Call out time to the former FewWriter - aka AMA or Metrolinx's very own Anne Marie Aikins (Twitter @AMAwithAMA ) or the former CBC'er Matt Llewellyn (Twitter @Mattrolinx).

She called it the subway. :D

Too true and I think many here may not get this point clearly. The only reason the province is involved is because the old (big) city council could not get its act together in ten years to deal with this. The city had ample time to get its ducks in a row. Instead, each little local councillor...

As @JasonParis said, I thought this was a blank wall. What was the community space?

I don't know how to say this without sounding like my mom or using language I should not here. I choose the former. No disrespect intended. God bless your pointed little head, @mdrejhon. The city is not now and not in any near future going to consider, study, contemplate, appraise, review...

I believe that the TTC put the kibosh on the idea because there is only so much political capital and the winds were not blowing the direction of "more tracks in mixed ROW" The TTC also wants a pair of tracks up Jones from Queen to Gerrard for flexibility looping cars, but this died on the same...

I live in the neighbourhood so I walk, drive or bike past this a few times a week. The problem is less with the 505 as a bus. It was a regular occurrence with the smaller CLRVs (mixed 504 and 505) to be backed up to the Loblaws or the first crosswalk south of the Danforth in the afternoon rush...

I checked and the Gerrard / Broadview intersection does have the required north-to-east curve and the reciprocal west-to-south curve. When I read your post, I thought one of the two was missing. This is why I asked the question. I could not think of a good place to loop in the east end. Too...

It's an amazing transformation for Ottawa.

So if 505 is going to return to streetcar service, how could it be split into a 505a and 505b to reduce the pressure on the loops at Dundas West and Broadview? Analogous to the split of 504 at the cancellation of 514 service.

Whether here or on the Streetcar Network thread.... The deliveries are all very positive. Getting back the two drowned cars, and the remaining new cars gives a net increase of about 30 Flexities from today's count. CPTDB lists about seventy of the CLRVs remaining in service. There is a coming...

This is true, but I am on Queen each night and the route signs are amazing. 512 to Leslie. 506 to Coxwell. 509 to Leslie. 504 short turn to Leslie. This is a regular occurrence on cars going out of service at night. Russell is despatching about 20 Flexities.

Yes, but did they leave space for a northern terminus for the Jane LRT? Major Mackenzie/Wonderland... *wink* ...'nuther decade on...

This is one hell of a deadhead. When is the rest of the storage capacity at Roncesvalles going to re-open?

Many beers have been consumed nearby. Our urban realm is prettier than it was when i was a student. It would be bad to exit the Brunswick House and puke in a place this well designed. More than a few trips staggering to Bathurst or Spadina stations started in this space.

Let the users prove the planners wrong. I read what the armchair quarterbacks post here, and what the 'educated/trained' planners say and I can't wait to see what surprises await us when new lines open. The only certainty is that we will be surprised.

You know...his brother is dead. The comments he and his brother made go back four years and more. Now he's the premier and there is no question he's an under-educated, incurious oaf. But we all evolve in life. He probably doesn't even remember what he said five and six years back. I'd be stunned...

And 5 years later, here we are.... https://toronto.citynews.ca/2014/08/31/new-ttc-streetcar-debuts-on-spadina/ 4400 on its second introduction to service.

How sad....

Huh?
