Something that I've noticed in this light rail plan is the aversion of converting two-way roads to one-way operation, despite the benefits of reducing the overall ROW requirement as well as improving operations. For instance, why not keep the LRT on Clarence and convert to roadway to one-way?

Recognising this is off-topic, but Is a GO rail station at Dundas feasibly practical? The line is on the side of a cliff.

Yaaaaaay

It also won't cost us anything to shelve plans for 2 Day all-day GO on the Kitchener Line. Not proceeding with a study is a lost opportunity for all parties invoved (except perhaps CP). CP is already in enough hot water with the feds about the safety of their operations, and rail safety is...

I never thought I'd see the day... http://www.mississauga.ca/portal/cityhall/pressreleases;jsessionid=06B232AAD9DC3C6CF01F188D5A1524F7.node2-2?paf_gear_id=9700020&itemId=4900716q&returnUrl=%2Fportal%2Fcityhall%2Fpressreleases%3Bjsessionid%3D06B232AAD9DC3C6CF01F188D5A1524F7.node2-2

Is there somewhere in the settings I can change the default font to a sans-serif?

Why not just create custom brushes or set up different appearance presets?

UPX trains are being tested to travel on the Lakeshore East line Scarborough? Does this have to do with the construction of a maintenance/storage facility, or are they testing out the possibility of revenue service in the future (once the line becomes un-viable following the Pan-Am games).

That sounds a lot like DRL spacing.

The location of the Niagara Falls VIA station had me thinking. It's probably one of the few locales in North America that would actually be able to support a monorail. The tourist dollars and novelty factor are already there. I wouldn't even be mentioning it if the right-of-way between the VIA...

So, I'm kind of curious. If the 407 ever really that busy? If the province decided to start tolling the 401 based on time-of-day congestion, would enough traffic demand shift to the 407 that building a new highway would become unnecessary? In spite of being political suicide, putting in toll...

Not quite the same thing. I'm specifically talking about building a tunnel to connect the the Lakshore Line near Danforth GO station to Victoria Park Station and converting the existing Bloor-Danforth alignment between Victoria Park and Kennedy to a standard gauge heavy rail line with...

Is the SmartTrack alignment being duplicative of the the existing Bloor-Danforth subway alignment between Main and Kennedy a valid concern? I've been toying with the idea of converting the existing B-D alignment east of Victoria Park to SmartTrack and extending the alignment to terminate at STC...

There has to be a better option for a short-turn of the Lakeshore West bus route than at Humber Loop. Perhaps you could run it up the Kingsway to Jane to interchange with the subway there?

An alignment up Dufferin would not intersect with the rail corridor. I honesbtly don't think a "both" option would be feasible technically, financially, or politically. Unless you're looking at a King/Railway/Dufferin alignment, the turning radius from Queen to Dufferin would be too tight, and...

So, you'd rather have relief line not interchange with the Lakeshore West GO line?

I've always envisioned a branch tunnel swinging north off the mainline immediately west of Cooksville GO to travel under Palgrave Rd and terminate at Square One. Something like the following:

I'm not really talking about current plans. I'm aware there's currently no plans between Strachan and Bathurst. As well, there are currently some railway buildings and a cell tower in the way of extending the roadway past Pirandello. Preferred option...

How long will it take to extend Front to Liberty? A connection to the Gardiner is likely no longer possible, but at the very least it would be great to see some sort of local road connection.

I'm not saying that it was particularly realistic pipe dream, but I guess this sort of kills the prospect of connecting the western end of Wellington to Front at Spadina and converting both to One-Way operation between Spadina and Jarvis.
