Berlin is a pretty cool city to ride along the S-Bahn and view it from the elevated railway. Overall I'd say it's got a great network of cycling facilities, but you still can't come close to what the Netherlands and Denmark have going for them. Although I would much prefer to strive toward a...

At the stations I use regularly the accessible entrances are of the new fare gate variant and they accept presto and will allow you to exit just by walking toward them.

Actually, I didn't notice that the right axis coincided with the small dot on the charts. It's also strange, since it looks like streets that had Sharrows installed were already streets that had higher bike ridership and already had lower injury levels compared to streets that had no...

I mean it's not even in the same realm as parking in an accessible space which forces someone with a disability to use an inaccessible spot. Walking through an accessible gate does not prevent or take away the opportunity for a person with a disability to exit from an accessible gate. It's not...

Not sure what benefit a bike lane through this park would provide. where would it take people that isn't already served by the existing infrastructure? I don't see people clamouring to get to Bathurst/Front as it stands and with the Bentway Park that may be a more appropriate place to put bike...

I believe that based on the HTA advanced turning arrows are only meant for movements where the vehicle has the right of way and should theoretically be unimpeded. For emphasizing right-turn only you would use signs with a simple green light (no arrows). Thus I'm inclined to believe they will...

I'm interested in finding out how they plan to address the Bathurst/King intersection. Right now it's already a shitshow between streetcars stopping nearside on the eastbound approach combined with the left-turning vehicles. Are westbound vehicles going to be forced to turn right or will they...

Seems smart that they're trying to bundle this project into a transit-building project as well. Looks like it will have two Smart Track stations (Spadina and Bathurst).

Does anybody know if Dutch Intersections are even legally allowed to be put in place according to the Highway Traffic Act and Standards?

Not of a fan of these bikeways. One of the reasons we want protected bike lanes is to bring attention to the mode of transportation. As it stands one could be forgiven for misinterpreting the separated portions as just an extended walking path or a snow storage path. I think if they had put...

It's probably someone at the City who took the design drawings and put them upside down when they added the City of Vaughan template and frame. The hint is that usually, North isn't facing downward.

It takes me 15 minutes less Biking from Eglinton to Bathurst/King than it takes by Transit. The ride back though....sucks

Isn't Steve Munro on the stakeholder committee for this study? So wouldn't he have a better pulse of what's really going on?

What exactly are they doing here? Adding a storage section for cyclists waiting to cross?

To be fair, I bet you, most people in Scarborough would probably support NOT having a transfer here just like you. So I don't understand why you're trying to inject some sort of Us vs Them subtext to this study with regards to this.

They cited aesthetic reasons. I imagine as the portal creates a visual and physical barrier between the north/south sides of QQ in the immediate area.

I saw what looks like advanced right-turn signals at King/Portland being installed. Maybe it has something to do with the pilot?

I was at the meeting last night, and to be honest the rationale for why they are proposing to shift the LRT south to Lakeshore at Colborne Lodge seemed pretty thin and I'd be interested in the cost comparison considering the prefferred option requires a rejigging of Lakeshore Eastbound lanes to...

Honestly, EAs are built, often, on outdated transportation demand models that could be using outdated assumptions or outdated population and employment numbers. Not saying they're useless, just that depending on the political appetite certain assumptions can be modified to make certain...

However, I will say the consultants SDG are quite reputable, and most reports I've seen from them are thorough and comprehensive. They usually do a good job, so I'll reserve judgement until I see the justification for alternatives.
