Ford has been messing with almost every transit plan that was thought to be set-in-stone, to believe that there wasn't a change of planning theory when Ford came in is unbelievable given his track record. To simply say only the Scarborough Subway has his fingerprints on is fanciful. Just an...

Oh thank you for pointing that out, I must have missed that part in the IBC, my apologies. Disregard my points about that. Then my criticisms of althe YRT bus bay like that is that it's not necessarily close to the population, it's abutted in-between Highway 7 and Highway 407. But I suppose...

Again, I'm going to forcefully disagree at removing Ford, the government at the head of the province. It's pretty clear that Metrolinx is at the behest of the provincial government. Metrolinx isn't devolved from it. It isn't independent. To even think that Ford isn't into determining what...

It's Doug Ford's plan still. He is the Premier. He is the one promoting and to build it. I don't see a necessary difference to split the authority of Metrolinx and Doug Ford, especially considering his history of meddling in transit projects. Very true about property rights about the cemetery...

Sorry, but that is absolutely hilarious that you think a highway in suburbs, where housing prices have already skyrocketed, is going to narrow the class divide. Let alone that you say the highway would be open to all Ontarians when the car is a symbol of privilege and many lower class people...

oh true thanks

This seems like a complete contradiction. You claim the property the highway 413 goes through is "wealthy white mega estates", which means that rich people would live and use the highway. But then you claim "many of the primary users [of the highway] would be less wealthy people" because they...

"Ooh what flavour is the Kool-Aid?" is not a productive contribution to this thread. Differing opinions are welcome but being condescending and rude is not. And by the way, who even drinks Kool-Aid anymore, so 90s. Use a more relevant contemporary beverage insult atleast.

I made this future map some months ago.

Quick map I made of what I think the Richmond Hill Subway extension should be instead. An in-between the original all-underground alignment and Ford's new less-undergound-as-possible alignment. From Finch, it would go up north and turn east at the border of the Holy Cross Cemetary. It would...

I would say have both one north-south (Vic Park or Warden) and one east-west (Finch). You can extend the Finch West LRT east toward Finch Station on Line 1 and then further east to your proposed L'Amoureux station. Which could then be extended even further east to Woodside Square and Malvern on...

I just particularly don't like extending one of the lines toward Humber Bay and west considering that Waterfront LRT will be going the exact same route. I much prefer if Lake Shore and Queensway become at-grade ROW and be part of the existing streetcar infrastructure rather than underground...

Because even with all the proposed Toronto transit lines, it would not be befitting of the image of a future metropolis that the game wants. A crazy spaghetti like London, Paris and New York gives off the feeling better.

Exactly. If the city would just give proper ROW and proper street signal timing for all the streetcar routes, the city would move so much more people at a much cheaper cost than underground transit.

Absolutely. The spacing between Corktown and East Harbour is incredibly long and with the new developments in East Bayfront and the Port Lands, a station at Cherry would be very much needed. Maybe if it was named the Distillery Station, Ford will be more inclined to include it in the plans...

The province has released new proposals for the future of Ontario Line and a new so-called Trillium Line that will supplement the former. Map was created by Metrolinx and absolutely 100% not me. Totally was not made on an expensive exchange-rate subscription of Adobe Illustrator. Metrolinx...

The St Petersburg Police department clearly wants to rearrange US states so they could have a clear lines of sight to Toronto. Suspicious of us Torontonians, them Floridians are.

I don't see how including that Natural Surveillance will be hindered in an aboveground or underground option for Eglinton West is "biased". The at-grade format with many lines of sight in what is essentially an open plan design is much better for Natural Surveillance than the worse lines of...

Even in the elevated and underground options for Eglinton West, people still have to cross the road anyways to get to the stations. People have to cross the road on their way to the station. People cross the street all the time. It's an extremely rare occurrence that someone incurs a vehicle...
