Sorry for a bit OT but where does one find a reference, like a map, for all these "subs"? I see them mentioned frequently as if people are just supposed to know which ones are which. It would be nice to be able to check what the conversation is about.

There's an interesting picture of the future LRT extending into Brampton in this video at 30:25. It also shows the GO station expansion which suggests the south platform of Brampton GO Station built in the late 2000s will not be removed, but converted into a centre platform and the new third...

Line 10 please.

I don't understand. Mississauga has to start somewhere. I'd love to see more rail lines in the future. Putting this convenient train at eye level will do more to encourage ridership and desire for more lines than would some kind of elevated monstrosity eyesore expensive gaffe.

You don't need grade separation to go at a good speed. I know because I lived in a city that had good tram service. Separated ROW, prioritized signals, and reasonable stop spacing (which I think this LRT has) equals convenient, comfortable and fast travel. Faster than a car? Probably not. But...

Dedicated ROW with priority signalling = Out of my way, four-wheeled plebs. True chad transit.

The official render doesn't show that part but the relative elevations suggest that it will be at-grade. Looks to me like they might place the crossings at existing intersections, one at Square One drive and the other at the 403 north exit ramp.

But you need a Presto account anyway to make it work? I'm not seeing what advantage this gives. What am I missing?

So the pushbox at Port Credit is on the west side of Hurontario, but the pushbox at the QEW is on the east side?

I do wonder where they're going to squeeze it in, then. I guess the north portion of Brampton GO can be moved to accommodate a third track on that side? Edit: Sorry, didn't read ShonTron's comment... If it's going on the south side, won't they need to rebuild the south portion of the VIA/GO...

The double-tracked section is barely 1.5km long. Triple tracks both east and west of that. All of it was single-tracked just 16 years ago. Is it really so difficult of a problem to overcome with a little smart scheduling and coordination of the trains?

There is 100% going to be a straighter desire path near that curvy sidewalk.

Can someone post the relevant info from that? I don't have a FB account.

The tower nearest Hurontario is supposed to have retail space in the podium.

Like what? I don't want to make the bus driver tap the sign, but I spent a portion of my 90s childhood in Brampton and everyone knew that "Main Street", "Highway 10", and "Hurontario Street" were three names for that one road. It makes perfect sense to call the LRT Line 10, or some variation on...

While I share your frustration with the inconvenience of Hurontario being constantly worked on, I think the LRT is a good thing. I've lived in a European city with a proper streetcar network, and rail is simply better, Especially on a dedicated ROW. Buses are literally the bare minimum of...

I don't understand why Metrolinx and the province are both saying, "No Backsies!" to moving the Steeles stop. Having read this earlier post I'm left confused at the intransigence on display. I get that it's a change in scope of the contract, but it's honestly such a small one. We're taking...

No, it's my mistake. I drew conclusions from the top-down render and some of the other comments. I didn't look closely enough at the other pictures. The bike lane being raised above road level helps, and it's not a "gutter". It would surely be nice to have some extra horizontal separation as...

As wide as it is, it's still a "bicycle gutter". Cycle paths should be fully separated from road traffic. If you have 2m to spare anyway, attach it to the sidewalk. Bicycle vs. pedestrian collisions tend to be less deadly than car vs. bicycle collisions, for what I hope are pretty obvious reasons.

In ShonTron's post immediately before mine, he quotes from your post, which has two attachments, and I'm referring to the second one, which for some reason has "Highway 410" marked on a road that clearly isn't the 410.
