Not just any purple… aubergine!

The shoulders on the 401 are more limited in width and without space to widen. Many of the 401 routes from Milton/Meadowvale and Brampton divert to the 407 as far as the 400 during especially congested times instead.

It’s one of the more elegant structures that the Grand Trunk built – with chateau-style features more associated with CP – and it’s federally protected. It can and should be moved 20-30 metres north when the time comes. Anyone suggesting demolition is a fool or a tool.

I’m not too worried as these two towers aren’t front and centre and will have no retail component. I’m hoping for better closer to the Steeles/Main intersection of course.

Some news regarding Phase 1A, on the old Brampton Transit terminal off Steeles Avenue, as there's a amendment coming to the Committee of Adjustment. The south tower will be 42 storeys (132m) and the north will be 37 storeys (117m). Both towers will be rental (previously, one was going to be...

Bramalea is where the buses to/from Waterloo meet the trains. Mount Pleasant only has the milk run bus to Georgetown and Guelph

Yeah. GO had a few infamous leadfoot bus operators!

I really wonder why this went to the racist, Conservative-embedded Brian Lilley though, and not a bonifide transportation or urban affairs journalist like Oliver Moore at the Globe or Ben Spurr at the Star.

For decades, it was Brampton that was left out of GO Transit service and infrastructure. I still remember when there was only a Union Station bus every three hours. Hamilton had it pretty good with the QEW bus in comparison.

Are there updated renderings? I would like to see the approved design elements. The last time Downtown Brampton got a major streetscape makeover was in the late 1980s, so this is long overdue. However, I wonder if it will just get dug up again once the LRT extension is funded.

They’re known as FYA phases – a Michigan Left is of course something much different.

The concept reminds me of Valdi Discount Grocery that was around in the 1990s. No fridges or freezers, everything was boxed, bagged, or canned. The only difference I see here is there will be limited produce - but of course it won’t be things like leafy greens that are typically cooled and...

It’s official: CN and CPKC have locked out their workers. No service on the Milton Line tomorrow.

Yeah, GO adding yet another letter variant is not a new route.

Justin Di Dunpar strikes again! He’s the named party on the OLT appeal.
