C. Maybe if there was some TOD in the area he would be willing to move there and use the station ;)

It would make a lot of sense for it to connect with the new Liberty Village GO RER station on King. Dropping to King would allow it to intercept all the major GO lines before they reach Union. According to the Union Station capacity study, this would help offload ~20% of demand to Union...

Interesting seeing this pop up in my email.

According to Bramptonist, the tunnelling was added as an amendment as an option to be looked at. So the original motion was at grade along main street.

But that wasn't the initially chosen alignment, and that isn't the highest ridership corridor. The originally chosen alignment was "B1 - Pape Queen", which didn't dip down to the Donlands and was one of the lowest ridership options reviewed. It changed to "B2 - Pape Queen via Unilever" due to...

Ridership studies don't seem to have much influence on the alignment, as we saw with the DRL south. Option 5 is my favourite. It goes further east so there is less coverage overlap with the Yonge line (and it intercepts buses earlier) More TOD potential along the Victoria Park. Don Mills is...

Yeah, it's absolutely ridiculous that they're required to do that. It goes against every principle of affordability, reducing traffic congestion, and improving sustainable mode share. Toronto should go the way of Montreal and San Francisco and eliminated parking minimums citywide (or at least...

What is your opinion about potentially replacing Hurontario LRT with Hurontario elevated ICTS? ;)

The metric shortform (lower case m) means one thousandth. Like how a milligram is mg and millimetre is mm. I've never in my life heard MM for million. I looked it up, it seems more like MM vs. M is a legacy accounting thing vs. everyone else thing than a US vs. world thing. That sounds like...

The city proactively downzoned all of Queen for RLS, so if you're expecting land use and transportation planning to have any relationship to each other then you're setting yourself up for disappointment. By "tunneled" I think you mean 'bored', because there is no alternative to tunneling...

UPX just crawlsss when it approaches the airport though. It's psychologically punishing to watch the airport approach in slow motion when you are rushing to make a flight.

The NCC (well, its precurser the FDC) is who commissioned Greber in the first place. Implementation of the plan was the NCC's raison d'être. Saying that these were decisions made "by the federal government" ignores the fact that this is the federal agency appointed by the federal government for...

This is the same NCC that: Abruptly razed a large, functioning, centrally located neighbourhood for redevelopment, only to leave it as a vacant dumping ground for snow (subsequently contaminating the soil) for half a century Ripped up all the rail lines and streetcars because they were...

So, this technically is a "2018 provincial election transit promise" Even though Quebec Solidaire has 0% chance of ever being elected, it's interesting to see all of the transit proposals thrown together onto a fantasy map like this:

I mean, I think the markings are a great idea and will encourage the right behaviour. It's just that from my daily experience commuting in Montreal, I don't think the etiquette around letting people exit before entering has developed there yet, even with the platform markings. I find myself...

Really? What struck me is how people would still block the door despite the presence of those markings.

I found it hard to visualize everything since wikipedia and most contemporary news articles didn't seem to include maps of the proposed routes, just the descriptions. Here is a map of the original LRT plan. Ottawa has a little single-tracked diesel line (Trillium line) in a rail corridor that...

A few comments: I know this is a conceptual map, but it is still ugly as sin There doesn't appear to be anything on this map that isn't already in the works except for the Jane LRT and some "enhanced bus," but I guess that's her being realistic. "Sheppard Rapid Transit" sounds like hedging for...

I'm just going to be pedantic for a minute. That article was written in 2010, with the results of the 2006 census. Vancouver has seen steady gains in its mode share year over year thanks to its land use policies and consistent expansion of its elevated, automated transit system. Public transit...

Not to offend any parents on this forum, but I would infinitely prefer pets on the train to children ages 0-14.
