There's a lot of bus routes with just as much pedestrian traffic as any streetcar route. And in any case, there's no way for a streetcar to end up anywhere near the sidewalk. Seems to me like the bigger issue is people carelessly jaywalking with the impression that the streetcar tracks are...

Going westbound on Sheppard, there's no turn restrictions in the afternoon until you get to Pewter. For people going north on Yonge, there are no turn restrictions at all if they want to cut through the neighbourhood to Easton or Senlac. The ratepayers' group asks for turn restrictions except...

If people in those neighbourhoods don't want traffic to detour on their side streets, they can ask for turn restrictions or barriers to stop traffic from using their neighbourhoods in that way. Of course, in all likelihood they won't because whatever restrictions are made would apply to them as...

By the letter of the law, it's totally legal under s. 150 (1) of the HTA. As long as there's not someone else in the way, you can use bike lanes to pass a car that's turning left.

It shouldn't matter how much paint they use, especially in a city that seemingly has no standards for it. If there's no separation and there's nobody on a bike in sight, it's safe to use it to get around a car that's stopped.

It depends a lot on context. If we have two people on the 401, one driving 50 in the right lane with their flashers on, and another driving 95 in the left lane, the driver in the left lane is a bigger problem than the one in the right lane. There's a lot of totally valid reasons for someone to...

https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/accountability-operations-customer-service/complaints-claims-compliments/make-a-claim-against-the-city/pothole-claims/ I've had to do this before. If you can, go back to the spot and take a picture of the pothole (do this before filing the claim, because...

It's just a buffered bike lane, not a separated one. If a car is stopped waiting to turn left, cars will be able to use the bike lane (when no bike is nearby, obviously) to get around the car that's waiting. Gerrard and Wellesley East both work the same way - they're separated bike lanes, but...

The condominium doesn't allow it, but it's hard (and expensive) for them to go after owners who do it.

There's also been a Second Cup inside Eglinton for as long as I can remember. https://www.ttc.ca/PDF/Transit_Planning/Subway ridership 2016.pdf The ~125,000 figure (which adds up ridership on the two subways and the buses) is kinda dumb because most bus/Sheppard subway passengers are...

Everyone forgets that until amalgamation, North York had a big tax advantage over the city core. NYCC was built up with offices in the 80s and 90s because you could get downtown-like access (a subway line and major freeway) without the core's milking of office space for property tax revenue. As...

The other four lanes would go down to Lakeshore between Cherry and Munition Street.

What's a cheaper alternative other than making Lake Shore Blvd even more "highway-like" (seemingly the preferred alternative of this forum)? If we want to make things better for pedestrians, we should be looking at moving cars from the surface street to the elevated freeway, not the other way...

On the northeast corner? It's another condo building.

A consulting firm is going to assign its most valuable resources to the projects that make the most money, and no transit agency anywhere in the world has the money for that (certainly not for a fare card system that's just a matter of customizing existing software).

Every computer in the world has similar problems waiting for somebody to dig them up. In some cases, a single vulnerability can affect every computer in the world. These are notoriously hard to find, and a random transit agency isn't going to be hiring top-notch software testers. That would...

It's something that works just fine 99.999% of the time, but goes horribly wrong if you do some very specific and very unusual set of steps. A Software QA Analyst's job is to find those specific & unusual steps (in this case, it seems like he's a freelancer trying to get his name some...

That show wasn't TTC corporate communications. It was a city councillor trying to improve his personal brand because he was going to run for mayor.

This isn't a concern for anyone who takes the subway or buses and has to pull out their card to get in. It wasn't a concern for streetcar users until a few years ago either. If anything, switching to Presto is an improvement here because people can leave the card in their wallet and hold that...

This seems like the closest thread for the 8570-8630 Woodbine development. They basically built a plaza with around 10 fast food restaurants and a few other businesses, but nowhere near enough parking (maybe 100-120 spots). It's been a pretty bad mess every time I go. The parking lot is full and...
