So I walked along the hydro corridor going through here, completely forgetting that the construction was probably not yet complete. I looked at the website and now see there's a "fall 2025" newsletter update. It makes it sound like the trails are open now? Did I literally miss this by a...

I'll take the blame for starting it, I cited the Finch experience as a proxy for Eglinton

After seeing a post yesterday of all the unfinished pieces on Line 6's opening day, it doesn't give me great confidence in Eglinton. Many are cosmetic pieces, but a couple made me wince.

It's inconsequential, but boy, it's baffling they did not future-proof this. TRs started being manufactured in 2008, 1 year after the Crosstown was announced.

We should start tracking this in a spreadsheet.

A longer excerpt: The OLT slapped this down. It's not a full ravine wall. It may look that way to a layman, but there are overlapping potions from an ice age ago. The OLT slapped this down too. It is a unique geographic layout that will not apply within other ravines subject to active...

I'm indifferent to the EMU discussion because, well, throw it in a general 'mismanaged garbage' bin, but anyway... Some napkin math. Let's take @reaperexpress ' measurement of 80s to accelerate to full speed, 50% of the time to decellerate (would be cool for you to measure that too), and...

This is fun, you should make (or partner with someone to make) a proposed translated TTC map.

Yeah, even I was surprised though. I expected a couple hundred, not a few hundred. A few notes form my short jaunt to Mount Pleasant / from Georgetown: Quite a few parents with younger kids as well, which is shocking when it means getting their butts up before 7 to make the train, pack, dress...

Some great coordination at this transit coordination agency.

Maybe they paused to recalibrate their printing after the first installation.

York Region Police advised it was Kennedy Road between Carlton and Highway 7, so 1.5 km west of Centennial.

Per a Reddit post, a Stouffville train hit a dump truck.

This is news to me.
