Hard to skip stops as streetcars are much larger than buses and have FAR more passengers and some passengers may want to get off and once the doors are open......

Yes, each crossing is different and no doubt some get upgraded because other work is happening in the area and the work is done at the same time.

At the monthly St Lawrence Neighbourhood Association meeting last night Liam Sauro of the Lee Chow Group (new owners of Flat Iron building) gave an outline of the work that they are doing on the building. This is primarily an outside (skin) restoration and they have already installed a new roof...

Here's the presser.. https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1006985/ontario-investing-over-100-million-in-northlander-rail-infrastructure

Yes, the street plows often push snow onto the sidewalks (sometimes so much the sidewalk plows cannot cope) and the intersections are always a problem as snow gets pushed into windrows. You are correct, that patience is required and the City is really getting better at it.

Intersections always take a few days to get cleared for pedestrians and mobility scooters. It was same in Montreal, who are generally better at snow clearing. Could they be cleared faster? Of course but it will always take longer.

The BRIDGE REPLACEMENT is moving onwards - MAYBE after it's done the City will repave? It's Councillor Fletcher's Ward so people may want to email her?? Councillor Fletcher <councillor_fletcher@toronto.ca>

The TTC currently has far too many streetcars, why spend $$ on repairing a few of them if they will then sit unused or under-used? Of course, one day they WILL need all of them and then they will not be able to catch up with these more major rebuilds. It's called "planning' at the TTC.

Reminder

You have put a really disgusting image into my mind, off to take a bleach-bath! :->

Yes, Basin Street is in the middle of a regeneration area' and if/when the Media Hub takes off it will be fixed. In fact, the City repaved Bouchette Street last fall (the street you need to use to get to/from Basin). Unwin is an actual through road and really is a mess. I realise it first...

Yes, you posted the URL, my post added the explanatory part of the TTC announcement so that UTers could get better idea of what the presentation will deal with more easily - I assume the full presentation might be posted after the meeting.

This gives some clues.. This too

It’s a WT photo and I have seen it, or similar, before In some WT document or website.

Coming to C of A tomorrow...
