Many will likely continue to use the sidewalks for their own safety until the the City becomes serious about addressing these types of details when developing a transit plan in these areas. Hopefully this red paint stunt will raise some voices again to shed light and urgency for better planning...

I'll be fair and say it helps cyclists along this corridor in the sense they only have to contend with aggressive bus drivers and not both car and buses. Aside from that, its still not all that safe, moreso when cars are turning from a lane over onto side streets. Not a worthwhile upgrade by...

Dashed lines are usually in areas where modes conflict, with car, buses and cyclist Likely a warning for cyclists to be on extra alert in that area if cars are merging in that area

I'll gladly own my bitterness when seeing decades of corner-cutting planning from the City of Toronto specifically as it relates to to Scarborough. Seeing over and over an accepted toxic culture of bullying and push back from other areas of the City, while at the same time planning far superior...

Sheesh, what does this current coat of red paint even have anything to do with BRT's and LRTs? Absolutely nothing When did I ever say I had anything against BRT or LRT? Never I hope use are just mistaken in your post and not trying to falsely frame to attack the opinion which. It is common on...

Oh really? First, do you take transit along this corridor, cause I do? Do you live in this area, cause I do? If you do lets have a healthy debate. I strongly feel this is a complete sham that contributes very little to no enhancements for public transit users, cyclists and car drivers in the...

City of Toronto planning for East Scarborough Cool red paint - check Fake cycling lane - check Fake rapid bus transit - check Loss of vehicle lane with no improvements- check Fight next Mayor who trys to fix the mess - TBD

The density is certainly overkill in scale and will likely stand out for a few decades as poor migration planning but the distance to GO wont be a huge factor a the development will be near the BRT on Kingston rd which is similar to what Markham & RH have been doing on HWY 7 I'm not opposed...

Refreshing to see a nicely designed condo going up in the heart of Scarborough. About time. This one should help set the tone and hopefully raise the bar for others that go up in the surrounding intersection and hopefully other parts as well moving forward

The biggest issue we faced was a dysfunctional amalgamated City Council admin that chose not to listen to the voters and initial Scarborough council requests on how to upgrade the RT. Over time Scarborough councils requests for the BDL extension became diluted and they had to join and move on...

Why it was cancelled? Transit City was easy to overturn with voter support based on its piss poor design, with various concerns on all lines Why we dont have shovels? 1. Council refused to work with Ford on upgrading to a subway or connected LRT in a weak Mayor council system 2..John Tory...

I fully agree, although at this time the western extension is not being reviewed. Those extensions are the kind of details other Provincial parties can counter and help with progress and gain political support.

There is really no tangible support to stop progress on this line outside the usual noisy special interest groups and a small minority of extreme types in the Core of the City. No party would even consider such a move at this stage with the RT already in the middle of it's life support phase...

That is one issue for sure. The Province and Feds are similar in that area in regards to lack of long term funding plans although they have the vehicles the City doesnt to build. In any case City lobbying still has to occur and can never be effective when the City itself refuses to put...

Realistically the traffic signals are not even set up to be car friendly in most areas of the City The biggest issue paralyzing the City of TO is that it can only cater to one group, or ideology at a time. There is far too much political pressure right now to cater to special interest mobs...

They can advertise all they want. If the coat of paint doesn't really improve travel time and makes travel worse for many others the final result wont be so desirable. This is a far too important of corridor to the City to be hacking a poorly designed 'feel good' gesture Special interest...

Boost ridership? I take the bulk of the line from Morningside Crossing to Kennedy and the right lane is not an issue, really its not. Traffic signalling, fleet size and the mess around Kennedy station with inevitable construction causing delays are the big issues right now impacting comfort...

Its not even a BRT. Just a hastily designed 'rapid' bus lane that will create congestion, confusion, and adds no cycle infrastructure along a corridor that really isnt very crowded in the right lane to begin with. Aside from having to stop at too many red lights, the poor frequency right now...

Nevermind subways? Yet in reality we are currently planning and building subway extensions. The 'we cant afford' division politics, is exactly what ended up costing us billions more from wasting time for these inevitable lines. The GTA will continue to grow and expand, relief will continue...

This looks to be a reasonable addition for the area given the VHL bombs across the street. But could still go either way depending upon the final materials used to construct
