"Knock on wood"? Oh, oh. Thought they didn't used wood on The Queensway, but metal and concrete?

Toronto is using out-dated transit signals. The MTO only allows the vertical bar, at the moment. There are diagonal bars for turns and horizontal bars for stop, but the TTC is forbidden to use them. As for transit priority, sorry, the almighty single-automobile turning left must get priority over the 100+ on board the streetcars. So says the automobile disciples at city hall, queen's park, and their bureaucrats. We could use lagging left turn - A sequence where the green left turn arrow is next after the oncoming thru green. Sorry, that would confuse motorists used to the leading left turn - A sequence where the oncoming thru green is next after the green left turn arrow. Can't use a "NEW" sign with them, because who actually reads signs. In addition, the single-blade track switches are cheaper than the double-blade track switches, because of budget constraints. There is no money for public transit operations, but there is for the roads used by the single-occupant automobiles.

There are more people and cyclists downtown, where the streetcars are. Would expect there would be more "targets"!

Haven't been at St. Clair West in months. Have they, or will they, put in passing streetcar tracks for BOTH directions (similar to the East Exhibition streetcar loop)?

Bombardier has yet to show Toronto's Flexity Outlooks on even their own website. http://www.bombardier.com/en/transportation/projects.html?f-region=all&show-by-page=50&page=1&f-country=all&f-segment=all&f-type=Light-rail-vehicle-LRV&f-name=all

There are cameras in the station that would have recorded the license plates and the faces before they removed themselves.

The excuse for using concrete on the right-of-way was so it could be used by EMS, fire, or police. How many of the emergency vehicles actually used it compared with non-emergency vehicles making use of it, and the number getting stuck?

Having all the streetcars stop (or crawling stop) before the track switches negates the far side stop. Again, its TTC budget cuts at its worst. No money for proper track switches.

Wonder if ever more than 2 PCC streetcars ever arrived at Hillcrest?

We need Green Arrow!!!

The green ball signal must have been suggested (more likely DEMANDED) be used by auto-addicted suburbanites.

That's 2007. Here's from the 2017 draft: The sad news is it has been ten years and still nothing physically constructive is happening

Being sent to the old streetcar retirement home.

Which is why it was just a "slap on the wrist", not a "whipping behind the tool-shed".

Consider Bombardier's wrists have been slapped. Don't do that again, else Bombardier will be sent back to Thunder Bay with no supper.
