The province is losing the democratic support for this extension...First thornhill now Richmond hill ...Nice job..

I'm pro-density and development in general but a pure residential development like this is absurd ...No jobs no schools no grocery no commercials...Richmond hill will look more and more like a sleeping city.

IMO Bridge station shouldn't be built as top priority because there isn't any intensification there yet. Not even a single building. All condos are at the north side of High tech. They should rough it in and build it when the redevelopment of langstaff land actually starts. A station at...

Anyone know if the project has changed to other name? looks like it's stalling

Yes it's a liability issue with Home Depot/Metrus. Too many people crossing through the parking lot to make short cuts. It looks to me the bus terminal needs another crossing (or a stairway to the High Tech overpass)to connect the neighbourhood area. The current bridge ONLY connects to a...

Nice pic! but that's what I've seen on Hwy 7. Some right turning cars don't want to wait and cut onto the bike lane at intersections (see the attached modified picture)

I mean the proposed all-day-two-way routes, it stops at Aurora.

Yet Metrolinx doesn't even plan to connect the Barrie Line to VIVA Yellow? lol

8868 Yonge Westwood Garden appears to be another project According to Richmond Hill Site plan database, the project of this thread is revised site plan submission for a 15 storey mixed use File Re-Assigned residential / commercial building having a g.f.a. of 19, 523m2 fsi of 4.1 240 apt...

wow the comments from Josh Matlow is funny. He thinks tying the projects together would slow down the DRL??? what is he smoking??? If it were not the pressure from the north, DRL would never be realized given the incompetency of Toronto City Council.

The reconfiguration of RH GO is a nice-to-have thing. The ridership going to Union is low compare to other GO lines (just look at the ridership increase on that line). It is the ridership going to the middle (Y/F, Y/S, Y/E, Y/B) exploding now.

Is the ridership peaking because of the boom of employment nodes such as Yonge/Sheppard, Yonge/Eglinton, Yonge/Bloor? The entire condo boom of Toronto was just in recent years..

Maybe just because Beaver Stone moved? I saw their site on Woodbine Ave the other day. Edit: just looked at their website. Looks like they moved to the smaller 125 Langstaff, just across the south parking lot of Langstaff GO. Woodbine Ave is the new main office.

I'd suggest they put some kinds of barrier for the hwy7 east portion. I have seen heavy trucks partially shift onto the lanes, and some small cars totally cut the lanes to make quicker right turn. Also it does not seem safe for the bike lane to cut through Highway 404 entrance. It maybe better...

Any one know the potential of "signalling priority"? there are so many intersections on hwy7 and the single lane under the 404 bridge looks embarrassing. The signal is not smart at all.
