Looks like @Student99 was right. It's the first stand-alone McCafe location. http://www.cp24.com/news/mcdonald-s-stirs-up-competition-with-first-stand-alone-mccafe-at-union-station-1.2692773 http://www.thestar.com/business/2015/12/09/mcdonalds-opens-first-standalone-mccafe-at-union-station.html

Agreed. To me the questions are: Should we have a framework for naming rapid transit stations (or, for that matter, all transit stops)? If yes, should it be based on uniqueness (each station has a unique name) or should it permit duplicates (two or more stations on the rapid transit system...

OK, but that's a common turn of phrase when people are stating things that are incorrect. It's not a big deal. You're still getting way too worked up about that. You've made 5 posts in a row about it. Say "I misunderstood. I should have done my homework." and just move on.

No one is bringing your character into question. No one used the word "lie". You're seeing something which isn't there.

Exactly. Saying they're "station naming consultants" is misrepresenting the situation. Besides, if the number of rapid transit stations are going to double or triple as is planned, it makes much more sense to sort out a standard NOW rather than later. Yes, and as that link makes clear, the UK...

That wouldn't work in the case of short turns, scheduled or unscheduled.

Should it be a priority corridor if it's dependent on future development, when all the other corridors have demand today? There is some development today on the north side, but even if there wasn't the south side of the street is still completely built out. If development being half done (one...

Perhaps a good first step (and sign of commitment), Oakville and/or Burlington should start running a Dundas St bus from Mississauga to Hwy 407? (Or, even better, partner with Hamilton and take it in to Waterdown.) This is a priority "Next Wave" rapid transit corridor where there isn't even a...

Type "Forest Hill" in to Google Maps and it will include "Forest Hill North". "Forest Hill North" is a subset of the "Forest Hill" neighbourhood, not a separate, exclusive neighbourhood.

If they have a transfer table, I hope they're going to have proper ways for handling when a streetcar gets diverted and you have to transfer to the subway at an atypical location. If it's actually time-based, it will be interesting to see the public figure that out. And the...

The central part of Eglinton was always undergound. It's the parts outside of the central part (i.e. east of Laird, Don Mills and Kennedy excepted) that shifted from above ground, to below ground, to above ground again.

Nope. The interlining was only proposed during the year-or-so when Ford got the Eglinton Crosstown plan changed to being fully underground.

You need a system that makes it impossible (and foolproof) for any type of a collision between a light vehicle and a heavy vehicle to occur. Then you need to get Transport Canada to agree to your proposed system (which they might not be willing to do). Right now in NA, the accepted "system" is...

The TTC also used "LRT" when planning and building the Spadina line and St. Clair ROW. They dropped the term after the lines started operation. Glad to see so many people coming around to the idea that the terms "streetcar" and "LRT" are practically meaningless when being compared to each...

I'm confounded by the fact that both screens are showing different wording to describe the same issue. How does that even happen?

Here's some promotional materials for those new Whisperjets we've been hearing all about! (And there's my attempt at a WK Lis-style post...)

Yes. So each wheel needs to be moved out by 1 3/16 inches. Enough to cause a $2 billion problem?

The wheels have to be moved outwards by one inch. That doesn't really suggest that it's going to be easier to spend $2 billion to extend the subway.

I wonder too. Or, in other words, designing the infrastructure to fit the vehicle rather than designing the vehicle to fit the infrastructure.

With the streetcars as delayed as they are, maybe reducing the current Bombardier order and ordering some double-ended cars to make reconstruction easier is worth reconsideration. Unfortunate that the curve south of Queens Quay station is so tight, limiting the "off-the-shelf-ness" of any...
