Just to add, the conductor let me know they are slowly replacing older trains with new ones as they come out. For the Sarnia, that means the new trains complete the trip twice a week.

I believe there is a ramp on the north (Sunnybrook) side & then you can cross back south (E. T. Seton parking lot side) by going through the tunnel under Eglinton which is just to the west of the stairs.

From today. Is the stub of the old mall staying? We were in the area today & grabbed some groceries at the FreshCo there. Seems really handy for the residents.

Given how far they cut back into the hill I'm a bit surprised the parking lot isn't wider.

Some shots inside the newer VIA cars, Venture I think.

And Tokyo has the Golden Turd, so yeah, we're in good company. I'll join you in calling them the Butt Slap towers.

I agree too. To add - I hope the community centre also has a nice west view so that it's accessible to more people (we have a dearth of affordable observatories in TO). But by all means, if a restaurant space were incorporated that could also help with the ROI. (How about one reasonable spot &...

Aren't some also confusing "chose to take a bike" with "strongly incentivized to take a bike"? There's a growing segment of the population that can't afford a car and lives where the TTC doesn't really provide them a straight path to get to work. For them, the choice to take the TTC rather than...

Transit is insane too. We were on bus 65 yesterday & it was so packed leaving Castle Frank that no one else could get on until the Distillery where everyone got off except us (we were going skating at Sherbourne Common). Regardless of who owns the Distillery District, I'm not sure why...

Gray eyes Wanna see myself in your eyes We don't wanna be cold We don't wanna get old But now Let me sink into your gray eyes

Sounds plausible. What I do know is that they opted to fully raise the bike lanes on College street, and that much of Danforth is still just separated by concrete bumpers with reflective bollards sticking up out of them (no ramps). With Dofo's recent announcement, we're likely going to be...

Roller skate rink. Saw signs advertising there'd be one in Union again this year.

It's not solely for the psychological purpose of making bike lanes seem like they aren't taking away from the road - it's also to make it safer as the curb is a better barrier than a bumper with flimsy bollards. Yes, pedestrians will walk into the lane sometimes (like they do along...

Here're some pics taken earlier this week of the golf course parking lot construction that's been mentioned:

It's my understanding that the road-level bike lanes are a quick and cheap way to build out the network and that they'll raise them to sidewalk height at some point in the future likely at the same time other roadwork is planned so that it can be done efficiently all at the same time.

Thank you for answering. Indeed, I suspect many drivers don't even know they're supposed to leave one metre. The reason I asked is because there are a lot of people arguing online that the bike lanes take up more room than if cyclists just stick to the side of the road, but you've just helped me...

Question - are cars not legally required to pass bikes with a 1-metre leeway? In some spots, doesn't that mean that bike lanes actually allow cars to pass closer to a cyclist than they'd technically be allowed to pass if there were no bike lane at all?

Some wholesalers do have minimum spends, but Costco isn't one of them. Yes, you do need a membership there.

Why assume you can't use a bike to shop at Costco? 😂 I can do a week's plus worth of groceries for two adults in one trip on my touring bike since I have a big front basket, paniers, a large flat back rack, and a backpack. I even once took a mattress home by bike. Add a trailer and I could...

There's a Christmas market at Stackt which is very close to the Well. The St. Lawrence area would be another nice spot for a winter market. Even though it's kind of close to the Distillery, it also has an old-timey nostalgic feeling that many associate with Christmas. Not to say the Stackt to...
