Maybe but I didn't think we acknowledged Scarborough on a urban thread.

Some parts even have sidewalks?

My street didn't have sidewalks when we lived in Scarborough. There was running water and indoor plumbing. The plus about living in the country was that we never needed an alarm clock because our neighbours rooster woke us up every morning for twenty years.

Kennedy Road, looking north from the farm of Alex Doherty : one mile south of Ellesmere, Scarborough Twp.
[between 1925 and 1940]
From link.
So basically nothing has changed?

[nerd voice]Your tweet dated September 8, 2019 referred to Eglinton Avenue as the northern side of Toronto, despite parts of the street clearly being closer to the lake than the geographic northern part of the city. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic light rail line or something? Boy I hope someone got fired over that blunder.

Seriously guys, the street is north of downtown and runs through a part of the city commonly called North Toronto. Calling it the northern side is hardly a stretch. I know we all nerd out here but come on.

Transit oriented development might make sense on top of this bus terminal in the future. Hopefully that was factored into the design

That's highly unlikely.

ML pretty much doesn't want any developers screwing up their projects and causing a delay to the line. How ironic
On a side note, that bus terminal is going to be freezing in the winter. Just like Lawrence West. Little width between the two glass walls on each side and many doors. It'll be hard to heat up.

I don't think there are any plans to heat or air-condition the stations much like none of the curet subway stations have heat or AC in public areas.

It would be nice if they install some infrared heater like they do at UPX stations to keep people warm while waiting for an infrequent bus at midnight.

I drove from Kennedy to Laird today. Must say, I was pleasantly surprised by the density. I'd forgotten how much there was already and it should densify even further in the coming years. There's an opportunity to give Eglinton a good, urban, avenue feel. Hope it materializes with the Eglinton Connects streetscape plan. Any update on that?
