    There would be NO ARL, meaning the GO Train would service the route and Weston. The GO Train would eliminate the need for the ARL. Its not just about Weston, its about the entire corridor and affected communities. Electrify the line.

    NO! From what I understand, Weston residents want the GO Train since it services Weston and other communities. It has been a part of Weston since the beginning. The problem is the ARL will pass every 15 mintues in both direction. At $20 per ride, do they really think Weston residents will...

    Not true. This will answer your comment: The first European settlement in the Weston area took place in the 1790s, when a saw mill was built on an old native trading path along the west side of the Humber River, named after the well-known Humber estuary in Yorkshire, England. In 1815 James...

    1) trains are electrified, its still important to look at burying the train in various parts due to the pure volume of trains that will continue to grow using the tracks. streets through weston would still need to be kept open, strachan ave, denision etc would still need to be kept open....how...

    WOW, again plenty of misinformation. Weston was here first. See link.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weston,_Ontario Trains came later. Trains made Weston prosper. There are literally 4 - 6 frieght trains a day, 12 GO Trains a day, and a couple of Via trains a day that currently...

    where did I say $600 million? Also, if they bury the train, there is savings from not having to rebuild and move the station, savings from not building the pedestrian bridge, savings from not having to expropriate. I did mention there are savings. the pedestrian bridge will not serve the...

    nfitz, you are greatly mis-informed about Weston. Weston residents want the line electrified. This is for everyone in Toronto. We are not NIBMY. We just do not want a train passing every 5 minutes through ALL the communities along the Georgetown corridor in Toronto. We do not want John...

    Closing John St will have a huge impact in Weston. First off, have you been to John Street? By closing this street and moving the station south of Lawrence will cause a traffic nightmare on Weston Rd. There are no left turns allowed onto Lawrence from a side street off of Rosemount. Nor can...

    Complaining about John Street closing. Its the fact that a diesel train will pass through Weston every 3 1/2 minutes with the ARL, GO Transit, Frieght trains, and VIA trains coming through. Even a future planned VIA link from Toronto to Montreal will ultimately pass through Weston! Its the...

    WOW, what a complete disregard for anothers community. I bet you will never ever use the ARL when it costs $20+ a ride one way and you can get one of your so called "friends" to drive you to the airport.
