How much soda water are you buying that paper bags would make it an undue burden? And since you bring it up, I have 3 major grocery chains within a 5 minute walk so if anyone wanted something like right now they'd probably get it themselves. Stick to complaining about the city wasting...

The irony is probably lost on him. I can't wait to see the professional agitators out in force at the next meeting pulling an all-nighter to demand plastic bags be put back into stores. He needs the people now that he's losing votes? Boo hoo. You have unplanned trips to the grocery...

Does this mean the mayor is gone too?

Start with the easy stuff. The wide parts of College Street, Queen West, Bathurst, University, Bay, Front etc first. Get the ball rolling without having to inflame the war on cars faction. There's no need to get them riled up just to get such an initiative off its feet. The more...

That's incredible.

CP24 is trash. Par for the course. If you remember the last 5.0 earthquake that happened 600km away, the talking heads that were on the street talking to the people were trying to drum up panic with their pathetic and pithy questions to random folk.

Then you'd have as few as one line out of commission instead of upwards of three. Besides this is not the first time that Union has been shutdown due to flooding. It has happened before after heavy rains and the occasional burst water pipe.

Have to re-iterate after today: ABU. Anywhere But Union.

I had no idea that people held such romantic views of casino resorts...

If the east end of the Danforth line becomes inadequate in 25 years, Eglinton east can be upgraded as a Danforth Relief Line. Seems logical.

By that logic, the only transit that does anything is the local bus. Why bother having anything else? RT refurbishment isn't starting until after the election.

Can you picture this once PRESTO comes to save the 500,000 TTC users from tokens? Who's going to save us from PRESTO?

The eastern end of the Danforth line is boxed in by the lake. It's the same reason why they didn't want to build a Queen line out to the east end. Also please stop making the mistake of believing that a few small condo buildings at a station brings in anything more than a pittance of trips.

It's only doubled because the eastern leg of the Danforth line would get cleared out.

Why? I listed in the other thread at least half a dozen things that would probably be a better use of funds than to do what you suggest within a 50 year time horizon.

I'll even add paying for signal upgrades on existing lines and buying more of the legacy streetcars as better use of new dollars than more absurd gold plating under Sheppard.

The only one on your list worth using new revenue dollars on is finishing Eglinton to the airport. 1) DRL 2) GO electrification 3) Fixing road jogs in various parts of the city, Keele Street is an obvious one 4) Eastern waterfront 5) Transit City Bus Plan 6) Yonge extension

That's a good one. When were they off track, genius?

Better to have Sheppard up before 2015 and the SRT shutdown.

Do you think Lastman had people like Towhey and Kouvalis lurking in the back rooms?
