While far from perfect. I think it's an improvement over the previous proposal. It's too bad the artistry park and this one aren't next to each other. St Patrick has a bit of green with mature trees and this park will provide a green entrance to the street. I think it could work in the end. This...

Doesn't sounds like it to me. If operator training hasn't started yet, I would assume an early 2025 opening. Drum might have some insight?

IIRC, you can find that info on Steve Munro's site. I remember him doing that analysis and it being slower post ROW. If you consider all the new left hand turns, you can see it making sense.

Different context. Can't apply the same rules.

While I don't think bike lanes should be that far west, we can't judge yet. Right now the lanes are too new. After the downtown network of properly protected lanes is completed (hopefully this year) we will be in a better place to judge. Do the same analysis in July 2026 and we'd be in a better...

Errr.. Just paid $3k for repairs on my vehicle. Annual maintenance alone typically exceeds $2K. Guessing that you'd potentially be driving with undiagnosed issues. Add on top insurance, parking, gas, depreciation and I can see how some people can get to 10K. I was curious so I just my average...

Sort of related to your first points. I've gone to St Jamestown daily this week and something that surprised me was the number of multi seat electric bikes. There seems to be a much higher density of these vehicles in this area for personal use then I have noticed anywhere else in Toronto.

Winter is no longer an excuse for Toronto at least. We barely got snow this year (thank you climate change?). This has been my best winter by far for biking.

Toronto doesn't have a good solution due to the nature of our road system. We need some streets to allow for fast movement around the city and others should allow for fast bike travel across the city. Due to where our bike lanes are setup, we should have some of the other streets like Dundas...

It's not cutting the road capacity in half. At all times, whenever there is a second lane, there is someone illegally parked there which dramatically backs up traffic at rush hour. In addition to that, we have our usual construction anywhere and everywhere.

Lots of bikes in midtown today

That's interesting setups. I have a personal bike but I essentially never use it (not once this year) so I'll probably be selling it.

@drum118 Could there be a connection at Dupont instead of Summerhill? They seem pretty close and the west side of line 1 likely has the capacity.

I think Toronto's cycling modal share is a couple years away from a bump. As better infrastructure is put in and awareness increases, cycling will begin to takeoff. When I have conversations about bikeshare, I tell people I pay about $100 (corporate). They assume per month. I tell them it's...

Just now

Has there been any discussion of which routes the 340 eBuses will run? I can't wait for these quieter and no pollution buses on the street

They do have a press conference for basically anything right? 🤣

I believe they need to officially hand it over to the TTC? I assume they'd have a press conference for that.

Seems pretty much done. Anybody know whether an opening announcement will be coming soon?

Doesn't say how fast the express trip will be. I believe the current trip is about 25 minutes? That would make the express potential less than 20 minutes which is pretty amazing.
