Very happy to be speaking with CBC Metro Morning's Chris Glover tomorrow at 7:20 AM about my PATH redesign. Should be fun!
Shane Gates 🇨🇦Finally finished my redesign of the PATH map. I redid the current spaghetti-like map into one closer resembling a subway map with numbered buildings à la the Tokyo Metro Map. I've often seen tourists (or even longtime residents) try to use the PATH and just end up going back upstairs.

(1) Can it scale up if ridership reaches critical levels, (2) does it use readily available/common parts, (3) is it accessible, and (4) can it accommodate TOD and adjacent densification? I'm not sure the answer is yes to any of these. Seems like Oshawa just wants more room for cars.
