Yeah Sudbury's been a nickel mining town forever. It's not like there was a sudden demand for the stuff and they decided to go open up the Shield for the first time.

People were taking about extending the Yonge-University line up to York University over 25 years ago. It opens this December, having been delayed two years from the original timeline.

I can tell the King St. experiment is going to be a good thing because it's already enraging Ford Nation. http://www.blogto.com/city/2017/11/criticism-car-free-king-street-toronto/

I'm sure glad Toronto city council made all these changes to King St. and then made it basically impossible to read any of the new signs when it gets dark.

I'd be interested to see if they've done testing of those in-road LEDs in places with cold weather & snowplows

I've never seen a horizontal stop light where the leftmost color wasn't red.

silence_kit posted:I never understood why the concept of ‘induced demand’ got used as an excuse by anti-car people to not expand or add new highways. Now I think I understand their thinking. Induced demand is real, Fishmech lives to bring up Rochester as the one example where it didn't work.

Javid posted:Letting the railroads build permanent untouchable infrastructure before we realized we'd need to build highways someday was a pretty great upper decker the 1800s left us to discover eventually. The railroads were there first. Road peeps can build an overpass.

One cool thing I've noticed being rolled out in Toronto is that the walk lights at some intersections go on before the green for traffic.

https://twitter.com/berkie1/status/1392149907922894851 Regardless of the study, I've always wondered why the support columns for flyovers like that are so loving tall. It's not like you have planes on these things.

Devor posted:It's because in some spots you have to stack 3 or 4 vertical clearances on top of each other to capture all the movements, plus high speed roads need to have very flat curves. So after you pass the 4-stack spot, if that top roadway was on its way up, it has to keep going up for a while as it flattens out and then back down.

Good video on Toronto's Riverdale* "streetcar suburb" from Not Just Bikes. Livable neighborhoods are illegal due to minimum lot and road requirements, so you end up with Vaughn. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWsGBRdK2N0 *Stay outta Riverdale!

Lobsterpillar posted:Judging from that diagram, they're creating more space by widening the shoulder, not taking up any currently existing road space. Now, you have 1) HOV to merge lane, 2) merge lane to HOV, 3) merge lane to normal, and 4) normal to merge lane. Plus, knowing how badly people drive normally around here, I can guarantee that people will use the merge lane as a passing lane in case traffic is slightly slower than they want it to be, and they'll go straight from the normal lane to the HOV lane in one go without looking. And since the HOV lanes aren't physically separated, they'll just drift in and out of them regardless of the marked exit and entry points. e.g. https://i.imgur.com/PJPHvyq.mp4

Not Wolverine posted:My city tore out an old railroad line and converted it into a bike path. It's wide enough for bidirectional bike travel, but it sucks because without fail, everytime I go there will be idiots walking in the center of the path with airpods in, making them completely oblivious to me and other bikers shouting "On your left!"

Not Wolverine posted:Maybe a bell might pierce the barrier better but I don't really want to mount a bell on my bike since that would add extra weight and drag this slowing my obese rear end down even more. It's a problem that I could try to solve, but I'm fine with just dealing with it.
