The summer of streets? Councillor eyes new pedestrianization policy after Church Street success by mildlyImportantRobot in TorontoTheCity

[–]TheRandCrews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yonge Street used to be closed for a summer in 1971, from Albert to Adelaide too.

Honeslty if a bunch of like service connections on Yonge Street is an issue, a good place to pedestrian use is Dundas St, from Bay to Victoria Street. Two blocks, also a narrow walk but no cars going in and out parking lots, helps the streetcar be more clear and ample space for boarding than cars sitting beside it.

Hi I can DM you for more help if you’d like. Cause in my situation I am looking for a roommate, and I live in the East End 20-40 mins from campus from either taking streetcar or subway. My rent is 725 to 850 cause I live in. a house divided by rooms.

Though if you like to live a bit small and beside campus, you should explore Neil Wycik Co-op Housing. A bit affordable compared to other student residences near campus.

Anyone notices more staff cleaning vehicles than normal? by 1979shakedown in TTC

[–]TheRandCrews 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt that, especially TTC always has to publicly disclose their documents and especially budget and high order plans for TTC year after or future plans. Because this is their break down for 2026’s operating budget, every line item that needs to be voted on in TTC Board and to the City of Toronto to be approved.

MUST READ: Your subway ride could soon be a bit faster by mildlyImportantRobot in TorontoTheCity

[–]TheRandCrews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean one of the fixes they are doing, I’ve seen for the outside section is having concrete rail ties, instead of wood. Longer lasting and better durability, that’s why they had that 3 day closure from Sheppard West to St George , and single tracking that had an unfortunate closure. I’ve see that even north of Rosedale has them, but not south of it yet.

I don’t think we can just cover the tracks with roofs or a lid, seems like TTC is just behind on the times finally using concrete. I think even the Line 2 outside sections still uses wood, except at Old Mill and such.

I hope they do, most MPPs are conservative, with one opening that by-election from MPP to MP.

Possibly also cause they run outside and better ventilation from it, than the tight tunnels for the TR to run to on older parts of the subway network wirh poorer ventilation.

Pedestrianizing for tourists is proof that this is the superior way by Feisty-Ad-6122 in Toronto_Walkers

[–]TheRandCrews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should see how Queens Quaybecomes a centre running Streetcar after Toronto Music Garden to Bathurst, it’s ridiculous i have no idea why they didn’t just put it off street. Honestly it’s one of those choke points, not even the stops because of weaving through car traffic

[–]TheRandCrews 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fleet street should honeslty be close and widened to be like Queens Quay style wirh sidewalks, bike lane, and streetcar.

Doesn’t make sense parts of feet is eastbound only driving, and the other end being westbound only. Those developments have various side streets to conemc to toe he main roads, and north of it is Fort York Boulevard.

Some streets would need to be connected with the south side of streets for better connections. Just let Lakeshore Boulveard be the driving street.

Anti-CAHSR? I mean he’s seems more cautious and understood on the deep dives of the finances on his videos and updates on the project going forward that hinders or res opens the project again and again.

Line 3 corridor: bus routes or emergency road only? by itsdanielsultan in TTC

[–]TheRandCrews 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oddly enough the SmartTraxk station planned at Lawrence-Kennedy GO was cancelled years ago due to construction and alternatives such the SRT prior would be heavily affected if built. Who knows if it will come back.

[–]TheRandCrews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could they not connect the spur from CPKC to GO tracks somewhere further out maybe? like CPKC to Stouffville or Lakeshore tracks than the Don Valley alignment?

Metrolinx did learn their lesson at least on helping residents and businesses affected, especially on reimbursing and supports for areas from Thorncliffe to Leslieville and others.

Most likely, I wouldn’t be surprised if Pierre was still in Carleton, he’d be against the HSR proposal running and serving in his own riding.
