    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    Other than frequency, level boarding, and Pearson connection, is there anything UP Express trains have over GO trains on Kitchener line for commuting or as rapid transit? Do they have better acceleration and max speed for closer stop spacing from DMU vs locomotive and shorter length? Do they...

    VIVA + York Region Transit

    Google Streetview caught a bike in the bus lane. :D

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Is the platform at Science Centre Station long and wide enough to support the large loads for a split line cross platform transfer operations arrangement?

    VIVA + York Region Transit

    That wait time was greatly reduced with the dedicated bus lanes and vertical white bar transit signal phase, but Viva Purple was cut back to Richmond Hill Centre a year after that section of rapidway opened so it couldn't make use of it for very long. I believe Viva Orange westbound now uses...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    There are guaranteed to be jaywalkers who go west instead of east to cross Eglinton unless there is enforcement. This will be just like the Viva stop "at" Yonge and Major Mackenzie, but at least it won't be a major transfer location.

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | Metrolinx

    There were plans to have dedicated Viva lanes from Promenade Terminal to Finch Station as shown in the map from 2017, but that has since been removed the last one I saved and the current one.

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Wouldn't they need to redo the whole sign since Eglinton East should be represented by LRT train rather than subway train?

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Reminds me of Viva Purple. :p

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

    So nice of those pedestrians to pose for Street View. Although if you rotate the camera 180 degrees you'll see the island is unpaved when the photo was taken.

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Is this considered parking in the bike lane?

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Unidirectional fare gates means dedicated enter and exit gates right? This prevents people from opposing directions trying to go through the same gate, thus increasing flow rate. Green arrow for those you can go through from your direction and red X for those you can't. The number of enter and...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    I personally don't want it as it could reduce safety, but I can understand drivers who are annoyed by left turn only on green arrow signals not being able to turn when road and sidewalk are empty or on yellow light.

    VIVA + York Region Transit

    Don't you mean the "York Region deserves a third TTC Subway Line and we can show it" VIVA route? :p
  14. Leo_Chan

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Is there something in the regulations that allows dedicated left turn signals in peak hours and "free for all on thru green" outside of peak? Or is that simply a technology limitation where it cannot be done unless the dedicated lights and sign can rotate out of sight or disappear?
  15. Leo_Chan

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    At least all subway transfers are underground, the entire corridor is double tracked, and the platforms can support 3 car trains.

    Markham Toronto | Buttonville Airport Redevelopment | ?m | 1s | Cadillac Fairview | Glenn Piotrowski Architect

    I like that this updated development proposal matches the region's plan for the 16th Ave interchange reconfiguration. Requiring a turn coming from Allstate Pkwy (same with Renfrew Dr but to a lesser degree) to get to 16th Ave feel like a disadvantage to the street network, but if that reroute...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Are there multiple staircases from platform to south side Steeles Ave? Or just one stairs and one elevator per platform per side of street?
