From today's Star - holy crap!

Agreed - and not managing to get ownership of the 355 Yonge plot either...

And the TMU press release is here At last, TMU will have a "face" on YD Square - really marking the entrance to the University. Fair enough.

Oof Celina Caesar-Chavannes got just 253 votes. Not even a modicum of name recognition helped... And I noticed Mammoliti managed to get banned from twitter. Oh well!

See you later, Tory. I don't think they'll be building a statue of you in years to come, lets put it that way.

Chow's first 100 days, according to CP24

Chloe Brown did well again - beating two city councillors, including Bradford! I wonder if Hunter regrets resigning to run... 🍿

true - but service life is usually the period of time when a rolling stock performs consistently at a reliable level. The 51 year old Bakerloo line trains are literally rusting away, and London has a central government that doesn't care enough to fund replacements...

If the T1 trains had been overhauled.... By 2030, the trains will be 35 years old and at end of life...

Utterly embarrassing really - completely agree with this. Imagine how silly the Scarborough Subway will look in 203x, served by knackered unreliable trains... or no trains at all! My bleak bit of hope is that the TTC is playing 4D chess, and have cancelled the RFP to get the province/Ottawa to...

It really does look impressive - do CCxA do bad projects?!

I do hope that Tory's u-turn by endorsing Bailão backfires. The sudden realisation from the right and centre-right in the last week that the election looks like Chow's to lose has been ... interesting to watch.

They aren't necessary given international examples - but North American practice is to include them, therefore more excavation is required. In the Ontario line's case - the trains will be separated from the platforms, so there's already a fire break! For example, fare gates located above the...

I continue to be surprised that Moss Park doesn't need an emergency exit at the far end of the cut and cover station box - for emergency use, there's a very long corridor from the far end back to the station pavilion.

Honestly, huge congrats to UTers for pushing for these documents. I'll continue to be annoyed about the full height mezzanines (when Crossrail and Sydney Metro show that they're not necessary to meet very stringent fire/evacuation regulations) but that's a story for another day.

Presentation slides are up

Also - instead of starting with a P3 LRT project on Finch etc, ML had their first P3 LRT project be the longest line, with a complex mix of technologies, build methods and interfaces. Maybe if Sheppard East, Scarborough or Finch had been built first - the ML team would have been more...

I hope that Finch West will demonstrate the benefits of replacing high ridership bus corridors with light rail sooner rather than later - bus lanes can only go so far (even with express buses and artics) compared to a proper segregated tram with TSP! It's a lot harder to water down a LRT than a...

(The LRT only goes as far as Sheppard-McCowan, where the provincial proposal for a subway also ends. The proposal of subway from Don Mills to McCowan remains)
