Building LFLRT on Eglinton Ave and Don Mills should not be deemed "sensible" by any measures. Also, converting a high-floor rapid transit service to a low-floor one, while it has its benefits, is not "sensible" either tbh.

Imagine thinking this poll isn't biased based on its target audience, the phrasing of questions/answers, the lack of an option for LIM, the lack of representation by the individuals that would actually use the service, and the fact that the sample size is far too small to have any sort of merit...

I did for half a year, along with at least 100 other people that left through the north access road, and another 150-200 that left through the south access road. With a new Menkes development opening up just across the 407, I can guarantee a bunch more people will too.

This is pretty standard in Canada and the US, and yes, that's exactly what they're fearful of. Lawsuits for god knows what are very common here, so if some dumbass decides to drive into a tower, and something bad happens (Falling infrastructure, damage to a tower, or even just the driver...

Liability and access...it's not more complicated than that. All the major utility providors (Enbridge, Hydro One, Bell/Rogers/Telus, etc) are like this, especially Enbridge and Hydro One because there's so much danger with their utilities. ,

Quit mentioning this, we've already discussed this like 5 times. No one knows what the design of the OL's interchange at Science Center is going to look like. Why on Earth would we complain about it when we don't even have a design? Also, if it's a 4 story vertical transfer, I guarantee you...

Rosedale and Summerhill maybe, but anything in the Annex and West of the Annex is all transit users. It's a shame the dupont streetcar no longer exists.

Stick with the TTC font...Why waste millions of dollars changing all the maps in the name of accessibility when additional elevators and ramps are much better for said accessibility?

So a rapid bus gets its own logo but the subway does not? For christ sake... Also, they should use the TTC font. It's distinctly Toronto and would make these roundals stand out more.

W — Lakeshore West E — Lakeshore East M — Milton B — Barrie K — Kitchener S — Stoufville R — Richmond Hill U — Union Pearson Future M — Midtown P — Peterborough The only one that doesn't work is Bolton. Regardless, this is all arbitrary, as it was with the TTC nomenclature update. Give it a...

The HOV lane expansion is a resurfacing of the entire 401 between RR 25 and Credit River. None of the freeway has a concrete base. Source: I'm looking at the drawings right now.

This is not happening on the 401 HOV lanes expansion through mississauga and milton, and there is nothing in the OPSS that states the particular roadway design, that is up to the Contracting Authority.

No, it really makes it clear as to why the eastern portion should have been elevated. - Minimal redevelopment potential in many areas, especially around the don valley - No homes within a close enough proximity for it to be an issue - Poor intersection design (access/egress) - Usage of...

and utilities.

And cities, such as LA, Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, and Newark don't exist? Because those cities also have either electrified regional rail, a subway system, or both. And yet Wilson, Yorkdale, Sheppard West, Eglinton West, and Lawrence West still get great ridership. You can very easily...

Factoring in inflation at the start of construction, the use of only 2 TBMs, and the fact that the Sheppard subway was bare-bones built, the cost of the TYSSE and Sheppard subway are pretty similar.

Those slow sections are still accounted for in the average speed of the line, so this is a moot point.

Good god, why is there a UPX platform at this station...

Lets stop using full lifecycle costs and instead use CAPITAL Costs like normal people: Hurontario LRT CAPITAL cost: 2.1 Billion ECLRT CAPITAL cost: 5.3 Billion Hurontario CAPITAL Cost/km — 2.1B/18 km = ~117 M$/km ECLRT CAPITAL Cost/km — 5.3B/19km = ~279 M$/km It should be noted that over half...

No, the issue is that you only have to pay 2.75 to go 30 miles (50 km) in their system, and the fact that they have a huge bus network.
