    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    A large, v-shaped plow on the front would be helpful to prevent both derailments and also provide self-clearing of the tracks in the event of a collision or even parked cars blocking. Something like this:

    Was 4542 unloaded or is it waiting in line somewhere?

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    4574 is tracking now. Can anyone confirm if 4539 entered service and, if yes, what the date it entered service was?

    What if we had a Notre Dame scale fire?

    They are spending a billion dollars restoring and renovating the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa right now.

    Toronto Garrison Point | 118.56m | 35s | Cityzen | Hariri Pontarini

    I had the chance to bike over closer to see these things in person the other day and the facets shown in the renders are indeed there. Subtle, but you can see them in the balconies. Looking forward to the white panels going in that will define the different planes more clearly.

    4539 has stale tracking data. And given that some cars show up with locations in the lake, or northern Ontario, unless you have eyes on the car, it's probably not safe to assume it's where the tracking data says it was.

    Toronto MEC Queen Street (Mountain Equipment Coop) | 21.03m | 3s | Parallax | Sweeny &Co

    I visited on Saturday to pick up some stuff. The inside is pretty nice and an improvement over the old store. No comment on the exterior.

    4532, 4534 and 4535 are all tracking. No 4533 yet but it was just offloaded the other day. 4532 and 4534 are out and about this evening.

    Toronto Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    More pics here would suggest the hotel is fairly freestanding as opposed to an integral part of the structure that holds up the roof. https://www.blogto.com/city/2016/09/how_toronto_built_the_most_hyped_sports_stadium_ever/

    Toronto Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    IIRC the hotel was a tack-on and not part of the original design that sits outside of the "ring" of the roof. No idea whether that means it can be surgically removed to open up the north end somehow or not, but having more of an open air feel out in the outfield would help, especially if that...

    4528 seems to be out this morning either in service (finally), or perhaps doing an in service test. It's signed as a 504 this morning and at Dufferin Loop when I last checked.

    Toronto CIBC SQUARE | 241.39m | 50s | Hines | WilkinsonEyre

    It's "the cheapening" at a new and unprecedented level! Even for Toronto.

    Toronto Riverside Square | 64.6m | 20s | Streetcar | RAW Design

    Curious exactly how much money or time they saved by re-using the frame of the old storage place in the new building. It seems like it would be a liability to have that old structure in there. Interesting to note that the BMW office across the road did the same thing many years ago.

    4573 finally showed up on the Nextbus feeds tonight. Currently sitting at Leslie Barns.

    King Street (Streetcar Transit Priority)

    Nothing short of enforcement cameras, a cop literally standing there with a ticket pad in hand or a strong physical barrier would stop people who see all the signs and just don't care. Even with those measures, you'll still get some entitled drivers who would just go around them, claim ignorance...

    TTC: Flexity Streetcars Testing & Delivery (Bombardier)

    Sneaky. 4573 has yet to show up on Nextbus for whatever reason.
