Today FastTrackTO is officially launching and releasing our 10 point plan to modernize the Toronto Streetcar network. An iconic symbol of the city that could be fantastic with some achievable, common sense and low cost changes. The plan if implemented would transform the city.

FastTrackTO is a single issue advocacy group (made upof @englishrail.bsky.social, @rmtransit.bsky.social, Narayan Donaldson and @optimistmatt.bsky.social) pushing to address slow transit in Toronto, particularly the downtown streetcars.

The city of Toronto does not control road pricing, or bike lanes (sadly), or subway expansion, but it could have game changing impacts on transport by transforming the streetcar network. FastTrackTO has given many of the answers, but a transformation ought to be bigger.

FastTrackTO has learned that the posted speed limits for buses on the brand new Scarborough Busway will be 30 km/h near stations and signals. 🐌

This is disappointing, and reduces travel time savings that the busway is meant to provide.

Especially re: any express buses.

Line 5's top speed is now 80 km/h in tunnels!

Removing unnecessary speed restrictions is 3️⃣ on our ten-point plan, and a great first step to put #Eglinton on the fast track!

Now it’s time for the surface section of Line 5, Line 6 and the #streetcars to follow suit.

Not mentioned, but the fact that we may be building QQE to the same slow standards *should* be an issue in this fall's election. urbantoronto.ca/news/2026/06... #TOpoli

Woohoo!

Also got a response today to my email. The FastTrackTO plan was presented to the councillor. The response took time, almost two weeks, and I needed to follow-up but at least it was ack-ed.

TO folks it is time to spread the plan. Liking on BlueSky is great but it is not enough.

Fast Track TO did a hard work of compiling the plan. As a bare minimum, we residents, can send an email to our Councillor - www.toronto.ca/city-governm...

If you want something, you should ask for it.

Many of these best practices are recommended by @rmtransit.bsky.social and @englishrail.bsky.social in their @fast-track.to plan

Checkout it out here: fast-track.to
Blanc said he has conferred with transit experts, such as creator Reece Martin, who hosts RMTransit, a YouTube channel focused on public transport systems around the world, and Jonathan English, the co-founder of advocacy group FastTrackTO, which in March published a 10-point plan to speed up Toronto's streetcar network. Some of English's ideas, including eliminating slow zones and limited left turns for vehicles along the streetcar route, are included in Blanc's plan for the 506.

Fantastic to see the City's Congestion Management Plan call for Enhanced TSP on more corridors!

That's point #1 of the FastTrackTO 10-Point Plan in motion! ✅

It's an exciting start...but we're not done. Let's keep up the momentum #TTCriders!

#TTC #TransitSky #Urbanism #Toronto #TOpoli
Combined with TTC operational improvements, cumulative time savings to date are 10 minutes (Line 5) and 20 minutes (Line 6) per round trip. Work is ongoing to expand the TSP measures to include rotational signal phasing and full signal retiming to create progressions that support a continuous green wave. This is anticipated for completion by September 2026. Building on the momentum from the recent efforts to improve transit travel times on the Line 5 and Line 6 corridors, the combined Transportation Services and TTC team will advance a significant expansion of Enhanced Transit Signal Priority throughout 2026 through a combination of new installations and upgrades to existing locations. The program will focus on high ridership bus and streetcar routes, with emphasis on routes that are expected to play a critical role during FIFA World Cup 2026, including both conventional and Enhanced TSP upgrades and additions to the 509 Harbourfront, 504 King, 63/63B Ossington south of Bloor Street, 7 Bathurst Street, 512 St. Clair Avenue, 505 Dundas, and the continued buildout of the 510 Spadina Avenue corridor. Collectively, these planned installations and upgrades represent nearly 50 percent more than the number of signalized intersections equipped or upgraded with TSP in any previous year, reflecting the City's commitment to accelerating delivery through additional temporary consulting resources and strengthened interagency coordination. The following table provides a summary of the TSP implementations planned for 2026 (72 New Locations, for a total of 508). Bus route names that are receiving upgrades or have existing Transit Signal Priority, including: Dufferin Jane Express Wilson Scarborough Kipling South Parliament Don Mills Sherbourne Victoria Park Coxwell Main Keele Finch

The topics discussed by FastTrackTO, which are what you are criticizing, are NOT exclusively about streetcars, they're also about light rail lines.

This is yet another example of you shitting on any system improvements other than your personal "priority" list for the downtown streetcars.

FastTrackTO is just the same group of people pushing the usual tropes and “solutions” to fix the streetcar network. Of course they’ll never look at the bus network.

I’ll pass.
