    VIVA + York Region Transit

    GO Transit runs bus routes along the 407. I'd suggest adding a few more stops, and maybe exiting the highway for a bit to pick up some local passengers before adding a DRT bus. Hwy 7 East of Cornell is pretty barren Sure this may increase the total travel time for the routes but there's no...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Why tunnel though? I remember some proposals from a decade plus back of stacking the 401. I.e. Collector lanes on ground level, Express elevated (or something like that). Ford here is showing his blue conservative roots. Road congestion? Build more lanes! Hopefully he doesn't think that...

    General railway discussions

    I'm no railway engineer (though I did once stay at a super 8 LOL!). However a cursory look at the topography of the area shows that there is a narrow band of fairly even terrain that follows the Lake Ontario shoreline. Meanwhile the terrain North raises quite quickly. In fact a straight line...

    VIA Rail

    Would there be any utility in creating a rail connection at Gananoque/Kingston. Would there be significant savings in this routing for a NY/Toronto line, vs the round the lake route? It looks like there is a ~40 Km gap between the rail lines around Fort Drum and the rail lines on the Canadian...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I'd say that 36,000 pph is insufficient even without seeing the photos of the crowd. Probably double that and you might get close to moving everyone through the station. I get it, there's staffing issues, but we were downtown last year for NYE and it was a crush load crowd then too. Imagine a...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Drop the loco hauled trains. Go MU for better acceleration.

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    I like it. However this station would compete with the potential combined Dundas W/Lansdown GO station. Locating the station slightly North, while losing the convenience of a cross GO line transfer, gains access to the Bloor Subway line.

    VIVA + York Region Transit

    Interesting, this is the first time I've seen a stop on the CP (Belleville sub) line. This has been on my fantasy map for a few years, plus a few more stations.

    Oshawa 144-155 First Avenue | ?m | 42s | Ellsworth | Baron Nelson Architects

    If 90% of the units are 500 sq ft 1 bedroom units than the rest of the units would need to be positively massive in order to drag up the average size. side note. Yes it's depressing that builders are marketing such small unit sizes as if it's a positive and as some sort of a selling point.

    Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension Airport Segment

    Of course they were absolutely livid at the police for having the gall to ticket them for only leaving the car alone for 5 mins. How dare they enforce the laws.

    You can't say Canadians don't love their coffee... Three tim Hortons. Two McDonald's/McAfee. A Starbucks. A tea shop in the food alley. Is pilot still around?

    I mean, once you've hit Detroit why not include Chicago as well. That would connect literally millions of people.

    Unless I'm missing something from the runway extension plans. Extending the runway affects both directions not just one.
