    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    There are 360 degrees in a circle in metric as well.

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    I am not confident that this would be the best approach. We already see a lot of drivers break rules and not get caught. Police should be catching them already and if they are not, then we need to think of alternatives. Making the highway design safer for dummies is a simpler approach. You just...

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    I don't want to drag this and let's agree to disagree. But I'll make 3 points clear: 1. Out of the 3 examples I mentioned, only one is makeshift. 2. You can't measure the impact on the ridership without having a control experiment (where we have the other option run in parallel). We can't say...

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Visual elements and aesthetics are important, especially when GO is competing. Yes, it competes with cars and TTC. By that logic, we should be okay with bare concrete walls in our new subway stations as long as trains are clean, we should be okay with the jersey barriers outside Union as long...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    I don't think that should be an issue because that already happens on 400 and 404 where not just one but two travel lanes exit to 407. I think that happens on 410 as well. They both can coexist and serve different markets. DVP is already beyond its peak capacity. It's congestion is far worse...

    In that case, some routes will need to renumbered like I suggested. There aren't many TTC routes with 4, 5 or 9 designation. Those should be easier to change. Other agencies can also look to renumber. It will be a one time pain but will make things easier in the long run.

    401 widening in Durham should be prioritized. 401 drops from 10 lanes to 6 lanes in Ajax and traffic always chokes up there. With more people moving to Durham, it's going to get a lot worse.

    We can also add an extra number before the existing route numbers for 905 buses. For example, York Region can add 5 to its bus routes, so route 33 becomes 533. Mississauga can add 3, Durham can add 7 and so on. Routes that are already 3 lettered will have to renumbered of course.

    If I remember correctly, construction won't start before 2024.

    Toronto Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    I don't understand the rationale behind putting the T logo. People can obviously see if it's a bus stop or a station, it is meant for transit, not for unloading trucks. You don't have to tell people they can get transit from a bus or subway station. Just tell what type of transit and which line...

    Will ONxpress take over Union expansion or will that remain directly under Metrolinx? I hope once RERification work is over, GO can modernize some of its design language starting with its industrial looking logo. Metrolinx's logo looks much more modern by comparison, also the one before the...

    What kind of reconstruction is going to happen from Humber to 427? This portion is at grade. Or are they talking about overpasses?

    Promising something that's not even in your control 😅 Or is it? 😮 Or "this" refers to the entire project with two towers?

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Why not have subways to Montreal and New York. Let's fight those gas guzzling planes. I am sure standing all the way in a crowded train to New York with 500 stops should be doable.

    I didn't realize that overnight Mississauga passed Edmonton that has more than a million people to become the sixth largest city in the country. I need to keep myself more updated. That Brampton all day GO you are referring to passes through Mississauga (at Malton) and so does the all day...

    By nearby high end skyscrapers, I hope you don't mean Daniels' Taj Mahals next door.
