    Toronto Atrium on Bay Expansion | 114m | 34s | KingSett Capital | Hariri Pontarini

    During my visit to the DMZ today, I was able to look out the west windows and the panels for the circular ad are still there at the foot of the ad tower.

    The Tenor (10 Dundas St E, Ent Prop Trust, 10s, Baldwin & Franklin)

    Does anyone have a copy of the leasing plan/blueprint of this building? I'm wondering how possible it is to reconfigure the layout to something that isn't pants on head stupid. Apparently the truck dock area begins right behind the cineplex wall.

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

    I don't doubt your conclusions, but surely there are options? Since Obico is now abandoned, can't the CP Row be slightly realigned to give room for the TTC tracks? Moving the GO stop to East Mall/Cloverdale/427 would also free up some room, and the platform is roughly the subway ROW wide...

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    1. I'll experiment, but it's fairly obvious that these stations are interchanges anyways. 2. The TTC's official "Subway and RT" map as it is titled is word salad, especially when LRT is being introduced and the SRT is being decommissioned, and there are several LRT-lites around the system...

    The alignment would have to be elevated a few feet or the creek would have to be diverted. Definitely can't be practically buried.

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    York's shown a willingness to throw money at subways. Major Mack's not that far from RHC/VMC which can be inexpensively reached by trench in a straight line. MCC, despite being roughly the same distance away, is in the middle of nowhere relatively speaking. I think it makes more sense to have a...

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

    Perhaps the cheapest "git-er-done" option would be to use Dupont and dump people off at Summerhill, but this would warrant having a DRL in place.

    Thanks. I was aiming for the color used in their new wayfinding guide here (page 29) All the colors I picked are very distinct - are you colorblind by any chance? Is there anything I can do to improve readability? I went with the provincial alignment because it hits STC and Centennial...

    Hey guys, I'd like your critique of my map. My goal was to make one that was better than the official map. TTC 2054 (v0.9) by BB ON, on Flickr (I've since corrected Dundas West and Fairview not having square dots)

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Yeah I'm not understanding the lengthy bustitution unless they avoid the hydro corridor for the new station. Otherwise there's plenty of room for the it and crossover box. All they'd need to do is knock down the wall and install switches. That is like a two week job max. I'm down for this...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Yeah but this line is for suburbanites more than one stop hops. People who get on these trains are probably going north of Eglinton. This makes sense to design the platforms long instead of ready to accomodate floods of people getting on/off. A BD west extension has been on the books since...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    The curve at Sunnyside is actually very gentle, and the curve at Carlaw can be as round as you wanna make it since it all goes under lowrise industrial anyways. Gerrard is easily doable but the mall will have to be bought out and demolished. Getting from Adelaide to Front is going to be...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    You could always just extend it north on Dundas and then turn on Jane, so that the Junction gets subway.

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Alright time for some theorycrafting. A "full" DRL that does everything everybody wants it to would be approximately 27km long and have at least 19 stations. If the TTC is smart they'll build it with 200m platforms in mind. This is enough for 8 or 9 cars, which provides a lot of extra...
