Starting in 2013, Toronto transit riders will be gliding along on new, low-floor streetcars. And the Toronto Transit Commission is now asking for “Toronto residents and transit enthusiasts to learn about and get involved in designing its new fleet.”<\/p>\n

The TTC today announced the launch of its LRV consultation program. A design panel, consisting of leaders in industrial and interior design, arts, public transit and city building, will also be involved in the process.<\/p>\n

According to the TTC, in 2007, over 10,000 people were asked for, and offered advice about, what they wanted to see in a new streetcar. On the TTC’s new micro-site for the LRVs \u2014 lrv.ttc.ca<\/a> \u2014 you can watch a short video<\/a>, share your design ideas and help to suggest a name for your new ride.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
