This is expropriation. the one thing the province absolutely cant do is remove the Cities' right of fair compensation. That is enshrined in the charter. That is what the OLT is for. While they cant "block" it., they can definitely put up a fight afterwards and more than likely get more than a...

for the expropriation? the value will mostly be based off of revenue numbers only.

mostly reasonable. I think the "seat must be adjustable" regulation bans bannanna seats though. not sure if thats intentional

Oh come on, the diamond was great. whats the point of this? building an actual land crossing to the airport?

The problem with the Private sharing systems is the idea that without the docks its cheaper for them to run. Well of course. The docks exist to ensure that people always put away the scooters and not like right on the sidewalk. The scooters themselves were never the problem, i mean sure more...

we knew this. hasnt really been publicized too much. Everything is running based on that it will be going ahead no matter what

Yea I know before covid they had trains starting from pickering on that platform. I wonder if CN is doing much maintenance on it.

Random question, when was the last time Pickering GO's platform 3 on the other side of the cn corridor was used? Gotta be before covid with express services right? The tracks are looking...not great. Its owned by CN right?

yea this article is weird. basically ignores the last 40 years of history yes the travel times in the 70s were pretty good, but the freight companies have made it so its almost impossible to schedule trains on the existing corridor. requiring Via to wait behind CN's trains. It feels like the...

iirc there are no closures of length. They do either 1 lane overnight closures or weekend closures. nothing during rush hour

Right but we also dont know which trails and roads get closed. theres a big difference in overpasses/underpasses between a 7ft by 10ft culvert and a 2 lane/4 lane road thats 3 times the size. yes Alto is saying 0 grade crossings but these concerns will be taken care of and might I add paid for...

what is someone bout to spend the $5 billion for the bypass hub or whatever its called?

Thats basically it. As soon as the northern route is chosen 99% of this uproar will die down. especially when the 10m row will be publicized. people will be like. oh wait its not near me.

we have seen a few. the gerrard portal looks similar to what the TOC guys put out awhile ago. but lol at the catenary for go transit. minton portal one is new. im sure the city can come up with a better use for the park. The bridge ones have been out there for awhile

ford convention center aside. This feels like it would require a big scaledown of area for the EX. same with the new hotel. There will be a point where the ex doesnt make sense anymore right?
