There's ain't no party like a Rob Ford party...Dude, stop. Maintain is NOT on the table. That much has already been agreed upon by all parties.
So: you can describe yourself as 'left of centre and progressive' all you want -- and you may very well be on issues such as income inequality or what have you -- but on transit you are a uninformed, unreconstructed car-first conservative.
That doesn't sound like me. And as much as I support grade-separate light RT like that offered by the SRT rebuild - that doesn't mean I'll flat-out ignore the numerous benefits of the Scarboro Subway. Or deny that the project is very much "progressive".
And I don't know why I have to be called "car-first conservative" because of my stance on the Hybrid Gardiner proposal. It's not a political project.

Just a heads up to people that while signals may be active as soon as June 1st, TSP is still undergoing bench testing. I'd estimate an additional couple weeks before it's up and running.
Not according to the notice:
"NB: We have completed extensive bench-testing for the controllers. Signals are nearly all installed and controller installation is underway. We do not anticipate any delays to the above schedule. Should any complications occur, we will issue a second notice."
So I've just been posting photos... I try not to editorialize, because I actually think most things this city does are pretty bad... BUT, The waterfront queens quay reno is pretty amazing! Its exactly what should be done! (I always joke that I refuse to walk on anything other than stone) so these beautiful pavers and trees and benches are perfect!
As an avid watcher of the Waterfront Toronto webcameras, you can see the asphalt beautifulness.
So much work is left to be done on the incomplete stretch that it's hard to imagine it being done in just a couple of weeks but given that this is a small part of such a large project, I guess if they work every day on that remaining portion, they can get it done.
Probably, last Friday the granite on the north sidewalk was 99% done and people were walking on it - ignoring signage (no fences) directing us elsewhere.The mgt is now paved to 400 queens quay. I assume it'll act as pedestrian diversion on the bridge so they can start the interlock.
