No doubt the government will just blow off the Eglinton LRT petition, but it will still have more impact than complaining in an online forum. And more so if many people sign it.I think petitions are just introduced into the record. Not voted on.
The government then has 24 sessional days to respond.
That map is not just dated because of station names. The northeast corner of Don Mills and Eglinton will be under contruction for years, and there is no way buses are going to be able to turn into the station from Don Mills, because that is where the new station is to be built. There is a big outdoor park of bus platforms being built right now, south of the existing (but not yet open) station, where there are bus platforms that will probably not be used until the Ontario Line is done. As I understand it, buses will only be able to enter and exit the area via the small side street to the east. All bus routes will have to be diverted to that little street. So this map isn't taking into account the construction of the Ontario Line at all.
I agree. First, I'd really like to see internal memos and such about reasons for the 5+ year delay, and see if they're anything like what we've been told. (Oh wait, we haven't been told anything, I mean to say different to what we've been speculating.) I'd also like to see the report the government commissioned that led to the closing of the Science Centre, since so many people have said they don't think it really recommended that it be closed. And I'd love to see the contracts for Ontario Place, and see if they match what we've been told. And what decisions were really made about the greenbelt. The Ontario government is as opaque as can be, and possibly run on secret deals that we might know nothing about, as far as we know. So to the person who said that a call for accountability is all political and something only Liberal members would petition for, WELL OF COURSE, it has to be a Liberal (or any party other than Conservative) MPP challenging them, but that doesn't negate the need for transparency. (And no, I don't call myself a liberal, I've always tried to see all sides and be as centrist and unbiased as possible. Signing the petition isn't a liberal thing, it's a vigilant citizen thing, anyone can do it.)
Someone had better change whoever put up this bus stop at the southwest corner of Eglinton Avenue West & Weston Road, then. Image taken TODAY, on June 29, 2025.
They still have 332 on the new poles east of Mount Dennis.
According to a 2022 report ( https://cdn.ttc.ca/-/media/Project/TTC/DevProto/Documents/Home/About-the-TTC/5_year_plan_10_year_outlook/2023/2022-ASP/TTC-2022-ASP-Line-5-Bus-Surface-Network-Plan-Route-Descriptions_Final_Oct-4-2021_Accessible.pdf?rev=d5eaf53a50464929beacbb025380ed12&hash=CAC0C18F970676A75B9935599906AD92 )
Thanks why we need to wait for the final, final, final route report. They may have changed the bus numbers... again.
The signage department doesn’t communicate with the service planning department. The 334 is not running between the airport to Mount Dennis and east is Yonge while all the poles between Mount Dennis to Yonge are signed 332. It just makes no sense.
The 989 will be using Black Creek Dr to left on Eglinton, Left at Keelesdale using the new bus-only left turn signal along with the 161 and 168. The 935 service to Mount Dennis could be a branch eg. 935B Mount Dennis Station to Pioneer Village Station with the 935A branch not serving Mount Dennis Station.
The 935 with a 10-12 min headway would not benefit with two branches like that. Each branch would run 20-24 min making it pointless to wait for the other way.
hmm.... Oh! it's probably just a long-term temporary thing until Jane-Eglinton opens on the Line 5 extension which at that point it would be serving Jane-Eglinton station instead.
So much with opening in September I guess.
Well we.can see trains running now, just without passengers... I mean, at the end of the day, it's the TTC.Anybody with insider info on when we could expect to see trial running? Has there been any progress since Testing and Commissiong phase?
I feel like we had a lot of enthusiasm for the opening a few weeks ago but that has now vanished.
