Was there last summer too, nice city. Brown's main talking point is the self induced bottleneck of traffic on the surface as they removed 2 lanes to extend sidewalks in the Integrated Downtown Plan. His political agenda is to pacify the downtown groups of businesses and opposing residents from...

I talked to Brampton Transit staff during their public information sessions: There is a Hydrogen Bus Pilot in the works, challenge is sourcing the Hydrogen infrastructure. There is consideration of altering the 505C from Malton GO bus loop and continuing on straight to Airport. They are going...

Thanks for sharing the RFP, good to see these diagrams: Riverwalk portion mentioned is for phase 1, there's also phase 2 north of this and a phase 3. Brampton is the only GTA city with a Nimby old guard who control their own media outlet to get their interests back in power and slander...

For several years the Blue Jays and Argos shared the SkyDome and exhibition stadium together, would be the closest example I could think of with baseball and football.

I will never understand the attitude that nothing will be built on Queen when it's already happening right across Brampton and half a dozen new towers have been built already. Sure these fantasy towers may not resemble real life, but all of Queen is going to be intensified in the 2030's...

Heritage is fine, they expanded to 6 GTA locations with 3 in Brampton.

68 storeys is the new proposal record in Brampton beating out this 65 storey proposal further east on Queen. I been watching this plaza for decades and it's been primed for a redevelopment. Former businesses like Sears, Kelsey's have been knocked down, fenced off awaiting this day.

Here's a horrible attempt from MiWay at providing shelters on Derry at Malton GO Most of these folks cross the chaos at Derry onto the 14 Torbram to Brampton after a GO Train lets them off at Malton every half hour. The station also has zero sidewalks for them to reach this stop. LIke...

I enjoy arguing over the Brampton side of the LRT, it's been my hobby for almost a decade now as team surface. Any perspective that supports cutting off this extension at Steeles belongs in a fringe minority. The vast majority of experts here and residents in Brampton support the concept of an...

Many of us in Brampton want this LRT going further north beyond Bovaird. The studies have been focused on getting it past Queen with the costs and it's also Metrolinx main priority to unify all the west end GO lines together. Once a commitment happens with the recent news , I hope we can begin...

I know a bunch of us want to know if these sudden changes during construction means they can move the stop south of Steeles closer to Gateway Terminal on the north side extension?

2 Brampton Updates: 1) Recent shots of construction for the LRT north end in Brampton just south of Steeles. 2) This Wednesday Brampton council will be proceeding with the $2.8B, 3.8km, 4 stop tunnel route towards TPAP process and continue their advocacy with province/feds. There is no...

Nice to see 4:28am added to Torbram 14. Useful to catch early flights. Airport/Derry has been improved with massive Miway shelters on both sides similar to below. These are being deployed across more intersections on Derry. Now my luggage will stay dry when changing with the 115 Airport Express.

Well, let's hope that since the Peel Region split is cancelled, we can get the Queen St Water main/Sewer capacity upgraded which has been delaying many of these developments.

How is this being financed? I see Orlando Corp in Malton is putting up $25M. Are there provincial or Municipal dollars involved here? The city of Brampton had to give away their $50M civic centre that featured the busiest flagship library in the city and arts spaces for free to house TMU...
