Nice to see they're replacing those stinky old broken down double-deckers.

One question: Will they still function when filled to the brim with ice and snow?

^ I was wondering the same thing. Is all that gear supposed to be out in the elements or are there fairings missing?

How very neat and unique. I wonder if this is a private home?

androiduk's TTC car pics reminds me I took this one a few days ago of some rather older transportation tech down near the CN Tower. I converted a colour pic into 'Silvered' black and white using Adobe Photoshop Express.

Bloor & Avenue Rd. Those planters are quite attractive with that layering of the plants and flowers.

Agree and is the road paving courtesy of the Yorkville BIA? If so, can we expect more of the streets there to get the same treatment? We have too much of a patchwork of designs in our public realm already. More uniformity would tie it altogether more successfully. How many types of sidewalk, lamp posts, road signs, and road paving do we need. Cutting it down to 2 types of each would be great... 3 in special circumstances.

At the very least keep neighbourhoods uniform. Those granite sidewalks on Bloor should eventually wrap around here for instance.
