We need to stop promoting centrally focused business districts, that creates way too much density and directional traffic during rush hour. I find Sheppard to be full of potential because the consumers road area provides for a perfect satellite commercial/office/residential mixed use centre...

In a traffic jam, drivers are doing everyone a favor to use the entire merge lane. Stopping in the middle of the merge lane to squeeze into stand still traffic when there are 400 meters left does nothing other than under utilize available road space.

I think much of this have to do with that rendering. Remember the Zruich relcad received pretty much the same response when it was just starting but that building turned out to be better than people had expected. To be frank I don't think anyone is trying to create architectural masterpieces...

it affects ALOT of people. I use the DVP everyday from Eglinton to Bloor. There was a blocked lane at Dundas today on the DVP and my entire trip from Eglinton took 10 minutes more than usual. This was also out side of proper rush hour (9:45) so I can only imagine how this road will be affected...

If the Tories give the city council an option of funding for Sheppard or nothing, you bet the council will cave. I have no reason to see a conservative government funding a downtown Toronto subway. Maybe they'll Yonge north to hwy 7, but it will likely all happen before the DRL short unless the...

It's probably telling the city to start thinking about what it wants to do before the provinces invest too much resources into the Sheppard LRT. If the city really wants a subway there, the province is probably giving them a nudge to ask the Feds for money to pay for the extra cost ASAP. I see...

Given that the York Region subway wouldn't be built until at least DRL short has been completed, that prospect is at least 2 election cycles away, maybe even 3. Unfortunately, and this is sad, campaign platforms mostly focus on what they can deliver in the short term.

People who lives in down town toronto wants to see the DRL short built. People who lives in northern Scarborough wants Sheppard East and DRL long. DRL, as good as it maybe, doesn't do anything if you live at Sheppard and Kennedy and must travel eastwards. So let's not generalize for all of...

any development along that strip is good development

Sheppard east extension to STC will cross 4 riding, more than west. Therefore west is less likely.

So, with all the screw ups, we should also look at TMG builders and their construction quality. The developer, as much as they are the owner, are likely not the ones who built the building. And I'm sure no developer in their right mind would knowingly skip on fire safety installations because it...

Toronto Star just reported that the 4430 had been delivered.

SRT my friend it really is getting old. Can you give me a Christmas present and allow me to read up on updates to this project without all the negativity until 2017?

Also the fact that problem intersection (like Victoria and Sheppard) are usually so backed up that the bus will get stuck in traffic far before any queue jump lanes begin. Busses will be stuck before an intersection for 3 or 4 light cycles only to be stuck again right after it crosses...

only way this happens is if the conservatives make it their election platform.

That's far from the truth. Bombardier didn't strategically plan to under deliver on their promises. They run into production quality issues that couldn't be resolved on a dime. I love how the Toronto public is under the impression that this company resolves their production issues to meet...

is this project dead? website says project closed.

This is counter productive, if the entire system is being converted to presto reading gates, then why are they installing the old system on brand new entrances.

is it me or did it take Beacon a LONG time to build its foundation.

I don't think Yonge at any point can be treated as a freeway to the 401. Most people would love to avoid Yonge but the problem is the next on-ramp west of Yonge is at the Allen, which is adds 20 minutes to the drive along Sheppard, while driving east to Bayview along Sheppard is just as...
