While I was happy at first, I think this is a sign that the city has given up on this last portion of the trail between Marlee and the Allenway. Why build a fully separated bike lane all along Roselawn from the Allen Greenway to Marlee if youre going to use the part labelled "Future York...

Unfortunately its just a terrible scan. Theres things that can be done, but nothings better than scanning the photo properly in the first place. Sad that a lot of these sorts of museums are run with people who are good intentioned and often working volunteer, but havent the slightest clue of how...

Werent they talking about 14 car trains on the Milton Line? As this was the only way to deal with demand. I thought thats why we bought those insane 5400HP locos for. Maybe thats changed since they are looking to add all day-ish service to Milt.

Someone, most likely one of you rapscallions, put some google street view photos of the East Don Trail on Maps. https://maps.app.goo.gl/pcthNwS2hWnAAEbt6 https://maps.app.goo.gl/AHtACVEvoPdyPLJs8 https://maps.app.goo.gl/aLXChvtrx3B5wGuW6

IMO that applies to almost everything when comparing the USA to Canada.

Scarborough actually has a ton of spots for off-road bike paths that could be built relatively easily. It could have a ton of bikeways zipping across it.

Would it not have made more sense to combine the river bridge and this bridge together and have a gradual grade go up from before the river? Rather than this monstrosity?

I think the whole rust look was the wrong choice here too. It looks nice on simple bridges and stuff but this thing looks like one giant tetanus infection.

My understanding is that the Transitway was built with upgrade to LRT in mind. Not sure exactly what that means, but I would hope it means its pretty painless.

Im surprised they are even bothering to run trains between Aldershot and Niagara.

Considering how Via Rail treats every aspect of their service, from lining up to board, assigned seats, surge ticket pricing, galley food carts, like they are an airline, its not as far off as you think.

The sections of the ION phase 1 that are on the right side of the road, were a bad choice. You have to go super slow to not be a danger to pedestrians, bikes, people driving out of driveways etc. Thats something you do with a streetcar, not an LRT.

I wouldnt be surprised if Flair jumps up to take over Lynx's slots. However they are also on thin ice financially too, so they might not have the resources.

Speaking above about the GO train proposal only going to Pinebush, I also see another more political reason for doing it: The Phase 2 Ion already has low projected ridership numbers. What better way to raise those numbers by forcing people who want to get on/off the GO train from downtown...

No, and the private partnership I believe means that there are simply requirements set for the consortium picked to meet, such as speed, car size, etc and they just pick or make whatever they deem necessary. They could pick Ventures, or use something else. It wont be the Ventures we are...

Even more money potentially could have been saved if the Rae/Harris fiasco didn't stop the Eglinton West subway too. But thats politics for ya.

Regardless, GO/Metrolinx has stated that each station will be serviced in an even/odd pattern, with every other train skipping one station and servicing the other. Meaning there will be 0 difference in Mr.Bojangles trip ride.

im confused, there already is an overpass for Eglinton there over the valley. The trail won't cross Eglinton in any way shape or form. It will be hundreds of feet below it.

great, let them run them. Every signal in Toronto should have a red light camera. Use the funds to fund transit.

Exactly, this allows to put up red light cameras, which would mean that every car driver that goes straight through would be helping to fund this project
