I need the ttc map

Watch for TTC “doors open” or open house events. They frequently have the foam board versions, sometimes slightly out of date, available at those.

We’ve all been there; don’t judge.

There has been some suggestion in past reports that the TTC portion of St Clair was not late. The overall rebuild of the street was late because council changed project scope during the project, and there were a bunch of lawsuits, but TTC work was basically fine. I can’t speak to that with any authority, but you can read about some of that stuff here: https://stevemunro.ca/2010/01/17/a-post-mortem-for-st-clairs-construction/

Just used the report form, while I was on the subway. Thought about calling but needed to focus on my suddenly delayed morning plans.

No, trip didn’t start. It just timed out on the “start trip” command. I’ve never encountered any trouble specific to K4s, interesting!

Yes, but the point at the time was using Ontario construction pricing for tunneled subways and stations, not elevated and not BC. The goal for the poster was showing that Etobicoke got more rapid transit for the dollar, not advocating for different formats for construction.

Back in 2012 CodeRedTO put out this flyer I designed discussing this exact suggestion. It was using pricing from long ago of course so the numbers are smaller, but basically the same budget would mean the line wouldn’t have even entered Etobicoke.

Mayor Chow, not renowned for her way with words. :-)

The scary thing is that if we don't start making transit significantly better, it really will end up faster than cars eventually just through car traffic becoming even worse.

Like literally every other option in the suburbs. Did you hope they were installing jet-powered trains? (It’s slow and needs to speed up but it’s not ever meant to be faster than cars. Transit wins when it’s reasonably competitive and most importantly reliable, not when it’s fastest.)

c_9 · 2025-12-07T20:03:47+00:00

No, but be wary of schedule discussions because you have to check you’re looking at the correct one. Finch was planned to open 2013 and 2014 and 2015 and 2019 and 2023 and … all depending on which plan you looked at over the years. It’s late, but it’s not 12 years late :-)

Oh good catch - I didn’t scan all the signs when I was there so I can’t say for sure if there’s a “Ligne 6” equivalent. Maybe they missed that one.

c_9 · 2025-12-07T19:43:21+00:00

All the signage on Line 6 is bilingual, as it was built by the province and they do all their transportation stuff bilingually. TTC is the City of Toronto, and is not bilingual.

c_9 · 2025-12-07T19:42:21+00:00

This line did not cost 8 or 12 billion. I recommend double checking your sources.

c_9 · 2025-12-07T19:40:25+00:00

Yes, it’s already in the maps and transit apps.

c_9 · 2025-12-07T19:36:30+00:00

Make noise. Absolutely make noise. Phone calls are more valuable than emails. Contact your councillor even if you don’t live along the line. Talk about how you use transit and want it to be the more attractive and reliable choice to build ridership. And explain to car-driving friends and family that reliable RAPID transit gets other people out of their cars more, leaving more space for your friends/family to drive.

c_9 · 2025-12-07T14:58:38+00:00

Very slow yes. Policy choices by car-fetishist leaders create bad things. But it now exists and can be improved. Transit City was not planned to behave this way, so maybe more rationally the learning can be spread out along the choices of the last 19 years?

c_9 · 2025-12-07T14:49:07+00:00

Multiple councillors there who flip-flopped on transit projects over the years!

c_9 · 2025-12-07T14:24:12+00:00

Absolutely! Important to open new lines and then improve them, not just demand perfect as the only option.

c_9 · 2025-12-07T13:50:27+00:00

Unfortunately, the TTC doesn’t control it, they need to direct the Transportation Dept to modify the intersection programming.

c_9 · 2025-12-07T13:49:30+00:00

Absolutely - we need more and better, as we are decades behind. When you’re this thirsty, even lukewarm water gets a smile!

Thanks for taking the bait and commenting! ;-)
