    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Guess they ran out of white numbers in Kingston for the one above the front windshield?

    Anyone have any details on the work being done on the south side roof? Looks like they are putting a new membrane over the old in some sections.

    Toronto Toronto | Kingston&Co Condominiums | 38.4m | 10s | TAS | Teeple Architects

    I'm three blocks over...if I'm out and about tomorrow I'll snap a few pics. The retail is still unfinished. Rumours of a Starbucks moving in (the one from Bingham moving over) are apparently not true. The awning over the sidewalk is still not completed either. There were also neighbourhood...

    Liberty Village pedestrian link

    As of this morning, excavation has started on the north side of the tracks on Douro.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    That cycling increase might be at least partially related to the expansion of Bikeshare as well as the absolute terrible state of the cycle track on Adelaide thanks to construction through the core and also on the east side from Jarvis to Parliament.

    Gusto 501 (501 King St E, 4s, Partisans)

    Significant progress of late. The steel started going up recently, and quickly. Pic from today (Nov. 8)

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    You can't mess around with payments technology. People are paying real money for these cards and they have to be very close to 100% reliable or you've got a big problem. I'm happy to see them doing the real world testing with staff before making them generally available.

    Forum Upgrade

    Thanks for all the work on the upgrade...change is always tough. Couple of things (one not related to the upgrade): 1. Would it be possible to "unsticky" some of the stickied posts? Many go back years and they take up a lot of space at the top of each forum, pushing the real new content far...

    Toronto Toronto | 65 King Street East | 82.9m | 18s | Carttera | WZMH

    The trees, yeah. The traffic lane is less of a big deal given this is within the King St. Pilot and there are similar lane restrictions all across King.

    Signage is up at the former CIBC announcing the Starbucks.

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    That was a first for me. An all Flexity ride from work in Liberty Village to home (504 short turn to Sumach and the 503 Tripper). Only another three or four years until I can do that daily.

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Getting back to the streetcars, I rode 4470 all the way up Kingston Road to Bingham loop this afternoon as a 503.

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    It's entirely possible that the operator saw the flooding starting, stopped before the underpass and then over the next few minutes it rose quickly and flooded the car. It's not like they can just throw it in reverse at a moment's notice and back up to get away. I've seen them operating the...

    Toronto Toronto | XO Condos | 53.64m | 14s | Lifetime | Core Architects

    They are drilling core samples on the north-west corner of the site today (in the McDonald's parking lot next to the sidewalk). There's also signage up on the ex-BMO bank building on the corner - just wrapped around the old BMO backlit signs. Building is still featuring "retail space for lease"...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    That's pure speculation based on zero evidence other than your personal bias. It could just as easily be vacations within the TTC testing staff, or a deliberate delay on the TTC side since they are expecting a dip in deliveries coming out of the shutdown in Thunder Bay. It could also be related...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    I learned the hard way that this applies on th 504 diversion runs as well. Seems some (all?) of the 503 cars known as 504B these days are 504 in Presto and tapping from a 504 short turning at distillery and then onto a 504B (aka 503) heading up to Bingham results in a double charge.
