I was thinking more that we should allow cyclists to proceed straight from the right turn lane. And I am previously a very frequent cyclists on city streets and I had (at some point) committed the sins that I had mentioned in my posts. However I made my actions fully aware of the danger in...

that area is beside an industrial park, shopping mall, and apartment buildings. If we can't build density here, then where else?

Cyclists are legally not allowed to pass right turning cars on the right, which means they are only in danger if they put themselves in danger. The proper approach for a bicycle at any intersection should be to line up behind cars and follow the traffic. Or use the bicycle lanes on Richmond and...

wow that reporter deserve an award. This is the best piece of reporting on anything that I've seen in a while. Although I suspect Bathurst to Jarvis on Queen in the afternoon may take longer.

I've always suspected that it's a parking lot issue. I think one of the biggest failures of Bazis is the fact that they built their public garage to the min specifics, which doesn't leave a lot of room to maneuver. I can't imagine how that parking lot will look like with shopping carts, people...

I was reading the cover letter in the development application. It first mentions that this is going to be a 39 storey infill rental building, however everything on the drawings say it's a condominium. What am I understanding wrong? Could this be a condominium owned 100% by the developer? and I...

how does snow clearing work on those studded strips. to me you either kill the shovel or you kill the strip.

I actually hope they create permanent curbs at street car stops fully protected with barriers and planters (with trees). The ramp is because passengers need to walk across a bike lane, which on King street doesn't exist. Everytime you create a ramp there is a chance someone would drive/ride onto...

I hope she gets fined. there must be something in the highway traffic act that disallows pedestrians from blocking motorways.

If the conservatives win, this is the first project that gets cancelled. Infact in their platform, I would expect money from this to be dedicated to Yonge Subway to Highway 7 and/or Sheppard extension East, which touches 4 or 5 ridings that they could win.

I actually find the LED lit version to be more ineffective. The doted LED lights are very bright and sometimes create a blinding effect that makes the sign harder to discern. the signs need to be bigger. Make the pictogram it self the full height of the traffic light and put words "buses...

There need to be big thick arrows on the street car lane indicating to cars that they need to merge right. It can't just be a yellow stripe zone, that's too hard to see for motorists not already expecting it. There should also be barriers protecting the streetcar loading area from...

was transit priority lights a part of the pilot? I thought it was just usage restriction.

I believe when you posted this, the pilot had only been officially running for 4 hours. Have you tried waiting for 5 hours to see if it’s working? Or God forbid a couple of weeks for people to catch on? People need to understand the pilots are test runs. You start slow and make adjustments to...

this is a pilot test though.

Maybe I was in the wrong area. But I did not see any dominate networks of bike lanes or large number of bicycle commuters anywhere in downtown st Petersburg. St Petersburg suburbs have more in common with Vaughan. And my comments on Copenhagen was that the number of cyclists I saw in its...

I was in St Petersburg last month. Didn't see many cyclists at all, in fact I saw less cyclists in St Petersburg than I see in Toronto. So I'm not sure where our disconnect is. Even in Copenhagen, the so called bicycle capital, i saw significantly less bicycles on the street than compared to...

With all these comments about cycling in the winter, I wonder if everyone who make these comments really are cyclists. Commuting on a bicycle on winter roads is not an enjoyable experience in any respect. 1. You need to deal with the windchill that comes with speed which makes everything...

That I agree. I suspect as these type of highly integrated projects becomes more abundant, we would see better results with each iteration. I had no intention on attacking TMG, just pointing out the fact that the builder and designers as well as the developer all had learnings to do. e condos...

Yes, can you let me know which project TMG (I'm talking about the company, not the owner) worked on prior to Emerald park that had this level of retail/office/residential integration and a direct access to the subway station? The developer, being the owner, is ultimately accountable. However if...
