unimaginative2: Hah, I did make it sound as if those things are naturally occurring phenomena. I was thinking more along the lines of how feasible it would be add/change stops by expropriating pieces of those industrial properties up against the rail corridor, the choice of which would be...

Acceleride was a perfectly good name; any word on the motivation for the change?

Ja ja ja, mach schnell mit der art things, huh? I must get back to Dancecentrum in Stuttgart in time to see Kraftwerk. *cringe*

I think I'm starting to see that the argument hinges on the extent to which one believes the triangular areas between the corridors will be redeveloped and the form that redevelopment would take. If one believes that broad redevelopment will take place (i.e. the solid wall of industrial...

No one loses from regional rail; I'd love to see it in the Milton corridor for exactly the reasons you've given. I'm just saying that it alone isn't enough to hit points of interest between Hurontario and Kipling without significant inconvenience and it's hard to add stations to what would be a...

1) How would you get to the important intersections of Hurontario/Dundas, Tomken/Dundas or even Dixie/Dundas? What about in the middle of winter? 2) If you aren't driving, Milton line stations are placed poorly for serving East Mississauga along Dundas, not to mention Hurontario to MCC. 3) No...

This amuses/frustrates me as well and arguing the point is futile. For whatever reason, Peel may as well be the other side of the moon when it comes to transit discussion here, but York is simply "uptown". Maybe it's because people have internalized how the lines look on our...

17.) Thou shalt always space new rapid transit stops 500m apart.

Well deserved recognition.

One could argue that Dundas through Mississauga is just as interesting for its authenticity. It's quite eclectic and offers a survey of urban development trends here through the 60s and 70s, from the motels and diners on the east side to the big-boat-car planned communities on the west. It's...

Except that Mississauga and Brampton are hardly mice. More like parts of the same elephant. That said, this kind of intra-GTA whining is annoyingly counterproductive and an argument for political integration of the region. We should be working and lobbying as one.

Star: Police to control TTC constables

Who said the TTC has to agree? The province has the power to do what it wishes. Merging all the agencies is likely the only real long-term solution.

Wow, congrats! And welcome. It's really nice to see this worked out for you after following your other thread.

That's so preposterous that if it weren't coming from you, I couldn't believe it. Amazing.

That's a solid list of projects, however I hope they don't actually refer to the public square as a "piazza" (*cringe*) when it's completed.

Hilarious. Bravo!
