    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Just look at Toronto and how the subway hasn't spurred development in some places for 50 years. It all depends on zoning. And Mineola, particularly Mineola West, but increasingly Mineola East as well, is full of wealthy people who will have no desire for intensification in their neighbourhood...

    Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Where are you seeing developable land? Mineola is all detached homes, some of which are pretty expensive. I don't think that'll be changing anytime soon. Actually the residents would probably riot if anyone tried to increase the density in that area.

    Toronto Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport | ?m | ?s | Ports Toronto | Arup

    I'm part of the LGBT community (G specifically) and I wouldn't oppose easier access to Hanlan's. The annoying ferry is part of why I don't like going. I think it would be great if there was a cycling option for example

    Highway 401 Transit and Auto Tunnel

    I agree that we can't just keep adding a lane to combat congestion on our highways, but the bottleneck on the 401 could be addressed by tunnelling the express lanes, so that we don't have that huge bottleneck by the 427. But I wouldn't add any more lanes after that. And we definitely need focus...

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

    I forgot how awful it was. I don't miss it at all (except for the smell of Cinnabon).

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    The only thing that I think that most people agree is that the Liberals immigration policy has been terrible. So I'm not quite sure why he and the Party are so stuck on continuing this course. The only thing that makes sense is that the Liberals are so beholden to corporate interests and having...

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    I always wondered where all this Trudeau hate came from because he has literally done nothing to deserve it. If you have some issues with his policies, I get it. His government's policies on immigration, TFWs and other imports of labour have been extremely questionable. But do I trust PP on...

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

    Honestly just looking at a map tells you how dumb this alignment is. What good reason can there be to divert off Yonge like that?

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

    Seeing as this photo was from the 90s, is this hallway back in use now?

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Both Finch and Eglinton should be faster than the existing TTC streetcars because they have their own ROW. But it doesn't mean all consideration shouldn't be taken to improve speeds. I also happen to believe that speed matters for public transit, whether it be a GO train, a subway, an LRT or a bus.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    For a second I thought it was Milton line upgrades, but then it clicked it was the Milton GO station, not the whole line. Sad lol

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

    I agree Union has a lot of retail space already and not all of it is full yet. I do wonder about the animation of the Bremner Concourse with no retail though.

    Cycling infrastructure (Separated bike lanes)

    I've seen this in Mississauga too.

    PM Justin Trudeau's Canada

    If the NDP do what they said and would vote on an issue-by-issue basis, then I think the government can survive for some time. The Liberals just need either the NDP or the Bloc to vote with them. If the NDP say they won't vote for something, then the Liberals can either not bring that item to a...

    Quebec-Windsor Corridor

    I feel like cutting Union Station and Gare Centrale would kill the viability of this project, but what do I know lol.

    Montréal Transit Developments

    Hmm I always call it Gare Centrale versus Central Station. I wouldn't even be able to tell you why.

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

    I have to say the approach here does make Toronto feel like a provincial backwater instead of the financial capital of a G7 nation. I guess I've gotten so used to it I don't expect anything better, but seeing Australia do so much better than us is kinda disheartening.

    Roads: Gardiner Expressway catch-all, incl. Hybrid Design (2015-onwards)

    My job is definitely doable remotely, which is why it's in the process of being "centralized" to our office in Bangalore lol.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    When they built the new terminal closer to the Gardiner I thought that would help. But I guess in the intervening years since the bus terminal moved, traffic has just gotten that much worse. It's such a pain being stuck on a GO bus that is just trying to leave the station and get on the...

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

    As with anything Milton-related, I'll believe it when I see it. It's been decades without any major progress.
