i think this was covered earlier, but why doesn't metrolinx put a station on center street? its good station spacing and seems to have decent connections to the surrounding community. and with option 3 its far enough south that the station wouldn't have to be so deep.

Like royal orchard is a tricky situation. To implement the station for a reasonable cost they would need to bridge over the valley. This would make the station shallower and lower the cost. But for them to use option 3 which turns and goes under homes in royal orchard, they have to make the...

so the most recent plan is start at 80 meters, but future proof for 100 meter platforms. Which is okay. I think if they future proof for 120 meter platforms for all underground stations that would be best. It would be almost the same capacity as current TR's on Yonge. Plus Platform screen doors...

so this is the updated rendering for the Fresh Market, under the VIA Concourse Hall. (2019)

The ontario line trains are to be 3 meters wide. The TR trains are 3.2 meters wide. How is 20 cm "significantly narrower"? And yes the metrolinx tender sets 3 meter width as the required standard. With option for 80 meter to 100 meter length at full build out.

https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/8e52-Port-Union-Road-Ortho-Planr-FINAL-compressed.pdf link to Port Union widening roll plan. in the meeting, community members really made it clear bike lanes need protect for day 1. Planning staff stated, they would "consider it". fingers crossed.

Like if not for the concrete it would look very nice. They should have used something like this instead. Harder to tag, better view from the street for safety, and looks so much better. Probably would cost less too.

great diagrams, however in the Scarborough junction flyover, they had lakeshore and Stouffville trains stopping at Scarborough, as it an important transfer node for people that want to head south then east to Pickering instead of union. Do you think Metrolinx would have Stouffville bypass...

so good news and bad news everyone. 1. good news, the Cherry to Jarvis rehabilitation is officially done! hurray 2. bad news, the next phase of rehabilitation (Dufferin and Strachan) was supposed to start this year but is delayed until next year :( 3. worse news is that the whole...

awesome pictures, thanks for the update. 👍

wow this is ridiculous

here steven munro has a brief of the city crosstown west extension options, along with a history of the project. like the city crosstown west website was taken down. anything else you can look up yourself if your interested in the history of the project...

okay so the in the last 30 years what projects has the ttc / city built? Sheppard subway 100% underground (cover bridge over don) 25 meter depth TYSSE 100% underground under industrial lands, and hydro corridors, plenty of room for elevated / at grade. 25 - 30 meters underground. planned...

Okay so part of the study the city did was grade separate and on street. The city did choose the on street version but had studied the below grade option. So soil testing was done, an alignment was chosen and station placement. This work was used by metrolinx because they wanted grade...

okay found the firms website that did some designs for the city of toronto, 2006-2018. Metrolinx took it over 2019. https://www.urbanstrategies.com/project/eglinton-west-lrt-extension-development-of-conceptual-grade-separations/ so metrolinx took over the project and to save time, because the...

the underground crosstown alignment TBM and elevated over humber river was one of the methods studied by the city, once elevated was ruled out. the city opted for at grade because "it was easier to access" but in reality was probably due to cost. The city website is gone now but if i can find...

ya metrolinx is being super inconsistent with the above and below grade justifications. Like the SSE lawrence station depth of 40 meters just ridiculous, should been an elevated bridge over highland creek. but this was the cities plan: single bore, TBM under the river. so because the needed to...

well the Logan ramps are being permanently demolished. however starting in 2024 they will being construction on a new set of ramps just east of Cherry Street. These will be the new lake shore - gardiner access ramps. if all goes well they'll be completed so time in 2026.
