Greetings,
I understand that due to the size of the new streetcars some stops will be adjusted.
I would advocate for a stop at Woodbine and Queen East bound on the same NE corner as the 92 Woodbine Bus.
Currently to switch from the streetcar to the bus, one has to walk back 2 blocks and cross at a busy set of traffic lights, then walk about .5 blocks north.
And the odd time the streetcar is not on schedule one could wait at the same corner and hop aboard a street car or the bus, which ever comes first.
It is very frustrating … and chilly.. to be standing at the bus stop and see the streetcar go by but be 2.5 blocks away. Ditto for opting for the streetcar only to see the bus go by but not be able to get on it.
The current streetcar stop is a left over from the days when the Woodbine bus used to loop a Queen rather than the new beach loop.
Best Regards
Hi Ms. Mackenzie,
The new streetcars will be longer and one or two stops in the Beach might be altered as a result. I will pass on your comment about the Woodbine and Queen intersection to TTC staff for our area. The easier it is for people to use transit the more people will follow your lead!
Thank you
