And we wonder why stops and stations always have too much salt or are never cleared

TTC is planning on new locations for the poles to support the OS as well a new system for it. Why spend time and money fixing it when it will be replace in phases. System wide, those OS areas should be fix by now since we are 3 years behind schedule already.From the photos, the track is torn up so I am not sure why anyone would put on more workers to speed completion date of the overhead above it. I agree that, in general, updating the overhead has been painfully slow but suggest that any staff they have would be best to work on completing overhead on active track than over a construction site. As long as it's done when it can be used!
They have them at Victoria park station too. It's a lot easier to have them at stations where they are going to be used a lot vs a streetcar loop that doesn't see a lot of usage all of the time.Don't tell anyone. At the future Mt. Dennis Station for Line 5, there will be TSP at the bus entrance/egress intersection at Keelesdale Dr./Photography Dr. and Eglinton Ave. W..
If a station is not used a lot, that means the car traffic will get a l-o-n-g green. Only turning red to allow the streetcar/bus to go and sneak in. Could mean the streetcar or bus may actually be on time for once. May allow the pedestrian to cross over as well, instead of jaywalking in front of cars.They have them at Victoria park station too.

Broadview is no lightly used streetcar loop, though.They have them at Victoria park station too. It's a lot easier to have them at stations where they are going to be used a lot vs a streetcar loop that doesn't see a lot of usage all of the time.
Of course they can. Like how TSP used to work on Queens Quay. It’s just that this city is backwards.Broadview is no lightly used streetcar loop, though.
Couldn't they have transponders that trigger the light priority? If no streetcar is coming, the light doesn't change.
Probably not because most TTC stations are fairly close to an intersection already and adding an extra set of lights isn't going to happen it would be like if we put lights at every street that crosses a major street.Broadview is no lightly used streetcar loop, though.

They can't even get this working at the entrance/exit of the loop inside St. Clair West Station. Nothing worse than sitting and waiting on a streetcar or bus to finally depart the station, but then it has to stop for 30 seconds at a red light waiting for the zero other vehicles moving in any direction to clear.Of course they can.

Erindale isn't close enough to Danforth to make this a factor. And again, if no one needs the light, it doesn't get activated.Probably not because most TTC stations are fairly close to an intersection already and adding an extra set of lights isn't going to happen it would be like if we put lights at every street that crosses a major street.
This is exactly how it works at most of the signalized exits to subway stations.Couldn't they have transponders that trigger the light priority? If no streetcar is coming, the light doesn't change.
This can be a problem, and it's almost certainly the problem at Broadview. The issue isn't with Danforth, but rather with the intersection to the north at Pretoria. That intersection is a shade over 100m away from Erindale, and the City's rules regarding signalized intersections require a minimum distance of - if I recall correctly - 150m between two of them.Probably not because most TTC stations are fairly close to an intersection already and adding an extra set of lights isn't going to happen it would be like if we put lights at every street that crosses a major street.
It would seem like something WELL worth looking into as the delays for streetcars at the Broadview/Erindale exit are often quite long. At some point (soon?) the Green P is supposed to go and the TTC loop expanded to properly support two busy streetcar lines. That might be when to do it?This is exactly how it works at most of the signalized exits to subway stations.

The other issue is that as Erindale is a two-way street, and so a transit vehicle-activated traffic signal wouldn't work there. Perhaps if it was changed to one way eastbound from Broadview to Ellerbeck or the Green P lot, it may be able to be signalized.

Like the traffic signals on Queen Street West, one at Yonge Street, another for pedestrians crossing between Eaton Centre & The Bay, and another at Bay Street?Probably not because most TTC stations are fairly close to an intersection already and adding an extra set of lights isn't going to happen it would be like if we put lights at every street that crosses a major street.
