Dear Toronto,Your streetcars have always caused me a lot of grief.First, their schedules are so. You don't see any for a half hour, then there's like 3 in a row.Second, they're slow. Like, really slow. The east-west routes on busy streets are often muchat times.Third, they're. You often have to cross a lane of traffic to board and disembark, so you risk death quite a lot.These problem have existed for decades, and nobody seems to care.Meanwhile, the main east-west routes (ie. King, Queen, Dundas, etc.) could be fixed tomorrow in 3 easy steps.Toronto is not (supposed to be) a pissant little rural town where you just drive in and dump your car on Main Street to visit the General Store.The never-ending stopping and parallel parking causes so many problems, it's ridiculous.This is supposed to be the downtown core of a "world class" city.Park those cars on side streets and in parking garages, out of harm's way.Now that you have a second lane you can actually drive in, restrict the transit lane (the one with the train tracks that's annoying to drive in anyways) to, andPaint it blue, and put little train pictures on it.Make a hefty fine for abusers (to supplement the revenue loss from the street parking).This is whatdo to keep people moving, instead of idling, yelling, and swearing at each other.Consider a bike lane or two while you're at it. Right now your bikes are all over the place, conflicting with both street traffic and pedestrians.Your only current protection fromwhen exiting a streetcar is alittle stop sign on the door --the door opens!I don't know how many people are injured or killed this way each year, but I can say that many peopleget schmucked approximately every 3 minutes.And it usually leads to lots of, yelling, and swearing.All of which areLong term, you need to either:1. Move the streetcar lanes to the(best solution) or at least2. Make way more of those safe "islands" for people to wait at and exit to.In the short term, at least put some bloodyon the back (like a school bus) so drivers behind realize when to stop.That small change could save both rider's lives, and help stupified out-of-town drivers that have no clue when they need to stop.So there you have it. Toronto could improve its streetcar situation by about 300% by:
