Other than the relatively small demand forecasts west of Jane.

That's why they envisioned the short-turns happening at Weston and the frequency doubled east of there - Jane was going to originally be at street level, and it was expected that it would have been awkward to have the same level of service continue at the surface even for one stop.

What is the timing on the mined tunnel connecting the guideway to Mt. Dennis? I'm probably not looking hard enough, but as that contract has been awarded, how have we not seen a schedule for that work?

It's easy to forget that this goes into Mississauga considering how little of Mississauga it actually serves lol

Insauga regularly releases articles that have titles like "Major Mississauga LRT line reached new tunneling milestone". It always makes me chuckle coz the line literally just goes a few hundred metres into Mississauga!

Literally just the blue box is in Mississauga, but Insauga makes it seem like the entirety of the line is in Mississauga!

I mean sure but, the line literally connects to the Mississauga Transitway? Like sure, the line might not directly serve a significant part of Mississauga, but it will be used a lot by Mississaugans, similarly to how the Yonge Line (and particularly Finch Station) is heavily used by York Regionites. So, hyping up an extension that will connect the Toronto Subway to Mississauga's RT network to Mississaugans makes perfect sense.

So suddenly a lot of Mississauguans will use the transit way? 😀

It's not going to get you downtown in 25 minutes from the border.

But it should get you to midtown in 25 minutes though (Renforth to Yonge / Eglinton) and that’s competitive with driving. Add 17 minutes on the transitway + transfer time and that could be ~45 minutes from MCC to Yonge / Eglinton.

Off peak this trip could be sub 30 minutes via 403/401 but it gets significantly worse with traffic.
