You know, you could just get off at Spadina and take the streetcar. The route you're asking for is right there!

On my way home from Simpsons Trivia last night, I was going up Black Creek and at Eglinton there now seems to be a crane and definite construction activity happening there. Though I'm not sure if it's for The Crosstown or if it's for the Community Centre that supposed to go into that corner of...

He's a complicated man But no one understands him but his woman (brother? Giorgio Mammoliti?)... Rob Ford wishes he was John Shaft!

You sure about that? Knowing your Mayor, he'll probably salivate at those savings so that he could put it towards extending the Sheppard line.

They kind of did. Another reason for the University line was to provide a downtown link from the western part upcoming Bloor-Danforth line (Keele) which was going to open 3 years later in 1966 and also (ironically) to relieve the Yonge line which was rapidly becoming crowded. I believe the...

It's not just a Toronto thing, all streetcars should have the conductor's bell. In Boston you hear them every thirty seconds on their Green Line.

I agree with you and believe that this solution will be "the compromise". Much like the first "compromise" to save The Crosstown line. TC supporters would want it be as it was -- with only a partial underground sections and Ford and his allies will bark at the moon because 'them darn streetcars...

Yeah it's not the prettiest of buildings and apparently its the same owner/developer that's doing Volare down the street at Highway 7 and Kipling. However, I must say anything and I mean anything, is better than what's there right now:

Definitely going down to Hillcrest to see these. :o

I'm surprised that t-shirts and buttons haven't been made yet. Geez, this city was quick with the "I slept with Adam Giambrone" buttons and the "Left Wing Bike Riding Pinko" and "I survived the 2010 Toronto Earthquake" t-shirts. I thought for sure something like this would have produced...

Well like I said Thanos, it was just a thought. Hoping that someone could take it an expand on it as I have no idea what it would take to implement this type of "registry". You bring up some solid rebuttal points, which I've thought of as well. I mean it's easy to spot a motorist, it's easy to...

I know a this would create a loophole however, I always thought why not "license" or "register" those cyclists that use their bikes as their only mode of transportation? This could separate the leisurely cyclists from the commuter cyclist. I also had a thought that if cyclists pay a sort of...

I think Amy Rose was referring to the question which I asked, "What do you call a future Jane station on the Eglinton-Crosstown?"

Why do I feel that this meme is appropriate for this project:

Maybe if you wanted to get from the 427 to Martin Grove -- have you ever tried going from the Airport to the 401; via the 409 at around -- oh, say... 5:30pm? :P :)

So tell us what your family is like, so that we can judge you.

That's true, I didn't think of that. It's just that saying "Get off at Highway 407" sounds even sillier! I'd be willing to bet that people would think "I'm getting off in the middle of a highway?". What about "Jane-Vaughan"; this is telling people that you're on Jane, but in Vaughan.. not...

Jane Mid-Town. :p:p

I'm not sure what to make of this. We've heard that the new streetcars were "next on the agenda" to be "cut". We also know of Rob Ford's dislike of the streetcars. Is Rob Ford quietly saying "Yes, there will be new streetcars; I can't get rid of them like I thought?"

I agree with this statement. Though I chose my own station name of "407 Transitway" -- seeing as that's what this station is to become in the future with the supposed BRT coming as well. However, I wouldn't opposed "Jane North" either. However, what do you call a future Jane Station on the...
