RE: Lake Ontario tunnel - Sometimes when coming up with various options for a report... you have to including ludicrously expensive options to make another expensive option seem a lot more reasonable... 100% not speaking from experience here...

As interesting as these look - I've been burnt by Metrolinx promising the world on the urban design and art of the Davenport Diamond Project, and then backtracking. So I will wait and see.

Yes, I can see the cost of investigating and fixing this... for 4 months of additional service - be a reason why the SRT will never reopen. Chow needs to push the TTC to spend the money ASAP on bus lanes, signal priority and decent wayfinding for the bus bridge, and work on the SRT corridor as...

Oh dear - rescuing a TBM is not cheap or easy!

Interesting stuff - surprised there's no attempt for even modest commercial along 16th Ave (given the 404 interchange). Such is the demand for industrial land in London (and the challenges of that) - is that double stacked industrial units are being developed. Surely the demand for industrial...

For those that haven't seen it - the Carto metro map is a great way to see the layout of the streetcar network - and the out of service / diversion trackage.

Thinking about this - the complete disconnect of TTC and Create TO means decisions have been made such as a) not rebuilding the substations with a development on top b) not building on top of the bus terminal or the station c) not building anything where the PPUDO will be located, or integrating...

Some renderings are in the TTC Board document - I found this plan useful, showing the future station.

I live in hope of day 1 actions of a) bye bye Rick Leary b) hello new Speaker of Council

Because the data shows that not many people use the Gardiner to cross downtown, and the eastern section is not heavily used compared to other sections of highway in the city. Most destinations are somewhere downtown. People "bypassing" downtown will use the OG Toronto bypass, the 401. For...

It's a wonderful place - I guess I didn't clarify my point well enough. You can't visit the islands for just five minutes - it's best to make an afternoon/day of it. Somewhere closer to where people live, and you can come/go as you please. I guess that's why replacing the airport with an...

In my opinion - scale/size of the park, range of the facilities (gardens, open grassland, forest, playgrounds, sports facilities etc) and location - something that Toronto lacks in the downtown at present. Something that both tourists and locals will travel to especially. Toronto Islands is too...

From today's Star - holy crap!

Agreed - and not managing to get ownership of the 355 Yonge plot either...

And the TMU press release is here At last, TMU will have a "face" on YD Square - really marking the entrance to the University. Fair enough.

Oof Celina Caesar-Chavannes got just 253 votes. Not even a modicum of name recognition helped... And I noticed Mammoliti managed to get banned from twitter. Oh well!

See you later, Tory. I don't think they'll be building a statue of you in years to come, lets put it that way.

Chow's first 100 days, according to CP24

Chloe Brown did well again - beating two city councillors, including Bradford! I wonder if Hunter regrets resigning to run... 🍿

true - but service life is usually the period of time when a rolling stock performs consistently at a reliable level. The 51 year old Bakerloo line trains are literally rusting away, and London has a central government that doesn't care enough to fund replacements...
