The old Parkside loop tracks, at Lake Shore, popped out of the asphalt for a little while as well. Check http://transit.toronto.on.ca/streetcar/4162.shtml for...
The idea of streetcars by the lake reminds me of the PCCs running past Lake Michigan in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I think it would be a nice sight for Barrie as...
Thx Mike. I love this part of town (cept all the auto shops). It's great to bike along as well. ... I'm not much of a photo-essayist, but earlier today I shot...
... It's really weird. Why would one find many auto repair shops along that 1.5 km stretch of Dupont? And they're all small mom-and-pop operations, rather...
Two level crossings, at Bartlett and Osler, were retained to allow over-sized vehicles to cross the CPR main. A major street was not chosen because it was...

Holy deja vu. First, unless I'm wrong the ttc.ca site STILL has no mention of the Sheppard closure -- although we have seen posters in many locations. The ad...
... I'm confused by this description. Doesn't Rockliffe run north-south, just parallel to Jane? Given that the highest estimated ridership over the entire Jane...
... Probably not a bad plan- the Jane cars could provide the extra service needed on the underground section of Eglinton, and the speedy connection to Eglinton...
Sorry, I was describing the neighbourhood, not the street. I lived in a nearby area for 16 years and I always referred to the east side of Jane street, from...

... That's the rumour going around, yes. The idea is that it would be a westward extension of the Scarborough RT. But a subway or ART running in a completely...
The TTC has added more details to its posting on September service changes. One of the interesting additions involves an issue that we discussed extensively on...
Hi Group I seen CLRV 4087 yesterday on the 502 downtowner run go by Sherbourne & Queen Street Area I noticed that it had camera's in it I am wondering when...
The Globe and Mail article has A "Downtown Core" east-west subway line. "Downtown Core"? To me, "downtown" is below St. Clair Avenue. I think it means a...
... I focus more on centres. King and Bay is unquestionably at the centre of Toronto's downtown. Midtown, for me, is Yonge and St. Clair. Uptown is Eglinton...
... The Metrolinx white papers talk about a King/Queen route, so you're probably right that it is a moderately long east-west trip through downtown and...
Where the Globe says "subway or subway-like" along Eglinton, we'll have to see what the report defines "subway" to be. The first North American subway in...
Not sure that I understand your comment. If the Sheppard East schedule was adjusted for the September board period to reduce headways (versus adding a...
Dear fans: I was researching transit tunnels vs. bridges for the North Yonge Subway Extension. There is a local debate as to how to cross the Don River. How...
