    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Official news release with map

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    That and the Pearson-Richmond Hill Centre route actually could use an additional trip between the 12am and 2am trips. A lot of flights arrive around the midnight hours. Passengers coming from those flights very likely would just miss the 12am trip and have to wait nearly 2 hours for the next...

    Toronto Concord Park Place: Block 9 | 157.75m | 46s | Concord Adex | DIALOG

    That site is being filled in. Concord Park Place: Block 7 | 101.6m | 29s | Concord Adex | DIALOG However, there will be a mid-block street between the two sites. Technically, this site, Block 9, is east of Ethennonnhawahstihnen', west of Billes Heights, south of unnamed future street.

    Toronto 1125 Sheppard Avenue East | 126.12m | 40s | Concord Adex | DIALOG

    Looks like 1181 Sheppard East is east of 1125? Interesting plan visualizing potential future developments. (Block Context Plan, Page 17)

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    re. bolded part. The may just add 10min with the double transfers. The ridership between Langstaff and Leslie/Oriole will be so low they might as well truncate the line at Langstaff. How feasible would it be to run two branches of the Ontario Line past Lawrence - one towards Senaca College...

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    Hope they take into consideration both quantatative and qualitative properties when coming up with the proposals. Keep them simple - nouns/adjectives vs. phrases

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Except even with option 1, you may still get the pay-as-you-go health service down the road from a different government. Infrastructures such as rapid transit lines are difficult/costly to tweak once they are built. We already have plenty of examples of that.

    Toronto Ontario Line: Exhibition Station | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | HDR

    It means keeping moving. Common sense when they expect mass of people using the route during events.

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    You completed the entrie trip on a $3.70 base fare, and nearly maxed out the possible 5 hours (2 hr local + 3 hrs GO) transfer. You win. 😆

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    The retail podium hugs the streets. How is that towers in a park? This is towers in a park. https://maps.app.goo.gl/izGQYgaWT7cQqz5y9

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Should be road under rail. (page 7)

    Toronto Park Lawn GO Station | 12.83m | 2s | First Capital | Hatch

    Why would commuters get off at Fairview unless there is some catastrophic accident on the DVP? It adds (estimate) at least 10min just to sit in the queue to Sheppard. If they have driven down the 404 and their destination is downtown, it makes more sense to hop on a GO bus/train further north...

    Toronto Fairview Mall Redevelopment Phase 1 | 180.2m | 52s | Cadillac Fairview | Hariri Pontarini

    Sometimes I am confused by what is the optimal form of densification. While it is nice to have an animated street with street-front retail, we are also shown examples of moving pedestrain activity away from arterials as ideal. These examples are also from places in Europe where we seem to try to...

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    When you tap on GO, it gives you a new three hours transfer. By definition, any tap on local transit within those next three hours should be free. So for your example, one fare. (you will also have way more than two hours to complete the trip)
  15. 1

    GTHA Transit Fare Integration

    I wonder if this whole itinerary can be done with the base $3.70 GO fare: viva from Newmarket to Finch GO bus from Finch to Sheppard Line 1 from Sheppard to Kipling MiWay to South Commons Oakville Transit to Oakville GO
