FYI the Mississauga transitway was designed to be converted into LRT in the future if possible, no modifications to bridge heights, etc would need to happen. They calculated everything to make sure an LRT would fit
-
PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE make this a running series and do it for other cities in Canada, and the world! Vancouver, Montreal and Ottawa would be great starts!
-
What do you think of my dream projects? What’s on your Toronto transit wish list? Let us know down in the comments! Edit: Folks want this for other cities, ask and ye shall receive!
-
Crayoning, verb (Crayonista, noun) - Performing strategic transport planning with a box of coloured crayons, using them to draw lines on a map without thinking of the implications. Created by the excellent London Reconnections blog! Reece what you’re doing isn’t crayoning because it has some .. reality in it! You’re not proposing an extension of the subway to Pickering 😂
-
One thing thats important to note about extending the Yonge Line to RHC is that it provides the Yonge Line with a direct connection to the High Frequency bus corridor along Highway 407. Even if it doesn't make sense for YR, this is a project I think GO themselves have been pushing for this strongly especially since the Highway 407 transitway is in the works.
-
Your plan sounds much more reasonable than the governments current plan. I especially liked your proposal of the Sheppard line as well.
-
One thing I would add is a northern extension of the Ontario line to Finch. This would act as further relief to the overcrowded Yonge line and would connect Seneca college to the network. This would also be a primarily elevated extension.
-
I cringe when I think that Sheppard West and Sheppard Yonge are still not connected by Line 4.
-
The thumbnail reminded me of when I was a kid in the 80s. After a family trip to NY I brought back a subway map and thought the TTC Ride Guide needed to look more like New York’s and went to town with my crayons.
-
Really creative but thoughtful ideas! Obsessed with the Malvern—>STC—>North York—>York U route! Very connective.
-
Definitely agree with you here Reese, I feel like so much money is being poured into North of the city when the West (peel) is far more hungry for rapid transit to the core. What are we in Mississauga and Brampton getting in the next 5 years? A North-South LRT and increased GO service? Phoey
-
Great video - generally agree with your suggestions. Definitely appreciate the love for the Sheppard Line, it is much needed
-
would love to see you do the same thing but without the budget constraints! just everything you would love to see
-
This video was very enjoyable because you didn't have a script and there wasn't a cut every sentence. The analysis was well thought out. More videos like this
-
I think that the Yonge subway extension makes sense because it removes the awkward station wait period for viva blue. It will be a substantially smoother transfer. I get Steeles though.
-
I live near Birchmount and Sheppard and I'd love to see an extension on line 4 Eastbound. Having to be crammed into an 85 bus is just ridiculous. Plus if it connects to Line 2 that'd even be better.
-
TTC should hire you!
-
Great video, love your stuff! One thing I would change is to extend line 2 (or maybe line 5) to University of Toronto Scarborough. Its one of the fastest growing schools in Toronto and has absolutely horrible connectivity. I have to take a bus and switch at Guildwood Go, Kenendy, or Scarborough Town to get downtown, and that trip is decently long. It feels like if you don't have a car, UTSC is the most inaccessible out of all the post-secondary institutions.
-
Very nicely done and more practical than many fantasy maps I have seen.
-
Someone else mentioned a no-budget version of this video, but I'm also interested. What would you do if you had a clean slate in Toronto. We still had all the streets in roughly the same alighmments, same neighborhoods, same everything, just no TTC or GO. How different would the subway map look?
