…except for the aforementioned 3 months of full closure, it’s early-end-of-service and every cold day the tracks froze up? From experience, it wasn’t really a reliable service.

Pretty sure the SRT had issues from day one. See the "problems develop" section of this page: https://transittoronto.ca/subway/5107.shtml The SRT was closed down for three months less than three years after it opened to rebuild platforms and the Kennedy Station turning loop

We do have MAID now for the absolute end, but for the most part we treat both seniors and the disabled terribly up until that point.

Brown/Kraft paper bags can also be composted.

I think I can give the answer: it’s a building. Very few construction projects these days meet the developers own estimates.

I might normally agree, but traffic on Jarvis is related to the success of this project. A better streetscape can make a load of difference, and keeping Jarvis like a pseudo-stroad for getting out of the core isn’t going to help anything. It was already a problem for the previous location and...

Jarvis only justifies its width during rush hour. I live a couple of hundred feet up overlooking the street. It’s damn near dead most times of the day even though it runs through one of the densest parts of the city. That tells me it only exists as an alternative to the DVP, all to the...

I often call it the Rosedale Expressway due to the speed cars drive on it. That said, I’ve seen more police pulling speeders over of late. But I see cars doing 70-80 through the block from Wellesley to Carleton, where there are a whopping *five* schools in spitting distance.

While I’m sure occasionally things have to run long, I’m not sure what’s different between Toronto and others when they can get away with early closures and overnight work. If a single 8-hour day shift is enough during the day, surely an 8-hour overnight shift would suffice? And that proper...

You forgot to add: "…because we still haven't learned from other transit agencies the secret magic that allows maintenance and track work to be done overnight."

My point being racists and homophobes here have a lot of overlap.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure a lot of the anti-LGBT people in this country are also anti-Ghana too.

Two birds, one stone if you will. https://streetsoftoronto.com/people-are-asking-the-ford-government-to-move-therme-spa-to-marineland/

My money is on that 30% thinking this will lead to more homeless encampments or some ridiculous BS like that.

I'm sure its due to the same contingent that always complains about how emergency vehicles will get around all the traffic (quietly ignoring that the problem lies with too many cars on the road)

It’s not relative to Union. Lakeshore Boulevard itself is divided between east and west at Yonge Street, like many of its cross-street thoroughfares are (Bloor, Dundas, Eglinton, St. Clair, Lawrence, etc.). This has been (somewhat) reflected in the naming of TTC subway stations east and west of...

I'm pretty sure shareholders are the only ones celebrating mass automation these days.

And the difference between what’s happening now is?

If your business model only works if you pay full time workers less than a living wage, it’s already broken. Too many businesses nowadays are allowed to survive solely on the exploitation of the public, through under pay, tax loopholes, or over subsidy.

Stock options are considered part of “total compensation”.
