Methinks it's a woman ;), just a hunch. Anyway I think there's something quaint and charming about the existing structure but if we must fix up the ugly duckling to match the upper echelons of Yorkville glitz and refinery, oh well. Nothing screams improved service and reasons to ride...

Not unless they want to trigger prevalent RaHoWa, they will ;)!

I think I already addressed this but in case you've forgotten... As you'll see it's a contemporary building that enhances the local artitecture surrounding it. If we infilled more gaps in the old downtown area with more aestethically refined, unconventionally-constructed structures, the...

I'm been having an existential crisis for some time now and have come to some radical and startling conclusions. Your points are all valued and ones I've debated personally before. Be warned though, this is some deep, melancholic ponderings but worth a listen. My thoughts on religion and...

What you're describing sounds alot like what will happen on Eglinton Avenue. The western portion from Renforth to Jane would be above ground either in the median of the road or utilizing the vast undeveloped sections of the set-aside Richview Expressway lands. Through this area 'stations' would...

The jog really isn't that big a deal in the grand scheme of things, and a local stop on Gladstone would be lost. People here love throwing around artitectural preservation so what about not affecting the overpass with it's grand stone foundation and grassroots steel, eh? Anyways, all I'm...

Lets not be too rash and assume that just because Transit City was proposed as a LRT network, it'll be that way indefinitely. Until the shovels bore the ground and tracks are laid there's always a possibly to modify which technologies are used. Preferably a mixture of BRT, LRT and SRT (subway...

For the GO bus that'd mean stops at Hwy 27, Kipling, Pine Valley, Weston, Jane, Keele Dufferin, Bathurst, and Yonge for the Vaughan leg. The most relevant GO train line to Vaughan, the Barrie South (formerly Bradford) Line has stations as close as one concession apart in some places...

NAMBLA- wasn't that the North American Man/Boy Love Association :D?!

One weekend out of the year of car crashes and revelry pandemonium all bringing in an excess of fifty million sounds like a nice trade off to me, just saying. Now what's going to put T.O. on the map? Spamalot? We Will Rock You? :p lol! For all the long sheer, agony of winter keeping...

Ever heard of paying lip-service ;)? Let's just say it has gotten me out of alot of jams with narrow-minded individuals too stubborn to critically assess my point-of-view on things but rather assert they're right no matter what. As long as people associate lack of faith with immorality and...

I didn't mean 100 kms as a literal suggestion, but rather that we're going down a slippery slope of over-indulgence by asserting every outcrop on the fringe needs a subway umbilical cord to downtown Toronto. When does rationality and reason factor and trigger in :confused:? Not surprising Dundas...

If it slows down the commutes of long-range passengers than yes. Corridors shedwatering multiple routes shouldn't have to have every local bus serve every local stop. Again with my Eglinton example, if you're in need of Eglinton local why hold up riders that genuinely want the part of the route...

I don't foresee 106 York University ever being removed as it serves the entire periphery of the campus. Other routes like the 196 Rocket and VIVA Orange south of Steeles will however become redundant. Also anticipate the loss of 36 Finch West, 60 Steeles West and 41 Keele into the campus as...

Is Mississauga better suited for a subway extension than York Region is? The answer, yes and no. While I find the Hurontario and Eglinton West corridors already highly suitable for subways, it'll take something other than a 100+ km BD line to achieve it. You also have to consider the large...

I agree, I didn't find it inherently racist. Just political mudslinging. I for one am proud Obama's embracing his roots, as there's nothing wrong with visiting a traditional village and wearing traditional garb when there as a show of solidarity. IMHO, Obama's the first true composite of a...

Okay, I can take a hint. My hyperbole aside, a km separates Clark from Centre which is a large gap and despite buses best efforts it can't achive comparative speeds to the subway. A straight path to Yonge St sounds faster, without turning onto Promenade then Bathurst then Clark on which sounds...

Yeah, you've got me totally pegged. I commute from the Queen/Main area of Brampton to UTSC, three times a week. Sometimes I take the GO but usually when it's an afternoon class I try to use local routes as two tickets (BT+TTC) only costs $4.45 whereas one-way GO is $6.25 +TTC fare. I'd do alot...
