Just saw this render of Caledonia Station Please tell me they're not going to build this is a single platform station...

I'm just taking the claim where staff think Agincourt is more important to serve than Kennedy, and inhaling all the Hopium I possibly can from it.

I have a moral objection to using the ignore button. I guess its a relative thing, where you're elevating over an existing bridge. Looking at it though, I don't see what the issue would be with just elevating it on the north side of Sheppard, running above the road that connects the parking...

I could've bought that maybe 2 years ago? But it's really hard to believe you when you have a tendency to actively ignore what people tell you. You say 1 thing, people tell you why you're wrong, then 2 pages later you bring up the same point again and keep digging deeper.

TBMs are best used in dense urban areas where you have to cut under buildings, and where roads are impossible to deal with. The prime example are European Downtowns where streets are narrow and a complete mess: You won't be able to build anything cut and cover under Rome for instance. Sheppard...

If we want to do a funny (not an actual suggestion), the median of the Sheppard Ave underpass was built with a future LRT in mind. We could just reuse that as part of the subway extension, and have two portals on either side of the underpass. It's probably not realistic from an engineering/cost...

Specifics? So what? So what?

And on what authority do local businesses have to speak in what they think is best. Historically they're most interested in building nothing at all. The Canada Line in Vancouver. It took 4 years to build (2005 - 2009), and around 10km of which is tunneled, mostly Cut and Cover.

How about those of us who want the project to not be built in a 10 year time period, and who would want a shallow subway where it takes 30s to get from the platform to street level like in Downtown Toronto. Like this might seem like a huge generalization but here goes: Cut and Cover Subways...

Sure, but your insight is about on par. "We need the best option"? Mate really? Such insight, such wisdom.

Man with zingers like that you should run for prime minister, I think you'd fit right in.

Great Idea Thank god this isn't danforth, and the land use/construction conditions/housing prices are significantly different than it was in the 60s.

UGGGGGGGGGHHHHHH Like you're technically not wrong, but consider the fact that C&C construction will also take a lot less time. Like it will be worse than Eglinton is right now, but consider the fact that Eglinton had to have the roads torn open and locked businesses out of much traffic for 6...

Haadhi from More Transit Southern Ontario recently had the opportunity to talk to the project staff and get further clarifications on certain details of the project. Here's what he got: Purpose of This Consultation: The purpose of this consultation and the upcoming business case is to get a...

Regardless, if all of these systems were to be built in Europe, they would be called trams or tram-trains. Only in the Anglosphere did people feel the necessity to invent a brand new term to name these systems.

From a now deleted blog post from 2021

That's precisely the section that its based off, and its arguably the most important part of Manhattan, making up much of the densest segments of the Island, as well as the major destinations such as Penn Station. Like sure, the B/D go to 8th Avenue, but that's mainly Central Park West, not...

The NYC system makes sense though, the colour represents which trunk the line runs through when in Midtown Manhattan, where each letter is effectively a branch of that trunk line. So Blue is 8th Avenue, Orange is 6th avenue, Red is 7th Avenue, Yellow is Broadway, etc.

Worth noting I guess that this could be considered a linguistic difference, since in Russian, "Dark Blue" and "Light Blue" are considered to be 2 wholly separate colours: "синий (sinyiy)" and "голубой (goluboy)"

I mean, we have 2 green lines as well (Kitchener and BD)
