    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    It's called connecting link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecting_Link It's a program where Ontario pays the cities to subsidies maintenance of those roadway and are designed as provincial highways.

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    Look no further than the 427. Plenty of weaving and RIRO ramps on the collectors. It's quite difficult to navigate for unfamiliar drivers.

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway

    The trick was to spot the length of the queue when coming down the ramp. Make a lane change to the right and a quick manoeuvre onto Logan if clear and use Commissioners to get on Carlaw. Then to avoid lengthy delays on Carlaw cause everyone is making a left to Eastern those days, you either...

    Imagine what one operator had a bad case of diarrhea would do to the line.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    The problem with Dupont St is all the condo and road work are popping up creating lane closures making the road very difficult to transverse. Buses are often late and large gaps are created driving riders to opt for a direct connect to the subway instead. It also makes less sense to use such a...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    If you look at this topographic map: https://en-ca.topographic-map.com/map-kcz57/Toronto/?center=43.68408%2C-79.51082&zoom=16 Scarlett Rd is a good 8-10m above the river. The portal is a good 20m above the river. If it's going to flood, the reason would be a major hurricane stalled over the GTA...

    The term light rail is just a concept which differs vastly with different implementations. It's just a modernization of streetcars adopted for faster travel. It is the North American implementation of German Stadtbahn systems. Line 5 is light rail cause the technology isn't design for linking...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Line 2 trains used to be able to reach over 90 km/h eastbound towards Old Mill Station as trains head downhill till they enforced the speed.

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

    It's the way how the project is delivered. If tunnelling and station excavation occurred at the same time like every other project in the work including the Sheppard subway and TYSSE, it could been a 2015 start and we are in the 8th year. Instead they came up with this stupid delivery method to...

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

    Demands on this route is very local. A packed full bus at Wilson can have plenty of seats south of Eglinton. It shows that low income riders stay in their neighbourhood. The split is introduced to reallocate service to North of Eglinton. Jane South will have a wider headway.

    Too many lefties that support this lives on or this crap would have ended long ago. Clearly if someone did some economic analysis, they can optimize when to overhaul and when to replace.

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    There is a streetcar route shortage for sure. They need to hurry up and operate more lines.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    The biggest problem is bus layovers not boarding platforms. If you only go north to St Clair, you can board any northbound buses. The 41 Keele is a very slow route and can take up to half an hour to get to Lawrence. Most people who need to go half way through the route would have used the 52...

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

    The problem is the single-occupant automobile making a left from Weston to Lawrence in front while a 89 loads on the right blocks the entire roadway as there isn't a dedicated left turn lane. It is also true on Lawrence eastbound holding up traffic for an entire light cycle. However, Lawrence...

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

    They could convert the middle lane to a bus turning lane if they want. All the cars can stay on the right lane if they want to go straight. Weston/Lawrence is a major bottleneck. That one is hard to fix. The 97 Yonge also on the 10 ten worst performer. We can see them delete parallel bus...

    The TTC is not in charge of the bus shelters in this city. So we can give them a pass here.

    I’m not surprised seeing the intersection is just a construction zone. There is no way it would be done this month in that state.

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

    Two years ago when they did the survey, people demanded for one along the surface portion. Thus the 34 is extended from Science Centre to Kennedy. There doesn't seem to be any branches either. It's one service running for the entire line. I'll expect the service to discontinue, as least in...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    It will suck if you need to ride around the current loop. They are actually surveying on do you support the idea of implementing this "Line 6 bus network" plan oppose to supporting the specific route change which is supposedly finalized. That was last year's ASP. I don't know what kind of...
