The other question is where to put any intermediate stops. My first thought was that Rexdale Blvd was the only obvious spot but TTC bus service is actually only at Queen's Plate drive by the north end of the mall.

They're just reverting to the 1999 letters

Most of the remaining 14.5 km is pretty low density so it's not a high priority. The Viva website says $713 million in funding would be required but I don't know how old that number is. From the York Transportation Master Plan: "Construction of a dedicated rapidway from 19th Avenue/Gamble Road...

That's probably the right way to do it. I think having a line 1 and 3 is less confusing for most people than a 1A and 1B.

Don't you get my hopes up again!

Here are 18 of those properties. I imagine those lots will stay vacant as long as LRT has the slightest possibility of happening.

So not in my lifetime

And Montreal's REM is not scheduled to reach the airport until 2023!

Technically Confederation GO is not located in the former City of Stoney Creek.

Won't people have to haul their luggage from the Pearson Transit Hub to the terminals anyways? The expanded Link Train proposal would basically require 2 well built transfer stations rather than 1.

I like this a lot! My first thought was that this would add an extra transfer but then I realized that people would have to transfer from the Pearson Transit Hub to the Link Train anyways to get to the terminals. A design like this would basically give us two connected airport hubs, which I...

Wow, amazing work. From the fonts to the lines to the scale, this map is incredible to look at! There are a lot of specific details and decisions you made I want to comment on, but it's pretty overwhelming and hard to nitpick given the size and quality of this thing. For the major things, it...

March 16 is the "new deadline" for the Hamilton transportation task force. I wonder if we will get an announcement or if it will be delayed again.

The new stadium was actually built right on top of the old one, in a residential area. I wouldn't call it "car central", there's no massive parking lot or anything. The proposed location would've been adjacent to a rail yard and walking distance to downtown. The proposal was prefered by the city...

https://blog.metrolinx.com/2020/02/03/signs-of-our-time-new-transit-wayfinding-identifier-hits-the-streets/ This reads like satire: "Deciding on a new icon was no easy task. Over 150 unique symbols were floated, including letters, abstract symbols before landing on the ‘T’."

Because the WH platforms are on a dead-end spur pointed towards Toronto. Eventually both ends will be connected to the mainline which would eliminate this maneuver.

So the timeline is something like this: April 2018: RFP issued to three bidders for Hamilton LRT. June 7, 2018: Doug Ford is elected premier of Ontario. August 30, 2018: A spending freeze is issued on the Hamilton LRT and other projects. (1) March 29, 2019: Eight-month spending freeze is lifted...

I don't see how Barrie line RER and the Yonge North Extension are related at all. They are very different service types and don't even serve the same area. First of all, who says ridership between Downsview and downtown is extremely low? Considering most GO trips are to Union, that section...
