    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    Sorry if this has already been discussed but have any of the candidates stated their opinions about jets at Billy Bishop airport?

    Mississauga Mississauga Transitway | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | IBI Group

    The heated shelter space seems very narrow based on the pics.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Hence the introduction of carpool spaces right near the entrances to the platforms (me thinks).

    I'm surprised no one updated this thread yet regarding the TMB tracker: https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=214696212489798251360.0004e908bf153fd87ea17&hl=en&ie=UTF8&t=m&ll=43.687395,-79.481398&spn=0.004593,0.008393&source=embed&dg=feature

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    lol...Karen's campaign is looking sadder each day. If she was hoping to use this campaign as a means of boosting her name recognition in order to seriously run in 2018, I don't think it's going very well. However, if Soknacki is using this campaign as a means of boosting his name recognition...

    ...Bramalea Road and Dixie Road are parallel to one another. The real residential density begins around Bramalea Rd and Clark Blvd.

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ford proposed redrawing the boundaries as a result of going from 44 to 22 councillors. Soknacki is in favour of redrawing the current riding boundaries but staying at 44 wards/councillors.

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    Speaking of Soknacki, he released a discussion paper about the political gridlock. I think it's well thought out and deserving of credit (and discussion)! Team Soknacki on the issues, again. Kudos to him and his campaign so far...

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    My 2cents so far: -not liking the "dirty tricks" from the Tory campaign (value of a dollar site) -disappointed by Chow's lack of enthusiasm for the DRL. I'm a bit surprised how a lot of people on here that were avid supporters of the DRL are now softening their stance and supporting Chow's...

    New Transit Funding Sources

    I will add that I'm disappointed that Wynne refused to listen to the advice of both Metrolinx and the Golden report. It leaves an awful taste in my mouth when politicians ignore the advice of people with an expertise in transit in favour of scoring populist political points.

    New Transit Funding Sources

    Despite being shocked by today's announcement, I will wait and see what's included in the provincial budget. If the money will be dedicated from other revenue streams (other than the ones ruled out today), I think we should still be happy. $2 billion a year is still $2 billion a year, regardless...

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    Until ranked ballots are introduced, I think a lot of people will be stuck with voting for the less of two evils.

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    My picks: 1. Tory (has recently spoken in favour of transit-dedicated revenue tools and realizes the economic impacts of congestion; has business acumen, which I think is important for Toronto) 2. Chow (if her transit policy is more ambitious than Tory's *and* if she offers a concrete plan for...

    Toronto Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    I don't think you understand the long-term benefit of GO owning the track, rather than "keeping the capital" and continuing to rent from CN. Refer to smallspy's comment about GO's new dispatch facility in Oakville opening in 2016 and the ability for GO to call the shots on the lines that they...

    2014 Municipal Election: Toronto Mayoral Race

    CP24 had coverage of John Tory speaking in favour of the new food truck policy before city hall. It sounds as though he objects to the BIA component discussed in the article below, in favour of a city wide policy...

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway

    These councillors need to be called out by both the media and fellow councillors. Hopefully someone has the balls to do so.
