    Toronto The Hearn District | 52.64m | 11s | Cortel Group | PARTISANS

    Check out this 1960s shot of The Hearn with its massive coal pile and multiple stacks before the super stack. Insane by today's environmental standards. Wow.

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Grabbed this off the Old Toronto Facebook Page. Look at all the industry down there 60 years ago. Huge change. Look at the Hearn Generating Plant with its massive COAL pile puffing away. Insane by today's standard.

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Posted this on Reddit yesterday, the same time as I posted it here. Got quite a bit of attention. It was the #1 post in r/Toronto, with 278,000 views and 300 wacky comments. :p

    I dunno. What do you define as reliable?

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    If it's ultra reliable, I'd agree I'd trade some speed for reliability for sure. But it will likely be both slow and unreliable. Much like the current streetcars I'm sure. I wonder of all the public transit serving Toronto, which is most reliable from best to worse? GO Train Subway Streetcar...

    Thousands of people jog half marathons.

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Wait. Average speed from end to end is 12 - 19 km/h? Oh boy. So someone can jog the whole line faster. That's incredibly slow.

    Ontario Science Centre

    Here are a few hi-res stills, if anyone on UT wants to pass this on to a certain someone at BlogTO, it could make for a timely little article. Not sayin' just sayin' ;)

    Take a little trip with me around the roofs of the Ontario Science Centre after the record snowfall.

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Or... are the cars going 30km/h (Vision Zero) so the train is going 10 km/h (TTC maintenance requirements)?

    Toronto Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    ^^^ Vision Zero y'all. Not a single accident can ever occur. To get there, let's treat everyone like babies and make sure the whole city shall never move faster than 30km/h. Hopefully soon it will be 20 km/h. And then eventually 6km/h... walking pace. Shoot, someone could still trip. Maybe...
