In any case, the five-point intersection is quite common in Kitchener; Weber/East/Ottawa, Weber/Cedar/Lancaster/Krug, Lancaster/Ellen/Frederick, Lancaster/Queen/Victoria, Glasgow/Park/Strange, and Ahrens/Water/Victoria are all examples. A bit of research suggests that the railroad may have...

I had read somewhere awhile ago that there is a strong German (I think?) influence in the street pattern in KW. The article pointed to a number of 5-pointed intersections as examples of this.

I know it has been discussed for future expansion, but I cannot see the point of an express/collector system for the 401 west of Milton except maybe in Waterloo Region. With the large spacing of interchanges (which is not likely to change in the future), separating local and through traffic has...

Or, simply just Pioneer Station.

If you have GMail, you can upload it to Google Docs and make it public I believe (though I could be wrong). I was able to access the map earlier, but now I'm getting a 403 error. In either case, the map looks fantastic and makes me kind of sad knowing what we're missing. You could consider...

It opens themselves up to influence peddling, but is it illegal in its own right? If I were Judge Hackland, I would be worried about the precedent he would set by not following the law and kicking Ford out of office, assuming he does, in fact, find him guilty. It's not his place to find a way...

It's a long and silly name, but I don't really see how metropolitan isn't an apt description of Vaughn.

JFK is actually the furthest from Manhattan of the three major NY-area airports. And Chicago is one example of a city which demolished their downtown airport. There are all sorts of airports located adjacent to populated areas though, even where they aren't downtown.

Thanks for the info!

Is there any mapping showing where the rail link will run from the Kitchener Line to Pearson? I've only seen very rough maps.

Keep in mind that the whole thing is complicated by the fact that Union Station is split into three separate parts (train shed, buildings, and subway station), owned by three different agencies (GO, City and TTC). How much integration is there between the different parts?

Same here. Something to do with flepstudio.com. Spammers?

Was his Dad this incompetent though? I thought Larry O'Brien in Ottawa was a rather remarkable failure as a mayor; however, he didn't have the benefit of a decade in municipal politics behind him and was smart enough to realize he was incompetent and eventually let council take greater...

If you go to the original source, the TTC didn't calculate ridership for the combined station. It was only showing the number of people using each platform individually. Someone on wikipedia added them together to get their number. It should probably be removed since I think that technically...

I know this is very common in newspapers, but I really hate it when articles place each sentence in a separate sentence.

I'm getting the same warning. Very annoying.

Aren't they supposed to be cleaning up the old train shed as well? That could actually make quite a big difference.

Perhaps go up Dufferin to Dundas, and then continue up Dundas past Bloor to Jane.

I actually agree that the greatest potential is between Ottawa and Montreal. The cities are already quite close, VIA owns most of the tracks between the cities, and any improvements on the corridor would make it significantly more attractive than other modes of transportation without needing to...
