Norfolk will be running a bus to Brantford 3 times a day starting May 6. I understand it will also be going to Tillsonburg. From Brantford they have access to the GO Bus system & VIA. http://www.norfolkcounty.ca/transit/news-and-events/ So to get from Tillsonburg you will have to go from...

I understand that this is for additional data floors. The existing data hub will not (cannot) move due to the critical nature of this infrastructure. You need redundancy at all times. Even the 30 minutes that it could take to move a server from one floor to another would mean 30 minutes...

If you want to go east, Van Dusen is a great little street. Then jog south to Glenaden. It connects to the Humber River trails. North of you Mimico creek has some good trails (west of Kipling)...best way to get on them is Echo Valley. But either way the first few blocks are difficult...you...

Steve Munro knows better than this. He is smart enough to understand the different accounting for the operational vs capital budgets. He also knows this is not "creative accounting" but real accounting that is required (and the auditor general would make them do). He also assumes that the...

With the current animosity between certain factions within the SIx Nations it may be difficult to do either. Their initial treaty had them owning 6 miles on both sides of the Grand. There are disputes if Joseph Brant sold the land (or not) which goes to the heart of a large portion of the...

I'm sorry. You do not own your street. You pay rent to the city just like the car sharing company does. Anyone can park at anytime on your street (subject to likely permit only at certain times). It's great that you shoveled out a spot but that does not mean you own it. It's also great that...

Call me a little kid. But even now if I buy a shiny new thing I want to try it right away because (1) i want to see if it works and (2) its shiny. Why has the TTC received delivery of their shiny new thing and not driven it around to see if it works? Especially if there is distrust with BBD...

I'm cynical that Metrolinx has anything finished. Until I see the new cars rolling around the yard I have no faith that they are ready to accept any more cars. I want to know at what stage the other 4 are at as well. Does BBD have them ready and Metrolinx is playing games refusing delivery...

The CMA of Hamilton/Burlington has 750k. 180k are in Burlington so 570K in Hamilton (never understood why Burlington is part of the CMA...more closely linked with Oakville than Hamilton in my eyes) CMA of KW & Cambridge is 520k Mississauga is 720k. So Hamilton is closer to KWC than Mississauga.

Good to know. I recall in the UK they had actual rolling stock issues with ice in the past. The ice created sparks on the 3rd track which then caused smoke/fires in the soundproofing batting on the underside of train bodies. GO has lots of blowers on various switches. Are all switches on the...

It's amazing that if you look at the top 5 by distance (Manila, Hong Kong, Taipei, Karachi & Addis Ababa) only one of them is operated by Air Canada. Shows that they are not pushing the opportunities to grow their network.

It does not require more money. It means that some riders are advantaged and others disadvantaged. Plus transfers between cities. Some people are trying to use fare integration to increase funding for transit. There is a good argument for more funding. However, by linking it to fare...

Instead of 1 U DRL have they looked at 2 lines? DRL East via Queen. Tail tracks go from Yonge to York-ish. DRL West via King. Tail tracks go from University to Bay-ish If/when one hits capacity (mainly in the core) the other can be extended. Plus in the west King has such a high demand...

189 will go by: - Rona/Home Depot/Cdn Tire/Best Buy plaza(s) - Stockyards (including Nations Food) - Walmart + plaza - new plaza just west of Walmart (under construction) - new commercial/industrial plaza where Danier Leather was - Woolner St apartment complex That's a lot of trip generators...

Way off topic but... http://www.ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Commission_reports_and_information/Commission_meetings/2012/November_21/Reports/Wireless_Network_in_.pdf RFP stated that they MUST sign contracts with carriers representing 60% of cell phone users in Toronto (2 of the big 3). Why has the TTC...

Actually my prediction is that the next transit actually built and usable after Line 5 will be the Zoo-mobile. Which is planning to be Maglev in Scarborough. (can be built in 1-2 years after they get funding so not that hard to imagine)

There is likely a series of reasons for it. Here are my educated guesses: 1. Electrical capacity. Compression requires a small amount of energy over a long period of time to build up the pressure. While electric motors require a large amount of energy all at once 2. Cost. You will need...

Did anyone look at the ordering on page 27 of the TTC report for priorities? http://ttc.ca/About_the_TTC/Commission_reports_and_information/Commission_meetings/2019/January_10/Reports/Chief_Executive-Officer%27s_Presentation.pdf 1. Scarborough Subway (now called "Line 1 East Extension") 2. DRL...

If you are close to Annette you are also very close to Dundas...which has a good connection to the subway (other than my aforementioned delays at Keele). The entire street between Dundas & Bloor is 1.4km long and 400m away from Keele. Even if it does meet service standards...there are plenty...

I wonder what percentage of people living in Toronto now were actually here prior to zones? The more I think about the proposed changes why did they keep 30 High Park? It's only 400m from High Park to Keele. And the street is 1.4km from Annette to Bloor. Also no major hills that would create...
