Case in point: the Ontario line going from Queen & Spadina to King & Bathurst

The planned stations are on Bloor (Lansdowne) and Eglinton (Caledonia). If you're adding additional ones, there should be one on King or Queen also.

Have you been on Dufferin in the last decade? Dufferin & Dupont: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/toronto-galleria-on-the-park-154m-48s-almadev-hariri-pontarini.23643/ Dufferin & Bloor...

I've always thought that the streetcar network map that they post on streetcars and the subway is actually a fantasy map because the streetcars never actually run as advertised

I think you're confusing High Park Blvd. (middle of the Roncy neighbourhood) with Howard Park Ave (streetcar interchange between 504 and 506)

Exactly -- anyone doubting this should check out Bloor GO station and see how many people get on there in the evening to go towards Brampton.

This makes a lot of sense. I do wonder whether Metrolinx has even considered the fact that the Randolph entrance will become a major entrance to the subway station, rather than just a substitute for the current platform access to the GO station.

Have you seen what they have done to the staircase at York University station? I don't have a picture now, but half of it is blocked in a similar way

D'uh!

Isn't it Metrolinx, rather than the City?

What do you mean? There will be a connection to the east end of the subway platform -- there's already hoarding there

I guess time will tell. The new developments won't change the fact that Bloor Street dips down here, which makes the entrance to UP/GO inaccessible from the road or from the south side of Bloor. People coming from future developments on the South side of Bloor are better off taking the...

The Bloor entrance to GO/UP is actually not all that useful, since it does not lead to any other mode of transport -- it only leads to a sidewalk that is raised high above the road and the bike lane. The Bloor entrance can really only used by people arriving on foot, and once the new connections...

It will be great for people in Junction Triangle. But people on the East side of Dundas will still have to cross the street to get into the subway station (or backtrack to the GO platform and access the tunnel from there)

Does Denmark have stroads like Finch Avenue? I highly doubt it.
