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

    It depends how Dundas St is renamed. Is it kept contiguous or broken up? Roncesvalles could be extended up to Scarlett perhaps. But as for the TTC station, my vote would be for "Bloor West". The GO station is already called Bloor so not much change there.

    Per axle would be reasonable. 🤔

    Spadina station moving walkway

    IMHO No. If one is ambulatory enough to present themselves to the start of this tunnel, they can surely manage the next ~137m. Surely there is better return on investment and ongoing maintenance costs elsewhere.

    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    Hey, I also want to tear down the Gardiner but I see it more as Terry Gilliam's 1985 movie Brazil. :)

    Toronto Old City Hall Proposals

    This could be a place to consolidate the many TTC admin offices.

    Hot Docs Cinema (504-508 Bloor)

    Saw a couple events there. Not a great room. Also you would hear the subway behind the screen whenever it rumbled by.

    I like this one from 13 years ago!

    Toronto Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport Pedestrian Tunnel | ?m | ?s | Ports Toronto | Arup

    So I'm looking at at the 4 options presented here: https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/963e-Discussion-Guide-City-of-Toronto-BBTCA-Update-FINAL.pdf One option I'm not seeing is simply shortening the length of the east-west runway. In other words, the RESA requirement can be...

    Highway 401 Transit and Auto Tunnel

    It seems April Fools comes earlier every year.

    All I see is the wood utility pole. <sigh> We can't have nice things... (...and the Jersey barriers)

    Your rapid transit would probably be a ferris wheel.

    Toronto One Bloor West | 308.6m | 85s | Tridel | Foster + Partners

    You can see the "before" brick on page 329 of this thread. It's lower grade filler brick and it's pretty rough. What's there now is horrible. I foresee some sort of artwork or electronic sign to cover it up.

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Transit funding, especially Scarborough transit funding, is usually associated with electioneering. Those timetables don't necessarily line up provincially and federally.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    The right turn lanes onto King should be signalized just like the left turn lanes are. Obviously yield to pedestrians and no turn on red. Either signal should never turn green if there is a streetcar waiting to enter the intersection. The presence of signals would make automated enforcement...
