I present to you an anatomy of any thread on this website. Person A: Man, I sure do think that x is a good plan! Person B: Actually, x isn't so great, y is what we should go with. A: No, x is the right decision because a,b,c. B: I can't believe this idiot! Insert thinly veiled insults to...

I was unaware that a garbage dump ever existed there. I suppose that's as good an explanation as any.

I couldn't help but notice this rather strange anomaly by Kipling and Steeles, and I felt that it's in the same vein as this thread. http://maps.google.ca/?ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=43.760262,-79.592042&spn=0.00358,0.007296&z=17 It looks like an east-west access road behind that building that...

The Honeydale Mall is going to be redeveloped into residential units. A much more worthy use, I think, given how the place is nearly dead these days. http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/2006/agendas/committees/et/et060913/it048.pdf But didn't you hear? No subway is ever viable unless it's...

Uh... no. Phase one of the subway was only supposed to go from Eglinton West to "York Centre" aka Black Creek Drive. A future extension was supposed to take it all the way to the airport, with an extension to Yonge even further in the future (far enough that it wasn't even on the books in any...

I would like to know this too. I can't see much benefit at all in an extension to Sherway, given how it's just a big mall and big box sprawl. Heh, bit of unintentional poetry there. I've always thought a westward extension to West Mall and Dundas would be a lot more useful. It could have an...

You know what? This fellow is right! I propose destroying every monument and statue in Toronto. You know, since they don't provide anything in the way of utility, they mustn't be important to the city. [/sarcasm]

Goddamn wonderful. So I suppose we can expect the relatively reliable suburban bus routes to turn into "Wait for twenty minutes and then have 5 vehicles arrive at once", then.

Oh hahaha I see what you did there. Morono instead of Munro because he's a moron, am I right? I suppose if you're willing to dip to schoolyard insults, I can call you a big fat poop head, then? Whether you agree with him or not, he's done a hell of a lot more for transit in this city than you...

The distance from Hurontario and Burnhamthorpe to the bus terminal is over a kilometre if you follow the sidewalks. Cutting through the mall wouldn't shave off much time either. It would be like Spadina on crack. Also, I suppose anyone who doesn't want to walk through driving rain or snow in...

Now, I'm no expert on the dimensions of subway stations, but from Google Maps, this looks like a massive distance for a single walkway. How far south does the station go right now?

It's not. I'm assuming they just shine it in the general direction of the cockpit and hope it catches someone in the eyes. It's still a huge safety risk.

Question for Dentrobate: why did you vote for a subway extension? I seem to recall a fiery debate only days ago where you vehemently defended the current RT technology and positioned yourself against a subway extension to STC. Choice quotes...

...you mean other than the two subway lines and the Bay bus route, which this streetcar would replace at huge cost and little benefit?

Calm the hell down and stop freaking out about nothing. Just because you and your friends were responsible, doesn't mean everyone is. They were saying that some suburban kids do this because there is nothing to do. Not "every suburban kid is a hellion". Even if he did, you realistically have no...

Admiral Beez and Urban Shocker, apparently. The voting is public. Someone (or two someones) have some explaining to do. *crosses arms*

Okay, seriously, if anyone knows where to get this, please post it. I've been looking for something like this for a long time.

DRL, that's it's name! That name again is DRL!

I remember what I posted. I also never said that was the only option. However, that's the option we'd be most likely to see, since the TTC is dead-set on LRT up Jane and Don Mills. A subway connection to those two lines would be the best we can hope for, though an LRT connection would be good in...

Now for today's installment of "Dentrobate has to learn how to read", a delightful example of Dentrobate totally overlooking something.
