Yes! 407 Tolls will be cut in half....so the 905 wins huge in this! If a campaign can get this message across to voters it could maybe be put through! As for outside GTA drivers, maybe a system can be put where if driver passes over the first toll gantry (say ajax) and exits at the last toll...

I also realized yesterday, if we toll the 401, then the traffic patterns will change on the 407 by serving people in the 905 rather than being a luxury bypass. Why? Because right now everyone (incl myself) uses the 401 to go across town or hwy 7 to do the northern crossrown. If every freeway...

if metrolinx goes ahead with putting the lakeshore line underground with a union station south, it would be ideal to build a gardiner tunnel in conjunction with a rail tunnel. Of course i am sure such well executed coordination would never take place because it makes too much sense. Not to...

Good Point. Also if the Barrie Line is expanded to the degree of the Georgetown/Lakeshore then you could push current Richmond Hill commuters to travel to Downtown via Maple/Rutherford/King City stations. Unfortunately the Milton line doesn't have a similar alternate :( Another point in all...

This is probably the wrong thread for this but what the hell... I was always under the impression that the Gardiner could not be in a trench because the land south of Front St is on essentially garbage. Yet the other day when i was on the go train, I saw a condo under construction and noticed...

1. I am not saying the DRL has to be 100% private funding. All I am saying is that private investors would certainly be interested in this line. 2. If you have wide rail vehicles and a completely automated system, like the Canada Line has, increasing frequency would offset the need for large...

The reason I believe DRL is a perfect candidate for a PPP project is because the overall outcome of the Canada Line shows a project built earlier than promised, on budget, and it is operating very well. It also looked at the most efficient means of operation by looking for an entirely automated...

Now take the same sentence and reword it around then suddenly a DRL is quite possible... Even if DRL is privately constructed, any potential gov't transit funding will more than likely be diverted towards a Sheppard extension. And yeah...while no private investor would be interested in...

I would estimate that approximately 60-70% of DVP's traffic problems would be solved by demolishing and rebuilding the 401/404/DVP interchange! Make it a 4-Level Stack. Braid the Sheppard & York Mills Ramp and prevent access to them from the 401 (Use Vic Park or Leslie). Push through 4 + HOV per...

Although your map is a bit off (your line ends @ Albion and Martin Grove instead of Humber College) if a subway line like that went up Albion then followed Finch down to Humber College, you have solved literally all of North Etobicoke's transit problems! Suddenly intersecting buses along...

I guess the idea maybe is to launch the TBM into the ground at Don Mills and go east to Victoria Park. By the time it reaches Victoria Park the hope is that funding would then be available to push to Warden and so forth... Also...is there any harm in keeping a TBM in the ground for some time...

A) After the DVP, the line would transition from underground to at grade B) There would be an grade "Calgary Style" Wynford Station in the median with access below to Wynford Dr (See Yorkdale Station) B) widen the existing bridge over the Don Valley (8 lane cross section in width) C) Run this...

Not to mention that it is also a GO Station as well. Wow that would be a pretty significant intermodal hub then eh? YUS + Sheppard + GO Barrie Line interchange.

Yeah this idea sounds like a good one... An LRT line could begin from Wilson and Albion and go diagonally north-west and right into Brampton while the subway could be emerge from underground near this area and then be elevated along the 401 and terminate at Etobicoke GO Station. Or another...

The spadina extension would technically push a sheppard subway almost close to Keele...the road ends at Weston. No point in sending any more subway down there...if you've seen Sheppard past Keele, you know there will never be subway type ridership there. In the long term it would be best if the...

Were we not talking about a Tunnel here? How would a tunnel take out 5000 properties? Also any talk of right of way acquisition is south of Eglinton at the very least...From Eglinton to Lakeshore, in a bored tunnel, with almost no disruption. I can see an at most maximum of 50 properties being...

Anyone notice the special attention given to the 407 Bus Service? "Hwy 407 Bus Service, Frequent Service Monday-Friday" and it is the only bus route on the map that has a dark green overlay on the route... Although it only goes from Square One to Unionville, what happened to the western...

And an Eastern DRL that ends at Eglinton would serve both those area's better than an Eglinton Line would.

Just because you keep calling it a "fringe" does not make it a fringe area. This is not your Toronto from 1965 when Bloor was the main east-west avenue, times have changed and many many people have migrated northerly. I am not saying Sheppard is equal to Bloor but what i am saying is that...

I am not saying that we need the 400 south extension as a commuter route. That is why i am proposing that it has tolls as high as necessary. What it is brings is a critical artery that can allow vehicles to travel. This does not mean single car commuters but rather... Carpoolers, Transit Buses...
