The Waterfront LRT would have been perfectly timed, given all the development going on in that area.
As someone who had to deal with the St Clair streetcars in the 80s and 90s for ballet all the way at OSB, I don't need a chart. Back then it was so cold/wait so long that I'd get Mcds at christie while waiting for it to come. The way St Clair come and goes now is ridiculously often and fast, almost like Spadina.
the only developing occurring in this area is...
well....
humber college is consuming the area!

Bus > LRT. Way to go, Mammoliti.

Perruzza was basically interrupting his accusations of not listening to his constituents. Mammoliti said he had one more question when Councillor Chin started to speak and I guess the speaker just went with it leaving Mammoliti standing there looking lost and confused.
Wong-Tam does bring up a point too. It's pathetic how few of TTC stations have elevators, and must be nightmares for people with disabilities to move around. They've been adding these.. slowly.. oh so very slowly. I thought they were adding one to Runnymede when they closed it, but they just redid the bus depot.
Funny story... my wife was taking our new baby down to College and University recently in a stroller. Starting from Eglinton station, she took the subway around the loop and got off at Queen's Park. Unfortunately the elevator at Queen's Park was broken. She was advised that her alternate way of getting to street level was to take the subway to Eglinton station (where she started!) and take the Avenue Road bus downtown. Cool, huh? She just came back home instead.
I've seen so many people lug strollers up stairs and escalators. It's sad.

My councillor is a fucking idiot. This part of Eglinton he's showing was always meant to be underground.
edit: Wait, that was St. Clair? Really looked like Eglinton and Weston.

She's is so dumb. I usually say that in jest for most people, but I think she's legit dumb. No one voted for the original Transit City plan? Really?

My friend used to live in that part of Eglinton I think, looks like Etobicoke Eglinton
'WE HAVE NOTHING LEFT, NOTHING.'
I wonder if she thought of the people living downtown when she voted to rip out the Jarvis bicycle lanes.
Di Giorgio is now basically saying Miller held a gun to their heads, and forced them to vote for Transit City. Hilarious.
I can't believe all of this is over two freaking lines, Finch West and Eglinton. No Lakeshore LRT, no Jane LRT
Feels bad man.
Yeah, it really does stink. The more they delay the more expensive each line cost and we start shortening, or losing lines altogether. Maybe in 20 years we'll see something done about these routes.
Laying down some truth.
i won't lie... i was starting to tear up

Have any of this people visited St. Clair lately? It's pretty awesome, business wise (especially my stretch of the neighbourhood).
subways everywhere!
