Ontario's porn industry going to see a big boom in the coming years. No more basket-weaving for these youngsters, haha.

The legacy of Jane Jacobs lives on.

Buses crossing intersections every 2-3 minutes in each direction with signal priority, sounds like a great idea.

"Downtown Markham" was always a specific masterplanned community by The Remington Group within the wider Markham Centre. Downtown Markham by The Remington Group: Markham Centre:

A 4km route having 8-9 minute frequency is amazing. Usually such short routes can only act as feeder, not very useful. This obviously not a minor route, extend it beyond 4km and ridership will skyrocket, whether bus or streetcar.
