    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Question for those who have seen the signage in the flesh - is the line colour closer to the former Line 3 colour? Or is it closer to what Metrolinx had originally proposed for the Ontario Line:

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    They're coming, slowly but surely as stations are renovated/wayfinding updated. Old Elm GO - https://www.google.ca/maps/@43.9909538,-79.2348821,3a,19.5y,232.73h,90.83t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sn2-_57pvnJUTLMYokE_i6g!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Adjustment to match service [with projected ridership demand] = increasing/decreasing service frequency (and thus capacity) of routes to match demand (as seen from analyzed ridership statistics). Service reliability improvements = adjusting run times (the time between timing points, which...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    The initial business case for the Ontario Line mentions that it assumes a Sheppard East subway extension with six stations, which Metrolinx doesn't go into details about. It'll likely be the same six analyzed in the original Sheppard Subway environmental assessment's McCowan alignment (which...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    These were the studied alignments - your memory was spot on, with the alignment and station at Yorkland/Consumers selected as the recommended layout. From the Sheppard Subway Environmental Assessment (1992)

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    Don't mean to revive a months-old conversation from the dead, but something out of Waterloo Region that caught my eye: From: Looks like the first such implementation of this type of infrastructure in Ontario - looks like a safer method of handling transit rider-cyclist interactions and I...

    Metrolinx: Other Items (catch all)

    Funnily enough, Metrolinx settled on the T roundel only after almost selecting a double chevron symbol, which, well, looks a lot like SEPTA's traditional and recently revamped transit symbol: From KerrSmith Design From SEPTA

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    You have a promising career as a consultant for Metrolinx

    Metrolinx: Other Items (catch all)

    I would expect more signage to accompany it in the near future with additional information about transit services. From Metrolinx's Wayfinding manual:

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    So this is what Brampton wants instead of the GTA West Corridor. A 104.25 metre right of way lol.

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    Bang on. From my experience people working in transit (TTC, Metrolinx, engineering firms, consulting firms) really dislike transit enthusiasts (even though many are transit enthusiasts themselves). I don't always agree, but I can see why people who spend 4-6 years getting an education in...

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    The same consultants behind TfL's Legible London initiative as well as TransLink's wayfinding/branding are the ones behind the latest Metrolinx wayfinding/branding initiative. Definitely know where the "T" came from!

    Metrolinx: Other Items (catch all)

    I think he's referring to the lettered naming system attached to each line used by the Paris RER system and like what is proposed in the wayfinding manual.

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s

    I think the "T" will be slowly finding itself to most rapid transit facilities in the GTHA. The T works well (but maybe not the best) in creating a standard symbol for rapid transit for the entire region short of having an existing brand (such as the TTC) becoming a region-wide indicator for...

    Metrolinx: Other Items (catch all)

    From the Metrolinx wayfinding guidelines: Looks like GO rail lines are going to receive a letter designation sometime in the future: They're going all in with the new T's as well it seems. I personally don't mind it:

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Noticed this in the latest Metrolinx wayfinding design guidelines: A sneak peak at preliminary(?) branding for the Hurontario Line (and also the Ontario Line and cancelled Hamilton Line)

    Metrolinx: Sheppard East LRT (In Design)

    That's something I've always wondered about - aren't there sharper turns on Line 1 east and west of Union? I'm just comparing the sharp turns proposed in the downtown section of the proposed Ontario Line and the Line 1 overlay provided in this map. Forgive me if it's a dumb question, I'm...

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

    Thanks! Here's what the plans for the office development they were planning to build there would have looked like, scuttled by the cancellation of the subway and the recession: Credit to ACO Toronto and Bob Krawcyzk for that photo. https://www.acotoronto.ca/show_building.php?BuildingID=603

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

    Here's a rendering of what could have been with the original Eglinton West subway proposal from 1993 (this was scanned from the environmental assessment of the project) that I compiled for one of my pet projects. History repeats itself!
