Bramalea a great redevelopment site? Ewww.. That area is significantly industrial. A condo complex was built there around a decade ago, but that's it. That area isn't prime for development.

The linear park is planned to be much than just a bike path. A simple bike path would a good use in the SRT corridor. GDB wants a "cultural icon" to attract tourists. Like tourists will want a view of industry and parking lots.

I know I can't wait to for a great view of the industrial plants and parking lots! Bring on the elevated park!

^^Glenn De BaerMaeker has a crazy dream to turn the structure into some sort of linear park.

I have lots of strong words for GDB, which will most likely get me suspended from here, so I'll hold my tongue. He's easy the most self-serving councilor in the city.

The streetcar acesss is open, and you'll find RT-71 parked on the Yonge-bound platform.

Your age is revealed! I kid. MMO stands for Massively Multiplayer online.

When I lived in Brampton, I had a friend who's house will adjacent to a major arterial and he had a noise wall in his backyard. Kept the road noise down, but it was really unappealing to look at from inside the house. Give me a wood fence anyday, even if it means more noise.

^^Here's hoping the anti-transit pyschos on council don't get their way.

The way the province is treating the city, I wouldn't expect things to be better under a provincial takeover.

^^So what's new? I don't get why the TTC won't increase the cash fare. 5.8% increase is just crazy.

I remember the TTC commissioned a report on building a new trolleybus network a few years ago. It was done by Dr. Richard Soberman. I couldn't find the report, but here is Steve Munro's blog post on the report. http://stevemunro.ca/?p=1821

I fully support Alstom Citadis for ION and Crosstown!

King County Metro (Seattle) is currently testing a New Flyer Trolley Bus and is expected to receive the first of 141 buses soon. ETB's perform better than diesel buses on hilly routes and require less maintenance overall. They cost considerably more than a conventional bus and you have to...

Of all the imcumbents, De Baeremaeker was on top of the list of councillors I wanted gone. He's easily the worst councillor. The guy has no integrity and has no problem saddling the City with debt just because he got spooked by Rob Ford. Such a scumbag.

I take the subway everyday to work, and I sometime get cold T1's. I find it annoying that people will blame an entire technology for a few malfunctioning vehicles. I have to yet to ride a cold streetcar. Always warm, except when someone opens a window.

On Miway buses, people tap and stare at the screen all the time. It's really annoying.

I guarantee you, most Torontonians do not have a PRESTO card. I have one, only because I'm a transitfan and I use GO to travel to Brampton occasionally.

I expect many travellers will not have a Presto Card.

I rode 4404 Saturday and Sunday. All 3 were out on Sunday.
