a GO train which runs every hour through the day is laughable. yes it has higher frequency in the morning peak which makes it competitive. but the second it moves to...

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    The entire area of Eglinton flats including the golf course are in the Humber flood plain. Redevelopment is not possible. That North side bit of Eglinton near Weston got some townhouses like 10(?) Years ago.

    Roads: Bathurst Street Bridge

    With respect to biking over the Bathurst street bridge, it can be dangerous and narrow if you try to stay to the side. sooooooo.... just take the lane. I do it all the time when biking over that bridge and couldn't give less of a damn if some driver is unhappy because I'm in "their" lane. Your...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Interesting thought, could CP now be storing the cars at Agincourt due to past security concerns at Lambton? If so my morning bus rides down Runnymede wont have the same suspense and mystery as they have.

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    That is by and large pretty much it. It is a question of frequency versus speed. On the line there is already bunching along the length of the queen to bloor stretch. It is the case though through my frequent anecdotal experience though that moving cars out of the spadina loop during morning...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    One of the biggest issues with Spadina and running the service is how fast they get cars through the loops, drivers during morning rush will simply stay parked in the pickup area of Spadina Loop with most passengers loaded for a minute or two while a queue of two or more cars wait behind to...

    Maps of Toronto's old rail lines?

    Can anyone comment on whether the Wilson Yard is still in use at all for anything. I recall seeing some ballast and such being added to the spur off the main line towards the Portlands and some materials storage on the Wilson Yard maybe 2 or 3 years ago. Apart from that I have never seen any...
