Any idea how the Province's temper tantrum is going to effect the viability of this project going forward @Northern Light ? Are we looking at this project potentially being stalled once again?

Finally.

Ok this is nice

This is getting Goode

Pinnacle seems to have their CM down to an exact science. They move notably faster than others in the city.

Because its the Toronto thing to do. I hope they really meant this: https://toronto.citynews.ca/2024/08/31/toronto-pearson-airport-expansion-construction-plan/ This is what JFK and ORD are doing in the next 10 years: (note the Studio Gang terminal for ORD was pushed back to phase 2, SOM...

There are two ways to address this: 1) Install crossing gates 2) Reduce operation speeds at crossings Realistically, only one of those options will be viable for administrators in both Edmonton and Toronto. Transit users will be inconvenienced but costs will be kept down as we collectively...

Shortening the current runway seems like a very bad idea if the airport is staying for the next 50 years. Wouldn’t that effectively shut down the airport for any commercial operations? Leaving the airport to be suitable only for general aviation purposes? (aka rich folks with private aircraft)

Yeah, I don't think any Federal partner is going to want to sign on to this. The likely outcome, if any, of this proposal is that it will be reworked a few times until it eventually dwindles down to being a few tunneled express segments around key interchanges.

Which has worked very well for Zurich for many years. Unless MX is planning super long trains on high frequency corridors, the push-pull config is not going to be that much slower than EMUs.

Not to mention the added challenge of keeping a reasonable amount of traffic flow on North America's busiest highway while under construction. Lets assume this is a deep-bore tunnel to address the crossing concerns you highlighted previously. Start adding a few interchanges/exits to make the...

This would without a doubt be the most expensive construction project in Canadian history, possibly North America (excluding the nationwide interstate project) I can’t wait for the eventual press leak on IO’s number for the project. Let’s not forget this is the land where bike paths cost 75...

Insane. If pursued, there is no way they keep this from going north of 50 billion. Say goodbye to any transit expansion anytime soon if this project becomes a reality.

If the plan is still to run 4 bilevels with one Eloco, the outcome will be roughly the same.

Electrification is easy when you only have one rail line.

Maybe its time we allow private bikeshare/escooter services like every other city in Canada?

Also of note - Edmonton and Calgary are still approving multiple new subdivisions every year, and neither city has a "greenbelt" I do think we can learn a bit from Edmonton on being more ambitious when it comes to multiplex policy though. Edmonton was able to pass a multiplex bylaw that allows...

I mean there are many commutes along line 1 and 2 where its faster to drive outside of rush hour. This line increases the viability of living without a car in north Toronto and that's still a win, even if it isn't the fastest option.

Is there a public art program for any of these stations? I'm noticing the huge amount of wall space available in the escalator shaft @Frankietls
