It's too bad the bollards are not still there at Union. We could strictly admonish the engineering students in the city to NOT move them to Yonge as part of their grad year prank. 😉

Sorry, I should have said "all stops from Don Valley to Kennedy" since it's effectively a streetcar on that stretch, but regardless, I recognize it's unrealistic.

I'd be tempted to suggest making some stops "request only" in order to test how often they're actually requested, but with some stops being so close, would we run the risk that people would be hitting the "please stop" button when it might already be challenging to stop?

I went looking & found they're doing some public consultations coming up on April 21st & there's a survey due by May 5th https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/get-involved/public-consultations/infrastructure-projects/yonge-downtown/

Ah okay, I understand where you are coming from now. Perhaps it's a case where they designed the buildings (& its landscaping) in isolation with little to no regard for what's actually around or for a fantasy future where the neighbouring area is more built up, walkable, and with more...

Sitting down? I like how they're have benches facing each other - it's more convivial. I imagine it would make it easier for groups of friends to converse & hang out in a free "third space" and will add to the vibrancy of the streetscape. It was something I immediately noticed as different in...

That second photo makes the road tunnel seem very low and claustrophobic. Will there be an opening to the station under here to make it feel a bit more open?

But don't routes 13 & 61 still use the bus loop?

Wa! It's starting to get much easier to visualize the route now. And look at all those cute little mixer trucks & orange vested workers swarming the site 😍 Thank you Hawc & Kotsy.

I can get behind "First Parliament", but yeah to DSCToronto's point.

I'm sold by your appeal for Leslieville and Queen West. Sunlight Park is also fun and there's a future argument that a park be remade there which includes one of those historic plaques to explain about ye old baseball stadium. For the others: The country’s first large-scale hog slaughtering...

Google says it's a 10min walk or 4min bike to Victoria Park station, which does have a bike room that's a tad under-used at present. Perhaps not so far for some?

The area is looking so good & also pedestrian-friendly. I like the idea of smaller, more affordable micro units for retail - hope it actually works!
