They are, diagram from the Ontario Traffic Manual (OTM) and a photo from the Churchill cycle tracks in Ottawa (found on Google). Full protected intersections (cycle tracks on both cross streets) are not explicitly stated in the manual, but mentioned in some regional design manuals, as well as...

Great photos, glad to see people don't have to ride on the roadway there anymore (not that many people did, I tend to see most, especially kids and teens on the sidewalk anyway). Asphalt would definitely have been better, and it's a better visual cue that it's not a sidewalk. As well, it's not...

That brings up a good question, will TTC run shuttle busses all the way to VMC if Line 1 shut down? Does YRT take up the slack? Anyone know if they have a published plan for this somewhere?

A lot of the time, living near Dundas West, I would take the subway downtown (slightly faster), then take the 505 back home (no transfer, more enjoyable ride). Because of Presto, many of those return trips have counted as a transfer, and it's been a great money-saver. I wish they'd just switch...

I think there's a dedicated ROW in the plans for the Bathurst St bridge rebuild, so there could be at least from Front to Fleet. It does make sense up to Queen though, once the new bridge is built, but there may be some points that are too narrow, meaning one general traffic lane in each...

I'm curious about those plans for the connection, is there no elevator or accessible connection planned? Seems a bit of a stretch to me to say that the surface connection satisfies AODA requirements.

Nope, but close by. The Crossways isn't bad, but the street-level interface could be much better. I'd love for them to do something like what's going on at the Sheppard Centre, where they're retrofitting for sidewalk-facing stores. I agree that the SW building is definitely not attractive, not...

The Dundas West-Bloor area has huge potential to be a high-density transit-oriented vibrant area. It's stiffled by the crossways, the seemingly abandoned giraffe development, and the school, which all eat up valuable street space, thanks to 1960s planning and architecture. It least there are...

Apparently for the Eglinton line, where they would run at least in pairs. I don't think it's for sure yet if this will be the configuration. There was discussion here back in April about it, due to para 21 in the Metrolinx legal proceedings against Bombardier...

To be fair, those streetcar numbers Drum said at the time were posted publicly by the TTC. Plus inside information changes all the time, you can ask 10 different people the same thing at TTC, or Metrolinx or wherever (insert major public or private corporation here), and get 10 different...

Not really a big systems difference, but a number of the Metrolinx LRVs will supposedly also be single-ended.

Proper BRT (with reserved centre-running) would be a cost-effective but significant upgrade, which could branch to STC and Agincourt, and host other routes or branches going further east. I think BRT in general makes much more sense for the suburban context, where trunk rail routes lose their...

With the expansions, I hope they increase the free time from 30 min. Maybe to 45 min, like Montreal. Would give some more leeway to travel across the expanded network.

Great to see the expansion, though surprised they're not putting any stations in High Park, figured it would be a big draw, especially if your aiming for the tourist crowd on the MGT.

That map is the tram and local bus system for Zurich city, which is comparable to maybe the old city of toronto (think our streetcar coverage area). For another comparison, the Zurich canton (sort of equivalent to a regional municipality) is about the geographic size of Toronto plus York Region...

I think if they have any issues with cars encroaching on the soft curbs, it would be easy enough to put up bollards. Shouldn't need any major retrofits.

I think it has to be a new tender. Curious, why would it be TRs without the open gangways?

Thanks. The city has really been putting a lot of new bike infrastructure lately, and it seemed to be a bit under-reported here. I cycle fairly often, and it's great to see improvements popping up more frequently. There has definitely been a noticeable increase in cyclists every year, so I hope...

So I took a ride on the Martin Goodman Trail west of Bathurst for the first time in a little while, and was pleasantly surprised by improvements they've been making. Grabbed some photos... The new trail on the left, just east of Ontario Pl Blvd, following Lake Shore, is a great shortcut. I also...

I've never seen them close off the park to cars, even when sidewalks were spilling out. It would be great if they did, and just run a shuttle bus looping through the park. Would be great for an electric bus, something the could hit the subway, the 501 stop, and the 506 stop.
