mister anchovy said...: Well, they should finish up with the street car business this year, but then they are apparently going to tear up the street again to redo the water mains. It seems that coordinating the two activities was just too complex. I wonder, after all is said and done, just how much quicker a street car trip from Yonge to Gunns will be? Hard to say. The challenge on that route is the left-turn, and the dedicated right-of-way will improve in that area. If they can stop the bunching of cars, they can reduce the number of short-turning cars. Still, the cost and the cost to our neighbourhoods seems very very high. Perhaps going to buses would have been a better solution. But then again, St. Clair street car service was pretty good, really. Maybe they should have considered how to improve Eglinton?; 11:42 p.m.
