I'm a little confused by the argument against removing stops, if we move to Line 5 spacing, ridership will drop off? The analysis provided ignores the streetcar systems in Prague, Budapest and Amsterdam. I did a quick check on Paris and it also follows the 400-500m stop spacing. I don't think...

While it looks out of place here, there are examples of old apartment buildings with similar profiles in Toronto. Here is one on Huron and 3 on Clinton. @Northern Light Could this particular building work better with some tweaks like rainwater capture, green roof?

Although bike share isn't there yet to cover the whole city. I feel the e-scooter sharing program is a bit of a disaster wherever they go (when no docks). It's visual pollution everywhere and blocking sidewalks. If we can't have delivery robots because of accessibility issues regarding our...

Turns out it's a new plane for the province but Ontario had a plane before. AI: Yes, the Province of Ontario has owned and operated Beechcraft King Air turboprop planes as part of its government fleet for transporting officials, including the Premier, the Lieutenant-Governor, and staff. Key...

If the platform height was lowest height of streetcar (maximum load + maximum wheel/track wear) would that solve this issue?

I was going to post the same: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/doug-ford-private-jet-9.7167824

Does it matter if it's a few inches higher or lower for most use cases? They could also pick the lowest that the streetcar could go with maximum wear and maximum load. Having the streetcar almost level will provide a faster onboarding and off-boarding then the current case. Those with strollers...

First time I've seen this called Grange Neighborhood but I'll take it - from today's article: https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/04/191-college-bump-45-storeys-would-add-more-affordable-units-no-new-elevators.60811

Oh, I thought Ontario Place was closed for construction.

At this point, why would the pilot connect to Ontario Place. I agree that Humber Bay would be very useful and potentially the busiest stop if the service is fast enough,

They should close the station for a couple weeks and expedite the work that doesn't need the subway to be closed. Downtown stations are very close to each other.

E-Bikes make more sense for Mississauga as everything is further apart. They need to figure out their docking issue which is tough for Mississauga because it's so big. Personally I would pick an area like Square One, Streetsville or Port Credit, build the cycle infrastructure and slowly expand...

That's just the shops located on Baldwin st (maybe leaking outwards to Jimmy's/Krispy Kreme). Places in the surrounding area like the Steelworkers Union building, the McCaul-Orde Park, even George Brown House across the street I wouldn't call part of Baldwin Village today. I've seen maps say...

I think the whole block needs to be named something, it's not Discovery District or Chinatown. Maybe call the whole block Baldwin Village and call it a day. Similarly south of Dundas, call the whole area Grange Park?

That all seems really slow. If they were to implement all the changes we wouldn't see the majority of the benefit until 2028????
