I think the speed (or lack of) issues here have been well documented and discussed, so I will only mention in passing an anecdote (not evidence) from a trip to Amsterdam, where the tram passes though pedestrianized streets in spots......at speeds exceeding 40km/ph.
You hear the warning bell/horn....and you're expected to get the hell off the track because the train is not going slowly just in case........
*****
That anecdote offered, we need some proper commitment to investigative journalism here at UT, so someone must ask the clear and pressing question:
@Edward Skira how was your Line 6 branded cookie?

Don Mills is a generation away, if ever.
The airport is very much in the cards, but not in the near-term list of projects; and if they don't iron out the problems here w/speed/travel time, it will die quickly.

I suspect yesterday's reaction to the speed, combined with the Crosstown's expected slow speed in the at-grade sections next year, will create enough pressure for the TTC to make improvements, including transit signal priority.

There's many here that are saying that it's not up to TTC to do TSP, but city council.
If that's the case, everyone needs to start emailing their city council rep daily so this issue is brought to the forefront.
I fear that even TTC isn't able to talk about this, yet many have heard through the grapevine that it's city council fault why it's not active despite having everything ready to go.

Lemme remind everyone about a motion moved and passed by the mayor to look into the implementation of signal priority on Eglinton and report back to council in October.
....They did not report back in October 2025's meeting
I'd recommend everyone call the mayor's office. If this is Finch right now, this is going to be Eglinton too.
