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

    They are the same cars but 7 segments. Ours are two pairs of 5 segment cars.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Do you have any insight into why this stopped at Pharmacy? And not Vic Park? I get after that there is the 404 and they need to figure out a way to cross that (id go north up the grass boulevard of Gorden Baker and then across on McNicolls overpass), but it seems weird to me to stop this project...

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

    Not to mention you get a nice break every time the train goes underground and into ATC. That information would not be publically available though, id imagine. But I agree that internally the employees would be trying to get moved to the LRT.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    They will probably put bike crossings with signals here next to the ped ex. Its a bit unusual, none of the other hydro MUPS (the rest of Finch or Gatineau) use this method of crossing at the light. (except for some rare instances) but certainly not every single road crossing. My only guess is...

    VIA Rail

    Corporations run the government, not the people. CN is one of the biggest companies in the world. Canadian government bows to them and their lobbyists. To make matters worse, CN was once a crown corporation and has many nice nepo connections to the government still.

    Toronto Toronto | 289 Balliol | 110.2m | 31s | Menkes | Turner Fleischer

    Is this typical? Do you know if 265 Balliol aka 235 Balliol had geothermal installed?

    Toronto Toronto | 289 Balliol | 110.2m | 31s | Menkes | Turner Fleischer

    I live down the street and the houses on this property have been demolished and the ground has been levelled and covered with fine gravel. No idea when digging will start but they are definitely prepped for it.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Eglinton has signal priority, no one ever said it didn't. It just has been greatly reduced in its efficacy. Same with Finch.

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Ridership on many streets downtown is too high for buses. The King streetcar has an annual ridership of 13.5 million people. That's more than some subway systems in the world. When you start getting into double bendy buses to serve that need, the advantages of buses starts to break down...

    GO Richmond Hill Line

    The Finch corridor trail as well for the Barrie Line. Technically its next to a road but thats the Finch Busway, its only for buses not normal traffic. https://maps.app.goo.gl/eNoGWadPVcJQgfNJ8 I can show you on streetview because some weirdo has been going around and creating google...

    Montréal Transit Developments

    Is there any plan, even conceptual, to continue that line to Dorval rail station? Seems like a huge mistake to not connect to that station.

    East Don Trail Project

    If you live on a street with a lot of condo construction you could see that our regular roads can't handle the weight of big trucks either.

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

    This is exactly why. The 97 Bus only exists because the original TTC plan of stations at Blythwood and Yonge Blvd (or nearby I forget the exact streets) were met with opposition both from NIMBYS in the area and rising costs. The stations are quite far apart, and besides the North York Centre...

    VIA Rail

    How much would adding more train cars to the Ventures cost in comparison? Anyone know a ballpark figure? One comes with the advantage of more seating and the other does not.

    It does but the alternative was just opening the whole thing in 2025

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

    Would be an asinine project but the engineer in me would love ac water holding tanks on the Flexities that activate from the PTC control in the tunnels turning on and then slowly release the extra AC water over the grass when the PTC is disconnected. Way more complicated and expensive than just...
