Off topic, but whose idea was it to have Ward Street and Wade Avenue around the corner from each other?

It may be true that the number will be low, but don't assume that the line will only be used by people coming from north of the city to go to destinations downtown (like UofT). What about someone transferring from the Bloor line to the Barrie line to reach destinations such as...

Not true, there is an entrance west of Lansdowne, on Wade Ave...

I don't like how they are treating this only as an option to go downtown. It also provides service northbound, to Caledonia and Downsview. For example, this means that commuters from the West End who want to go to York University don't need to go all the way to St. George, but instead can take...

If your assumption is that transit contributes to urban blight, then maybe you are part of the reason why there is mutual mistrust

But it will also serve city residents! With stops at Liberty Village, Bloor/Lansdowne, Caledonia and Downsview, this will become a good north-south route for rapid transit within city limits. There already is a lot of ongoing development and existing development proposals in the neighborhood...

There is no such intersection. You're thinking of Keele & Dundas

At least he is not proposing his beloved "sharrows" Installing a sidewalk is a start, but walking on it will remain a terrifying exercise as long as drivers are speeding the way they have been.

"lovely" ?? Well that's in the eye of the beholder. Personally, you could not pay me enough to convince me to live in Etobicoke. Those sidewalk opponents are dead wrong if they think they are enhancing the value of their real estate.

This road shut be shut down for vehicles until the problems have been addressed and the conditions for pedestrians have been made safer.

They could just paint some sharrows on the road, like they did on the Queensway ;)

Looking forward to the day when there will be northbound trains in the morning!

Verbose announcements are great if it means there are many transfer options. If only Toronto had announcements like this one:

Exactly. I think it is important to distinguish between disappointment over the poor design plan for this station and the fact that it can become an important connection in the future, if GO RER is implemented on this route and if there is fare integration with the TTC. It will mean that the...

exactly! I can't wait for the Bloor-Lansdowne station (with all-day two-way service) to cut my commute in half

That ship sailed 56 years ago

Three years in, and they still claim to have a station at "Sorauren Street"

Roncesvalles could really use another station or two. The gap between Marmaduke and Garden is pretty big, and those stations are often full

I'd hope that the obvious desirability of a transfer option to the Bloor subway will keep it on the agenda. After all, there will be transfer options to the other major transit lines that it crosses, at Downsview and at Caledonia

Listing Frankfurt is misleading. There is no dedicated non-stop translit line from downtown to the airport. It is just that both the central train station and the airport long-distance train station are stops on German Rail's high speed network. If Via stopped at Pearson on its way to London or...
