We seem to be constantly going around in circles, so I'm not sure how much I can engage on this topic as what's the point of dealing with stubborness. Structures, especially institutional structures built during that period in the 1970s are seen to most people as hideous, what we know as...

But taking the longer way isn't necessarily the parents want to do either. Especially my father, he was always adamant on getting places quickly. Heck, I was more of the explorer that you describe, I didn't even drive across Eastport Drive across Burlington Bay until I could drive myself. I was...

The thing that gets me is why do you think my time growing up was that much different from your time growing up.......it seems you mentioned my liking of Nintendo Power Pod as being problematic, but I mentioned this because I have always had a liking for video games (not so much now) but you get...

It seems for whatever reason, after catching up on this discussion nearly a year later, that Adma seems to have a certain distaste for the theme park industry and entertainment destinations in particular. To make it clear, like it or not, no one was playing in the Forum when Wonderland built...

Not sure if you know, but on a related note, in the case of the systems interchanges where provincial freeway meets municipal freeeway as in DVP/404/401, FGG/QEW/427, and 401/Allen Who actually is responsible for the ramps in the interchanges? I’m particularly interested in the 401/Allen...

I am a roadgeek by nature, I know that is often in contention with many ideals of people on the site, but basically, I'm quite aware of the history of Ontario's freeways. To begin, I will exclusively use the word "freeway" to describe a road that has at least two lanes in each direction, is...

I’ve lived in Brampton all my life, so I can speak when road systems changed. I don’t care what your credentials are, reaper, but you’ve shown your true colours now. Induced demand I will simply say is hogwash. Everyone seems to forget that cities GROW, which happened quick in Brampton due to...

That interpretation of the yellow conforms to how the law works as I said in New York, you can legally proceed through the yellow at any point. Proceeding beyond the stop line before the light turns red would be illegal under the law. 15) Every driver approaching a traffic control signal...

Nowhere did I say that I am ignoring the RYG traffic signal when I saw the white light of the walk signal, what I said is that I don't have to fear being caught in a dilemma zone if that is seen. Universal Truth #2 is busted, but currently nowhere to my knowledge in Ontario sets up hand flashes...

I think I was somewhat misunderstood in the point I was trying to make in my post. Sorry for taking so long to reply. The purpose of my original post was in response to one specific portion of your earlier post. Just so we don't get confused which I think we did last time, let's say that the...

While it seems you, Alex, want to keep the CNE going, I’m just wondering, if this becomes a site with housing, how can the CNE still run? As the residents in these buildings will be very unhappy with that event occurring. Case in point, look how much the condo owners in Vaughan complain about...

Why are we in this housing crisis? When you add more people in the metaphorical game of musical chairs but not any more chairs what do you expect to happen? There will be a lot more losers, and who is in control of adding people to the game. The answer is simple and most likely it would get you...

It would be nice if you could actually respond to what I was saying rather than the condescending hostile reply you just gave. I was responding to what the actual traffic engineer (which I presume he is with the terminology he uses) said in regards to this. You said absolutely nothing to help...

What you are proposing as I understand is for pedestrians in a semi-actuated signal is for the green/don’t walk “rest” on the main road to instantly change to amber on the push of the pedestrian call button? I always thought that “rest”, which you often see in suburbia, was for a dedicated time...

Sure, go ahead, eliminate what little “culture” we have in the city and replace it with more soulless buildings. Ironically, these newer developments, such as Liberty Village or CityPlace have the same kind of problem as suburbia. You may have seen my post on Reddit (with the same username) a...
