    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    BOT has been handling the roadway related work (curb/median removal & roadway widening) with Pave-Al Ltd handling the asphalt laying portion of the works. I imagine BOT will be handling bridge structure work as they're big into that. Amico has been handling all of the watermain and sewer...

    Toronto Kipling Station Transit Hub | ?m | 2s | Metrolinx | SAI

    I can attest that the majority of the AM peak inbound riders get off at Aukland and make the walk down to Kipling via the narrow sidewalk on the W/side of Aukland S/of Dundas. While perhaps BjamesT's use of the word 'permenant' to describe this phenomenon is confusing, not once did he dispute...

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    That really depends on how you look at it. Request for qualifications (RFQ, not to be confused with Request For Quotations) were issued in April 2017 and qualified proponents were selected in September of that same year. There was a 5 month delay getting the Request for proposals out, but the...

    Roads: Six Points Interchange Reconfiguration (City of Toronto, UC)

    They won't be reconstructing Kipling right away, they'll place a thick layer of soil down to protect the roadway surface from the tracks of the excavators and falling debris from the bridge demolition so the roadway can reopen as scheduled. Keep in mind that they only brought down the bridge...

    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Consider what you're saying here, you claim you have information that isn't public and doesn't go on the website, but also that you haven't checked the website in some time. Let's keep in mind that what you posted is information about construction work, an activity that is generally disruptive...

    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    A certain member here seems to think they're privy to this sort of stuff or doing us all a favour and the irony is that that wasn't even a complete list of all the work that started yesterday. The original content can be found here under construction updates...

    miWay Transit

    No it isn't, the closest EB stop to Torbram is the preceding one at Vanguard. It's a 450 meter walk to Torbram from there compared to 700 meters from Cattrick. To make matters worse there's no sidewalk from either stop to Torbram. However, from the Vanguard stop there is a catwalk to Fir Tree...

    Toronto Spadina Subway Extension Emergency Exits | ?m | 1s | TTC | IBI Group

    It didn't cost that much, the 407 and Downsview Park Station contracts were packaged with the tunneling work for the line. It should also be noted that the York University Station had an advanced contract for the station box and those figures don't seem to be included in the tally.

    Mississauga Mississauga Transitway | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | IBI Group

    To be fair the city had been trying for ages to secure funding for the Transitway. Unfortunately, only after two decades of axe swinging later was the city able to secure funding for the Transitway, albeit a brutally severed Transitway. Now that's not to say the Transitway is a completely...

    Roads: Six Points Interchange Reconfiguration (City of Toronto, UC)

    It appears to be shoring works to protect the subway line, also the work is outside of the TTC's ROW.

    Toronto Lower Simcoe Ramp | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto

    Pardon me if I misunderstood you, but you are suggesting the effectiveness of an off-ramp is entirely dependant on the amount of storage capacity it has? Here I was thinking that we should be focused on the amount of vehicles that can actually get off of the ramp in a given traffic cycle, oy vey.

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    I'm not sure if there have been any proposals, but the MTO has very recently completed thorough rehabilitations of the interchange's bridges. Given that I would say even if there are any proposals they are likely a minimum of a couple decades out of comming to fruition.

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    It was Priestly Demolition, they're behind most bridge demolitions on MTO projects. Northern Machinery Service used to be the big name in bridge demolition until they were bought up by Priestly a few years ago. There's a few machines in the Priestly fleet with the Northern name on them still.

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    I'm not quite sure what logical path one could take to draw the conclusion that the Tories would even consider dropping this project given that A: it is a highway with significant economic impact on southwest Ontario and B: along a potential voter rich corridor. On the otherhand, cancelling...

    Toronto Lower Simcoe Ramp | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto

    Like someone else said, it all gets seperated and recycled in one form or another. In Mississauga there's a huge infill project going on called the Lakeview Waterfront Connection and the Region of Peel is currently accepting materials suitable for the project and simply charging a tipping fee...

    Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer Bypass

    I understand the frustration with the political support (or lack thereof) for the DRL, but do we really think current elected officials are aware of any of the depths of either project and any conflicts that may or may not exist? Sure, it might be cheaper to coordinate their building at the...

    Roads: Six Points Interchange Reconfiguration (City of Toronto, UC)

    This 'January' newsletter must have been written before the Phase 2 contract was awarded in November. The contract for Phase 2 was awarded to Fermar Paving Ltd at the beginning of November and surely a construction schedule has already been submitted to the City. Despite this the newsletter...

    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Depends on how fast they want to move on short listing the proponents, the RFP is issued only to those who make the short list. For the Finch West LRT the short list and RFP was issued almost 6 months after the RFQ was issued. Hurontario's RFQ was issued in mid-October, so hopefully come March...

    407 Transitway

    Bus bypass lanes (BBL) wouldn't be all that effective if the rules regarding their us are followed that is. Buses using a BBL in Ontario can travel no more than 20 KM/h faster than the rate of adjacent traffic and no faster than 60 KM/h. If traffic is moving at 30 KM/h a bus could travel at 50...
