This is exactly how I'm going to feel once the Hurontario LRT opens. Not one for crowds, just glad that it's there.

Update re: Chinguacousy Zum - The roadworks seem to have been completed. Trenching, and concrete pads for all the stops are done. Chinguacousy / Fairhill has a section of the Zum stop set up where the route timings are shown, but the rest of the stop remains to be seen.

For those unaware, Telus is now offering a "truly unlimited" plan (akin to those from US providers) where there is no data limit/bucket for the month. There is a limit of 50GB for hotspot data use, but the phone data itself does not have any limits. As a disclaimer - I am not sponsored for, nor...

Got room for one more? Hehe, it all looks so delicious!!

While the missing link sounds like a great idea, we're essentially asking CN and CPKC to give up a large section of existing rail in order to benefit GO operation. While they can agree on the concept, moving CN/CPKC onto the missing link creates complex issues with schedules and whether or not...

Yeah. I think the thing that's annoying about this is these studies have the ability to show results, but then we end up in a triangle where we study something, we get results, and then the results require more studies. It just feels like a never-ending cycle. I do agree with having more...

But wait, there's more! We need to study the studies and study the results and create more studies for the results so we can study things and blow a 20 year lead on electrification! .....Ugh.

It's so annoying how they're talking about doing what they're doing to connect the 410 to the 413, but we still have a bottleneck from Clark to Queen. I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs wondering when they'll be working on this project to fix that bottleneck...

Haven't been around to take photos since I'm super busy and the weather is terrible. The bridge on Mississauga road in Brampton that crosses the Kitchener line is now open. Similar to the one on Goreway, it's just a means to keep traffic moving when trains are stopped.

Makes me wonder if these deficiencies are the reason why speeds are limited on the entirety of the rail. If thats the case, I would have been fine with waiting a little while longer before launching things.

There's many here that are saying that it's not up to TTC to do TSP, but city council. If that's the case, everyone needs to start emailing their city council rep daily so this issue is brought to the forefront. I fear that even TTC isn't able to talk about this, yet many have heard through...

Hilarious. I know which project you're talking about, I believe it was called the Accelerated High Speed Internet Program. For anyone reading, the map is available here if you scroll down. -> https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontario-connects-making-high-speed-internet-accessible-in-every-community...

The only grade separation that I can think of is the rail going over 403 / Hurontario to MCC, and under the QEW.. There may be more that I'm not thinking of. Most of the rail is at the same grade as the road vehicles drive on. I have to hope that both Brampton/Mississauga councils agree that TSP...

The whole section appears to have been graded since I was last there. There's currently no other work that has taken place in the last year or so.
