    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    The express section of lakeshore east is entirely west of here, east bound trains make every stop to oshawa. There's no need for more than two tracks here unless via frequencies pick up like crazy or we want to run express services to bomanville that bypass stations in durham

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Admittedly, east of mccowan, more people live south of the 401 than north of it

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    equating the homes and workplaces of hundreds of thousands to ‘basically nothing except for the zoo’ is pretty rude and ignorant I dont think a subway needs to go to pickering anytime soon but faster transit connections to areas other than downtown are desperately needed in east scarborough and...

    Toronto Lower Don Lands Redevelopment | ?m | ?s | Waterfront Toronto

    just toured their warehouse in waterloo region yesterday! They said they are just a subcontractor of the landscape contractor so not sure they'll have a proper announcement

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    best thing that can happen is everyone has to move out? i thought we were done with urban renewal

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    *I'm a little late on this but the crosstown already won't be compatible with the Eglinton East LRT if built because of troubles building on top of the new subway tunnel. There's no reason they can't build the Eglinton East Line to the same specs as Finch West so they can share rolling stock or...

    Space by the looks of it

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    since they ripped out the rails the chance of this happeneing (north of brampton at least) is now lowwww. Rapid service all the way to mayfield in brampton however is totally doable. Put this together a while ago but here's my vision for what improved Milton and Richmond Hill Lines could look...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    There's already a planned redevelopment https://urbantoronto.ca/database/projects/malvern-town-centre-redevelopment.48850 The new development could certainly have more sway

    407 Rail Freight Bypass/The Missing Link

    I think the Missing Link's best shot at getting built is if the 407 line gets built as heavy rail instead of BRT. For that section of track, there could be parallel freight tracks to get freight trains off the midtown and Milton corridor. I don't see it getting built as freight only because the...

    Toronto Concord Canada House | 231.97m | 74s | Concord Adex | Arcadis

    definitely wasn't clear my bad I meant time-wise. I tried to figure out how long they were spending on each floor but had some struggles : )

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

    The only useful LRT conversion of the transitway I can see happening is if it's converted as an extension of the Eglinton line. If it exists as a stub line from Renforth that linear transfer wouldn't be the worst but would definitely hurt ridership. Ideally, it could have a wye letting half of...

    Toronto Love Park | 3m | 1s | City of Toronto | CCxA

    The one time i visited i actually saw lots of toddlers having a blast with the animal statues! Kids also seemed to be having fun touching the water or watching dogs in the park. Not as oriented towards kids as some spaces in Harbourfront, but I think they packed a little something for everyone...

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

    Toronto not having many transit alternatives to the Gardiner made me laugh. Ignore the crude drawing but I'd say the lakeshore line is a pretty good alternative for the Gardiner.. Tones of parallel streetcar lines too for last-mile journeys. Bus lanes can also be added to the new Blvd so GO...

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

    Montreal demolished the bonaventure expressway through downtown and built a park in its place. Seoul has done the same, renaturalizing the creek the highway was built on. San Francisco, and Portland have done the same. These may not be direct comparisons but they had the ambition we are lacking...

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

    How is it that American cities that have little to no public transit can demolish their freeways to no traffic disaster, or Vancouver survive without them but toronto can’t? I say tear it all down. If you wanna keep the newly built part open it as a park. The rest turn it into a boulevard with...
