I hope they widen the 401 from 3 lanes in each direction just past Salem Rd in Ajax to 4 lanes in each direction- from Salem Rd in Ajax to Harmony Rd in Oshawa. It seems like poor planning to go from 5 lanes to suddenly 3 lanes after Salem Rd.- I think keeping it at 4 lanes in each direction...

I read elsewhere that for the Hunter Station to have all day two-way service the tunnel just west of this station would have to be redone to widen it. I am relatively new to Ontario but I think Hamilton's downtown would be even more important if they had all day two-way train service with...

When I moved here to TO indirectly from Vancouver a few years ago I attended monthly TTC meetings (I wasn't working at the time because of a number of surgeries). At one meeting the head of the Piccadilly line in London was visiting and he spoke. He was visiting our system and was really...

Yes, I saw the underpass- they are starting to excavate the west bound lanes now west of the GO rail line. Great to see this project slowly come together.

I saw the pavement yesterday- looks like traffic should soon be diverted under the new GO overpass and they can start work on the westbound Sheppard lanes and hopefully the Sheppard East LRT platform as well. Thanks for the renderings of these plans as well nfitz- nice to see it slowly come...

They are coming along with the Grade Seperation at the GO Agincourt Station on Sheppard. The overpass is almost complete and soon road traffic is going to be diverted under the overpass. The Sheppart East LRT looks like it is being constructed under the overpass as well (concrete not poured yet...

I don't think it will get passed- not only for safety reasons but for enviromental- most vehicle- including heavy truck operate most efficiently (use the least fuel) at just below 100K. The new hybrids are different then most cars though they get the worse fuel consumtion at highway speeds...

Thanks for the update about the Agincourt GO Station grade seperation project. I check it out a few times a week usually as my wife works in the area. Incredible how they changed the whole landscape of Sheppard to grade seperate this GO line. Hope GO finds the funds to grade seperate more of...

The Agincourt Grade seperation is really coming along- they have the concret down on the east bound lanes under the GO overpass. I think they will either start on the SELRT concrete next or pave over the concrete next. Pretty soon the diverted traffic will be diverted again to go under the new...

I was on the 406 highway on the weekend and that highway is a divided highway from the QEW in St. Catharines to the north part of the city of Welland. Then the highway is a non divided highway through the rest of the city of Welland as well as to its southern terminus at East Main St. It looks...

I had some time off and checked out the Agincourt Grade seperation. The road isn't paved yet but they are putting the curbs in and then I guess they will pave the road. Their is an extra two curbs in the center as well and I think that is going to be for the Sheppard East LRT! I was hoping the...

Thanks for the info. That highway could use the investment for sure. Hope that the newish Barrie GO station takes a bit of a load of that highway as well.

I am fairly new to Ontario and for the first time I drove on the 400 highway to Barrie and back on the weekend. Alright highway except many of the overpasses are very old and not high enough. Hopefully these dangerously low overpasses are replaced with better ones soon. I could see on quite a...

I had time off this weekend, and my wife wanted the kids out of the house, so I took them for a drive and we went up to Barrie. I checked out the Barrie South GO station and it is in a pretty remote spot. Few homes- a far hike to station and no business around there. It has a parking lot but I...

Agree, poor planning on the 401 in that part- goes from 5 lanes to 3 lanes in a short span! I think it should go from the 5 lanes to 4 lanes all the way to Oshawa (maybe 4 lanes each direction through Oshawa-Ajax. Some to the overpasses would need to be replaced but I think this is a neccesary...
