There's a new streetcar line under construction in Toronto, the first in more than a decade and a surprising development during the tenure of a mayor who is outspokenly opposed to light rail.
Unlike Toronto's other streetcar routes, which traditionally run in mixed traffic and board passengers from platforms in the middle of the road, the Cherry St. plan calls for putting all the transit on the east side of the street, running in two directions, with a tree-lined platform separating it from other traffic.
The transitway envisioned for this section is 700 metres.
A planned extension of the King streetcar service down Cherry will wait until after the Pan Am Games and the conversion of the Athletes Village to condos.
The [Train Movement Directors (TMDs)] work out of the three original towers, John St, Cherry St and Scott St controlling and directing over 4 miles of station platforms and 25.5 miles of circuited track and the trains that operate on them.
