Well that definitely is new. There are some issues though:
- disrupting Lakeshore where there's flow.
- Turning at Eastern & Knox: Residential in North side
- 3 turns as opposed to 1: Problems arise at turns
If the Postal site wasn't there, we'd b…

So I just fired up Google Earth.
How does this route sound?
New Street Cars:

Might be worth people's going to the project website and signing up to get updates directly from the TTC as well (the site is mentioned in the letter from Fletcher and Bussin). In the FAQ, it is pointed out that Leslie Street was designated as a str…
A History of Subways
Very interesting reading of what could have been:

How about a tunnel to Queen St. a la harbourfront? They could call it the Leslieville Subway.
Dear Friends,
I am sending you a letter from Councillor Bussin and me outlining what steps we have taken to introduce track routes other than Leslie street for the new streetcars.
Working for you,

Dear Friends
We wanted t…
I'm sure some of you have received the email from our Councillor. It indicates that the TTC is considering other routes for the streetcars, other than Leslie St. So, polish up your presentations, get onto Google Earth (excellent application), let th…
Defining a neighbourhood is tricky. Badgerow is a tricky street. Several years ago, we looked at a great house on Tiverton, which didn't feel like Leslieville, but rather more like S. Riverdale. We also looked at houses around Hiawatha/Ashdale and G…
Seems to me that the people who live closer to Gerrard, ie., north of Dundas, live in either Little India or.... hmmmm.... Little Chinatown (?). At least, that's how friends who live on Hiawatha just south of Gerrard refer to their 'hood.
It just seems to me you're living in the wrong place. To expect nothing to happen to Leslie is a real stretch. Here's a prediction of the future: All of the Port Lands are going to be developed. You will see change. Now, you might not want to see an…
Well, 85 streetcars in less then 2 hours on Leslie Street and Queen Street is definitely not logical. The minimal option is being CHEAP. Instead we must invest in the future, plan for the future, grow and develop for the future. Anything less is CHE…
OK, then I have to ask. Why are the tracks going up Leslie not logical?
The concerns are going to be there for any application of this yard, anywhere. The goal is then to minimize the impact. Part of that impact is the cost of such, which is an imp…
Agreed, and again I'll remind people that not everyone commenting here thinks Ashbridges is an atrocity. If it's going in this vicinity, there are places that were suggested that would impact more residences. How do the Leslie Street residents who l…
Contrary to your point of view, many of us did suggest reasonable options worthy of consideration, instead of just running tracks up and down Leslie Street to Ashbridges Bay.
I agree, alternate access route(s) to and from the Ashbridges Bay TTC yar…
Why are you surprised? It is just one big cash grab. And nobody will get fired. The TTC is a fine example of lazy people doing very little, grabbing as much money as they can. The interesting part is that Torontonians don't get that. It's why privat…
Even if Paula Fletcher is not reading this I'm sure some of the "friends of Paula" will keep her informed IF she still has any friends left in Leslieville.
I am afraid that whether Paula Fletcher and Sandra Bussin read this site is no longer releva…

What is happening with this corner?

My senses are offended each time I pass this corner. I need to rush home and pop a couple of Prozac to keep me from leaping in the pit. Will it ever be finished?
