I think this is pretty bang on. We'll have to wait and see whether the UPX will turn out as predicted, both in terms of ridership and the removal of car trips between downtown and YYZ.

The UPX issue has almost turned into an "us vs. them" issue, whereby all of us "normal folk" hate on the big bad rich business guys that'll be able to afford the UPX fares lol. Just a comedic observation. (Note: I understand the greater issue at hand :) )

I read an article stating Kitchener's Economic Development Department is preparing a report to be submitted to both Metrolinx/GO and Glen Murray regarding counter-peak service. Companies in the Lang Tannery building in Kitchener (along with the Waterloo tech sector as a whole) are privately...

This mayor is notorious for not doing his research. He's spewed Rob Fordian facts about the LRT project in Waterloo Region, and believes that because there are railway tracks in Cambridge, it means GO can operate their trains here. He fails to acknowledge simple things, like CP owns the tracks...

Here's hoping that two thirds of council endorse this motion, as the clear winners would be residents from North York, East York, Scarborough and Downtown. It would be a real shame for this not to pass.

I wonder how CP would react to GO extending rail service to Cambridge, as that's a busy section of track for them.

Thanks for the replies. I've seen them passing through Mt. Albert before.

What's their route from the BBD plant in Thunder Bay? Thanks.

Please forgive me for this possibly obvious question, but will Don Mills station be underground? The crosstown website says it'll be at surface level, yet the drawings show it as underground. I'm confused about this station. Thanks!

Regarding the Kitchener LRT, it was intended as a reurbanization tool, and has so far lived up to that task. There are numerous high density residential infill projects currently underway in both Kitchener and Waterloo. Millions of dollars have been invested in this project. For Hudak to cancel...

On a somewhat related note, will the installation of CTC along the North mainline (particularly Kitchener-Georgetown) improve travel speeds through Guelph? Thanks.

Will CTC between Kitchener and Georgetown improve travel times/speeds through the Guelph Jct?

Any indication of what king of improvements will occur?

If only transit lines would be planned by transit experts, rather than politicians.... If only....

Placing wind turbines along the DVP sounds familiar to an earlier proposal to line the 401 with turbines. What ever happened to that proposal...

The argument that I've heard against pedestrian bridges in transportation planning courses has been that human psychology dictates we take the shortest possible route to our destination. Pedestrian bridges over railways and highways are one thing, but over a city road would seldom be used.

I believe that the portions of the shed that have yet to be torn down under the glass canopy house the signal wiring and other infrastructure (PA wiring?).

Where exactly do they drive the TR's down from (CN yard somewhere?)? I saw them driving SB at highway 48/Mt Albert. Thanks

This is not favouritism towards the Lakeshore Line. It's a matter of the infrastructure, crews and vehicles being in place/ready to go. The people at GO would love to add trains to the Milton line but there's one issue: CP. GO would love to add more trains to Barrie but: it's largely single...
