	TORONTO TRANSIT COMMISSION
		TTC staff are exploring approaches to protecting property in these corridors in the absence of the funding required for comprehensive updates of the original Environmental Assessment studies.
		TTC staff are participating in a joint Environmental Assessment Study of possible Bus Rapid Transit on Yonge Street between Finch Avenue and Steeles Avenue, and are initiating preliminary work on a possible Bus Rapid Transit facility between Downsview Station and York University/Steeles Avenue.
		TTC staff are also participating, at a technical level, in studies being undertaken by other agencies with respect to rapid transit planning in the GTA to help ensure that these plans are consistent with the TTC’s and the City's longer-term plans for rapid transit in the City of Toronto.

	Infiltration: Toronto Subways (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Downsview station was constructed in 1996, and it is the prettiest station in Toronto.
		In a startling contrast to Downsview, Wilson is the ugliest and worst-planned station on the line, decorated with brownish-yellow paint and artificial plants, which inspire deep feelings of pity.
		Let us not heap scorn upon the TTC for this cheapness, however, for it is this odd arrangement which brought us the wondrous moving sidewalks between the two sections.

	Planners pick a subway path to York - SkyscraperCity
		At the TTC meeting today, a report will ask the commission to authorize the corporation to fund environmental assessments for those two routes, which will probably be dedicated bus or streetcar lanes, said Bill Dawson, the TTC's superintendent of service planning.
		The TTC is in far better shape for expansion then it has been in a long time and there is possibly more transit supportive dollars to come in the next couple of years.
		If the TTC can get shovels in the ground for Spadina in 2007 and the positive transit investment atmosphere of senior levels of government continues I don't think Sheppard will be too far behind since it really is the #1 priority.

	Eye Weekly - A house divided - 04.07.05
		The premise of last week's cover story, an open letter to TTC Chair Howard Moscoe, was that the TTC had to change, regardless of whether it ever gets more funding from Ottawa or the province.
		The TTC is divided into two quite different segments: the nine commissioners selected from city council, and the staff, headed by the general manager, Rick Ducharme.
		So, while the TTC is interested in developing more, and they know the value of it, the incentive has not necessarily been there, because the money largely goes to the city.

		According to Stephanie Rice, a senior project coordinator with the TTC's engineering and construction department, people were most interested in the subway route, the station locations and funding for the extension.
		Rice was one of several TTC representatives ready to discuss the TTC's plans with students, staff and faculty who attended the afternoon open house.
		The TTC’s "best-solution" for an express bus service to York from Downsview travels along existing – and already fast-moving – curbside bus lanes to just north of Finch; west along a Hydro corridor to the southeast corner of York’s Keele campus, then up to the bus stops in the Common and out to Steeles Avenue.

	HowardForums: Your Mobile Phone Community & Resource - subway coverage
		The reason the phone may work in same spots of the TTC subway is because there are a few places in the Toronto area that have full in-building coverage which means that anywhere that you are in the building you have full digital signal.
		The TTC does not have any agreements with any of the cell companies which is why there is no subway coverage.
		The TTC is kind of stupid though about that, if they allowed coverage it could be a great revenue generating opportunity for them.

	Downsview Reach
		In the Downsview Reach, only about 1 km of Mud Creek is traceable today, as the TTC yards, the Allen Road and Highway 401 have obliterate the rest.
		Because the TTC yards and the Allen Road obliterated the original source streams shown on early maps and the area west of Wilson Heights Blvd. is not accessable, the best place to begin the walk is Wilson Heights Blvd. and Sunbeam Ave., just north of where the stream once crossed Wilson Heights.
		Until recently, evidence of a ditch that held the stream earlier in the 20th century was visable from Model Ave.

	Spacing Wire • understanding the urban landscape » Automatic Train Control: What’s the Catch?
		It’s possible that automatic train control could allow the TTC to reduce train crews from two individuals (driver and guard) to one (the driver, taking on the guard’s duties), but anybody picturing the TTC’s subway trains operating with nobody at the helm should adjust their picture.
		The daily bus count is such that, in 2001 when the TTC released the Rapid Transit Expansion Study, it didn’t recommend an extension to Steeles — it instead recommended an extension 1 km further north to Clark Blvd, with an intermediate stop at Steeles.
		One, the TTC finds ways to manipulate RT studies and EAs to suit their own purposes (keep the money in Toronto proper, to heck with 905) or those of the Government or Minister of the Day as a practical quid pro quo to secure desperately needed capital and operating subsidies (e.g.

		Viva's Yonge St. ridership is about equal to the TTC's 108 Downsview bus service, which carries 7,100 riders in the Jane St. and Sheppard Ave.
		The TTC's busiest bus route is the 29 Dufferin, which carries 43,500 a day.
		In terms of importance it is deserving of a higher level of comparison than the 108 Downsview, but here they are just comparing the number of people using it.

		At Wilson, today's de facto (and once regular, as Downsview was a later extension) end of the line, we remained on board as the operator changed ends.
		Besides TTC buses, Mississauga Transit buses also connect at this loop with the streetcars.
