    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Wait, who said the current platforms don't fit 3-car trains? All platforms (surface and underground) are around 95 metres long and there will be a 1/3 unused. It's not even walled off unlike Line 4. Hope people don't stand in the wrong place. I highly doubt people will prefer to transfer to...

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    It only takes 3-4 years to actually build a highway. Half the time is spent on EAs and design. This highway can be done before 2030 if they throw the money at it and not have the feds stop it.

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    You can see how well Ford's priority projects are moving along versus projects handed to them. Examples: Eglinton West Extension: One TBM has completed tunneling. This wasn't even a thing when he was elected. Ontario Line: Major constructions have began Scarborough Extension (revised project...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    You can pretty much get away from 10 km/h above whatever speed limit posted in Ontario. The cops won't spend their time writing you up with a high chance it'll be tossed in court. Just don't do the same with the speed cameras. Those machines have all the time in the world. Speed bumps work way...

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Metrolinx can upload the subway and outsource it. It can't get worst than the bottom of the barrel, can't it?

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    Clearly this city has no posted signs about how King Street works. It would be a major confusion for people unfamiliar. They expect immigrants to know about the streetcar corridor announced from 2017 when they just arrived last year. They know they can't go straight but they do it anyways just...

    Let's hope they were just installed incorrectly and not cause the rail moved after a bunch of test trains went by.

    It didn't go so well in some BC trials and they reduced it back down to 110. They still have some 120 sections. 130 is a rural highway speed only suitable for long distance travels. You won't find that anywhere near the GTA even if they were to trial it. On the German Autobahn, you might find...

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    A red light camera would work very well along with some overhead electronic signage. People still run the red anyways when they realize there is no green phase for them. Also the amount of traffic blocking streetcars towards the priority corridor at Jarvis is also insane. With the detour onto...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    The speed limit would be staying put not because the road can't accommodate faster speed but the volume is too much to support it during most times of the day. 120 to 130 is possible on 69/400 north of Barrie where traffic is light but it's too fast for busy routes where some don't even drive at...

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    We have yet to see Line 5 operate with simulated revenue service level, so we don't really know. This isn't about making one trip across the line but can the trains all stay in service the entire day without breaking the rails/overhead or blowing up the transformer.

    Good thing they limited that to a few weekends. What if Lakeshore West GO line and Line2 are shutdown too while they do that.

    You should be grateful they didn't patch it with asphalt

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Perhaps we are slowly moving towards a Line 2 shutdown. OL and Line 5 along with all the downtown streetcar lines can fill in its shoes.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    Only if we have stricter laws. They all should get their licenses revoked and forced to sell their vehicles for repeated offences. No penalty = keep doing it

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    I hope so, these violators need to be prosecuted. Just saw a someone run a red in the worst fashion this afternoon. There is a right turn signal at Davenport/Avenue with a queue lane for west to north movement allowing protected priority for cyclist. Not only did this idiot turn right on that...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    There's nothing much the city can do if immigration keeps growing in the region. Since the government isn't restricting people coming to the GTA, finance stepped in to do the job. Eventually the lowest income figures out they can't live here and move to another city. Affordable housing isn't...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Every business person wants to make their bang in the buck, not do a one time contribution to society. They are waiting for the right time. Business persons are almost never lefties.

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    I really don't think move the trucks onto the 407 would be sustainable. The government would have to subsidize the toll charges and 407ETR would be charging a pretty penny. They have every rights to say trucks are damaging their roadways and slowing down traffic causing them to lose revenue...

    Everyone squeezing through at Yonge is the worst.
