It didn't sound like the others were as hell bent on stopping TC, and re-disbursing its approved funding the way Ford is, but more ready to adapt their own plans integrated in it (aside from Sarah T's subway expansion plan, but doubt she'd still want to stop the current underway projects once in...

And that should be everyone's biggest concern right now, because, that is exactly the same pattern about to repeat itself.. which kind of means Miller (David) should've tried for re-election, just to see his plans get completed.

From that article http://www.torontosun.com/news/toron.../15294461.html (admittedly I never read the Sun, so thanks for sharing GraphicMatt): "Wynne said she is ready to have a conversation with any new mayor about priorities for public transit planning after Transit City." Smartest words...

Lets hope so, because the thought of Ford as Mayor should be both embarrassing and frightening for citizens.

Anyone that believes this is ever going to happen with Ford as Mayor is dreaming almost as much as Rob Ford is with his plan to BE mayor.

But it doesn't even do THAT, because the money proposed is dedicated for the already approved and planned projects, THIS would NEVER get built before 2015... nevermind the fact Toronto couldn't pull it together to design and build this in that amount of time, even WITH approved funding. It...

But to note; its not about the subway systems, its about the subway MAPS, and therefore not necessarily grouped by length, age and capacity of systems, but more about the varying cartography associated with each systems map. However, in discussing how the map for each metro plan developed, they...

Butter Tarts are an Ontario invention, and the farmer's market (and a lot of other bakeries in town) make some pretty awesome ones. This, with a peameal bacon on a bun make's for a pretty good combo = salty + sweet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butter_tarts

It won't be costing $50 to travel one way on it.

Well its happening, so deal with it.

Ya, there's a huge diff from visiting those places and living there daily relying on those modes of transit to get you around, only THEN can you compare it on the same level/experience. A tourist taking the subway to the museum, is not the same as commuting daily to your work place. As I did...

Been to Beijing.... worked and lived in Asia and Europe, and used transit everyday, and that didn't only mean subways... I had to use; buses (HK/Shanghai/Seoul), streetcars (Melbourne/Berln), regional rail (Tokyo/Paris/Sydney) to get around... They weren't always wisking everyone everywhere at...

No, it doesn't fail to serve the needs of the city. The fact that it carries the 2nd most number of riders outside of NYC, proves that, but it does need to be improved to allow for more & better service. As for highways/roads? They serve cars, not so much people. We don't need highways downtown...

Hey, YOU were the one saying against LA and NYC, toronto doesn't have transit/roads to move a lot of people. I was pointing out that that was false. And yes, I said Toronoto's Tranist SYSTEM, (not subway/RT only..) is #2 (after NYC) in ridership... thought that was obvious, but I can see...

Um.. wrong... Toronto's transit system is the second largest (New York #1) in North America, and its subways carries more people than all other subways (minus New York and Chicago) in N.A., and as mentioned in various prior posts, (and general stats) the 401 is the busiest stretch of highway in...

Interesting, since Adam Giambrone was quoted in the National Post today to say: Despite the uncertainty, Mr. Giambrone said the TTC is determined to keep projects moving. He said it is planning to order tunnel-boring machines for the Eglinton Crosstown in June. "If this is really about a...

Toronto not building anything between 2001 and 2014? - 6.5 km of sheppard subway. - 8.6 km of Spadina line/York U subway. - 14 km of Sheppard LRT.. Not to mention the St.Clair ROW (jury still out) and all the additional GO projects (Rail link/Georgetown - Lakeshore 3rd track, etc) Plus...

One reassuring thing about having a mayoral position that is pretty much ineffectual and restricted in power is that it can also work in our favour for, if and when, morons like ass-backwards Ford are somehow voted into the spot.

Also, it sounds like this is TOreality's first trip ANY where... New York is New York, but then again, no other city is like it, and yet those other places can be just as great in their own ways.. After travelling all over the world and visiting cities on every continent (minus Antarctic...

Ya, that's not going to happen.. and you know what else isn't going to happen? Rob Ford as mayor.
