Yeah, I mean the whole system is grade separated. For all intents and purposes the Skytrain is essentially a subway. Not to mention the soil and other realities make building transit there cheaper. Let's also not forget all the investment pumped into two of those cities mentioned for winter...

I'm guessing VMC based on two trains stopped at the station, typical of terminal stations.

Unfortunately you're living in a fantasy world. Density and built-form are a product of ever-changing government policy and market forces. Just within the last 5 years the cost of a single-detached home has vastly grown beyond attainability for even the middle class, and it's also no longer...

Tried to take this extension during the PM peak yesterday, unfortunately signal issues closed the line down. Came back south lat AM Peak from Finch West and noticed going southbound i'd say 90% of all the seats were already filled. Doesn't really mean much than just my anecdotal experience...

Nice, have fun, the 'whoosh' sound when you go on a HSR is thrilling.

There is data, it's qualitative. Maybe it doesn't pass your litmus test for a valid data source (which of course is your right), but it's certainly no different than the pages of posts on here by you or I talking about first-hand qualitative experiences along the corridor, or the reams of...

Oh, they study and model the line with signal priority to justify spending less on the line and making it an LRT at-grade, but when it comes to actually operating the line I'll bet my top dollar there won't be any signal priority.

Gotta love this forum. People will be yelling up and down the street when any data supports bike lanes or LRT, but the second any inkling of data suggests that *gasp* we may need to go back to drawing board on King Street regarding impacts to businesses, it's automatically assumed they're lying...

So reading back through my initial post I'm deeply embarrassed by how juvenile I sounded (maybe I need to add a few more LOLs to my sentences :p). I'm pleased to say I did end up going to UW for planning and completed co-op during my time there. It opened up a bunch of doors and opportunities...

Not sure what the cost would be for this, but I have to imagine it's relatively cheap when compared to other things...not to mention they're building like 12 condos right beside this station, how come no deal can be made with the developer to help pay for shifting the station a few metres north...

I believe the original date was 2019-2020

If you want to see a movie and you're using the subway you'd likely go to Yorkdale. For people in York Region, the VIVA access to silver City Richmond Hill and Colossus is good.

I've seen entire capital works and EA projects proceed on less data than this survey. I'm not saying you're wrong, but simply discounting the data because it asked a subject question would lead to any survey you typically see during a transportation study being discounted. They are inherently...

I've heard the City is using Moneris data to analyse the King St Pilot. Also, all of what you said may be true, and it may also be true that retailers are experiencing a downturn that happens to coincide with the Pilot introduction. It doesn't mean retailers are full of bologna. If the...

yea, I mean I think most people can relate with getting a random urge to use the washroom for whatever reason. It's a quality of life improvement for customers. I'm sure it costs money...maybe as someone else mentioned, allowing people to use PRESTO to pay $1 or so to use the facilities and...

They could easily just have an algorithm in place that doesn't let you use profane language, not to mention based on the on-screen simulation of what happens, it looks like words scroll by pretty quickly (definitely too quick to snap a picture). I think it's a cool idea. But yes, maybe having...

I live on Dufferin and I'm a 15 minute walk from Eglinton West subway station. After you factor in the walk time and the need to transfer anyway from the subway it only ends up saving ~5 minutes. That's a comparison even with the Dufferin bus stopping at every.single.stop all the way to King...

I've heard from colleagues that the westbound University Avenue stop has been moved to near-side. We shall see if this improves things at all.

I've always thought the Sheppard connection had merit because of the needed redundancy in the network and for east-west access to York U, and Yorkdale which are big employers.

Did you ever think that maybe that some of the parking will be for the adjacent YRT bus terminal/subway station? Not to mention even urban centres remain to have parkades for vehicles despite public transit. Parking is one of the easiest land uses to convert.
