a big red bridge would be pretty sweet, but if they do that, there should be a couple of separate bridges specifically for pedestrians and cyclists in the area, because a road bridge like that is never pleasant.
sorry i mean put the road under the railway tracks.
Underpasses are rarely desirable to pedestrians and cyclists though.
It's better in the winter than crossing an overpass.
Dear neighbours,
I would like to share with you visual representations of the streetscape based on the City of Toronto's and MetroLinx's proposals for the Strachan Avenue Grade Separation. These show the two very different and competing visions of the future look of these important intersections.
Attached, please find four visuals developed from a pedestrian viewpoint:
A. Looking east to Strachan Avenue on Douro Street: 1) the City of Toronto proposal and 2) the MetroLinx proposal.
B. Looking east at the railway crossing: 3) the City of Toronto proposal and 4) the MetroLinx proposal.
Seeing is believing. I think you will agree that City of Toronto proposal is the ONLY proposal that works for our community. Please send, or resend, messages to:
rob.macisaac@metrolinx.com,

Thank you and please contact me for further information.
Sincerely,
Joe Pantalone
Deputy Mayor
City of Toronto
Would the city be willing to pay the extra $100 million to see their vision fulfilled?
The Metrolinx option is just pure rubbish. This cannot be allowed to happen. I bet the owners of the properties facing Strachan are livid over the possibility of having the views outside their window turned into a precast wall.
Sucks to be in the townhomes on the west of Strachan north of Douro.
