I think improvements as a terminal would be good. Because it's under a hydro corridor redevelopment isn't an option.

This is the beauty of corruption that is unprovable (well to the people in power and their benefactors). The Star published an article about developers that are associated (loosely or not) with Doug Ford along the potential hwy 413 corridor. The auditor general hasn't conclusively said they are...

It will be interesting to see how this plays out at East Harbour, as the city had specifically zoned this strictly as employment lands. Of course the province has overruled this, but the city can stall on approving housing. I generally think a mixed use is preferable, but reserving space for...

But actually, I would not be surprised if Lakeshore GO line/lines become overwhelmed with demand 10 years after EMU's and rapid frequency is rolled out.

I suppose media poorly reported the law and I failed to do my research.

Yet new legislation under the Ford government disallows Toronto planning any transit.

Sheppard LRT is dead and the subway extension probably won't happen over a decade.

Since Ford would never support Sheppard LRT, extending line 6 east to Don Mills or Kennedy should be considered.

Has something changed with confirmed stations? Last I can see and still listed on their website was 4 stations (Steeles, Clark, Langstaff and High Tech).

Exactly. The ignorance of people driving several thousand pounds of steel death machine, blaming a pedestrian for a road network that completely ignores anyone that isn't driving alone also.

Hmmmmm, hire an American firm that will employee temporary foreign workers?

I think a good compromise is a BRT on Victoria park and Ontario line up Don Mills.

I can see the appeal to service Victoria Park as it's already a street with reasonable density and relatively popular bus route. I think Don mills serves as a more compelling option for its densification potential at major cross-streets (being a wider ROW for elevated rail doesn't hurt either).

I think this is a very viable option, especially on high pedestrian trafficked streets like Yonge, Bloor, Queen and King.

A coalition isn't necessary and has never happened with a minority government, the closest would be the BC NDP Confidence and Supply Agreement with the Greens. Usually (as the federal government has been operating) the government will look for votes on non-confidence bills with parties that most...

The Star article captures how the general public views the gov't and sadly us political wonks and transit geeks could never be satiated by a Ford government. I think them getting re-elected is extremely likely, the most we can hope for is a minority.

The real tragedy is lack of tie-in with TTC bus and streetcar routes with these SmartTrack stations.

When the Ontario line was announced I was highly sceptical about the above ground section through Leslieville, however as the project has been refined it has been shown to be far better value than the RL.

God I wish the midtown corridor was being pursued.
