Ajax is trying to revitalize its Downtown but i find it be a bit inaccessible with no direct 401 or GO access. Pickering Centre will have very good access to both the 401 and GO.

Providing redundancy to key areas is a very underrated aspect of Smarttrack. Some are trying to create a push back against "overbuilding" transit in terms of ridership but here we would be providing extra options as well as introducing a new layer of reliability that is much needed. Both...

Sadly many vocal "advocate" groups are little more then political extensions with a priority that is anything but ensuring infrastructure is built. It is a good thing to have groups (political or not) with differing views during debate phases but lets call them what they really are. That way...

I really like the revitalization plans here for Pickering and the suburban-urban bridge the creates main non-vehicle walk able outdoor areas surrounded by vehicle access with garages as well as public transit access. Very practical and underrated design. And I fully agree a thousand times...

Pretty much most major intersections across the GTA now have beggars. I had friends in Vaughan discussing this change not to long ago. They mentioned a sizable increase above Steeles which they believe is due to an influx in refugees Whereas throughout Toronto from Etobicoke thru Scarborough...

These streets have a mature old town feel and are some of the highest demand streets. Most certainly many residents in these areas are out to protect this and its a big part of the reason we see the Councillor push back on sidewalk. Personally I also wouldn't want to raise kids in areas with...

Im 100% with you there should be atleast a sidewalk on one side of every street at an absolute minimum. But disagree it takes away any value and I feel its the opposite reason its often opposed. Many of these streets are old, quiet with a mature treeline which is in very high demand. I...

Its quite simple. Like most here im very interested in urban growth and infrastructure, moreso this that impact my commute. All views should be allowed to be discussed or debated on topic without being bullied or personally attacked. As I said i was not expecting such extreme baiting, and...

I really could care less what funding was available from the (surely also politcally low balled) old LRT plan. We needed to improve the connectivity and certain grade seperation and there was going to be a cost. It was a very good solution backed by a Metrolinx study. The Province has far...

I have the poster blocked but can safely assume who is there is one that is somewhat obsessed . And it's his/her shtick to go after me with the same type of post up every few month for years. I feel targeted so I will shed my light. Basically when I signed up years ago I didn't expect such...

I get we can add in the all the missing meat to the story but my statements stand accurate the McCowan corridor was tabled solely by the Liberals at the stage they did. A Ford was not even involved in any meaningful discussion at that point and the agreement Rob had with Dalton was to extend...

A main issue I have is whether you agree with the cancellation of Transit City or not the aftermath has been marred in decisions the Fords never controlled in any way and thats not what we're often told by the anti Con media and the anti Con/Ford posters here on UT. Doug and the conservatives...

Im not sure what if any reasonable engineering solution is available. We'll have to see what options are looked at in this review but since the scope is to look at elevating and adding/removing stops im pretty sure this is the key area of interest on this line in addition to Brimley/Eglinton...

Fact is Rob agreed with the Province to move forward to connect the Eglinton Crosstown LRT with no transfer and Sheppard subway to fix "Transfer City". Collective council overturned to go back to the old LRT plan and the Liberals under Sobara thru Stintz and De Baeremaeker brought forth this...

Most Provincial parties have some form of unity on these projects. The amalgamated City was an absolute disaster for planning and its much more reasonable to expect lines to be built in staged time frames. Transit City was bi product of poor funding (at all levels), out of place territorial...

Wait a minute. I shouldn't be told to admit something that is broadly false simply because I support better connection or share in the common UT hysterics Ford indeed spearheaded the cancellation of Transit City at the front of his Mayoral campaign and which i completely agreed with. But if...

With the City? Gawd No. Never again. The amalgamated City is far too entrenched in divisive territorial politics and shown to be collectively incapable of planning for the greater good. Much greater unity with the bigger picture in mind at the higher level. I do agree the Province could have...

The one stop subway was an absurd idea. To Fords credit he is fixing the line which every other politician in the Province and City should have been doing previously. Instead many did the opposite. I have very little issue with the slight delay here to get the most out of this chosen corridor...

Cut the crap. There really is no need to paint a false picture and make chit up simply because you don't agree. On this topic the provincial NDP had little transit direction and would have allowed the ridiculous 1 stop be built, the Liberals were the worst as they ran as "subway champions"...

The RT is an out of place disconnected piece of crap. The fools are the Politicians which tried to replicate here and on Sheppard, and continue to propagate that we wont see the subway extended each time there is a change to fix the subway line created by councils collective dysfunction and...
