To the guy who wanted more docks at Corktown, there’s 50+ new docks!

The first pic is from the website system map, first number is available bikes, second is amount of available docks, so adding them together is total docks in the station.

u/mrguy510 the one at Mill St & Rolling Mills is completely new with 37 docks. Mill st & tannery has been moved to the south side and has been expanded to 39 docks!

TIL that the TTC says there is no way to do level boarding for our streetcars and that our roads are too tight for dual point switches

In today's TTC board meeting discussion around speeding up the 506 streetcar, TTC staff said there isn't a way to do streetcar level boarding even with raised platforms (they claim that self leveling systems are required, and that each streetcar has different wheel wear, suspension etc, and would still require the ramp to be deployed for wheelchairs)

But i'm assuming even then, if it's not an 100% level boarding (maybe 90%) it would make boarding much easier and faster for the average person, and even strollers, luggage, etc. Just that you wouldn't have a compeltely flat surface.

They also said our streets are too tight for double point switches (even though much more constrained european cities can do it?). They said they found a better alternative thandouble point switches on a cost perspective and a technical feasibility perspective
