    Orangeville-Brampton Railway (OBRY)

    I will assume you know the layout on those industrial lands I referred to and, from the point of view of generating transit ridership...yes, the type and configuration of the industrial properties there (and coming soon) to the area I described as a wasteland makes the description completely...

    Orangeville-Brampton Railway (OBRY)

    All for that, where populations/density/land use warrant that higher order transit....none of that exists, or is likely to exist, within a reasonable catchment area of this line....it is tantilizingly close to where the people are/will be but not there. Your disdain for bus as transit is...

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    The valuation part is completely wrong....to suggest that what we the people sold for $3B is now worth $30B completely ignores the fact that the highway is now about 50% longer than what we sold and in the key middle parts substantially wider (ie can carry more passengers and generate more...

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    there is so much wrong with that 2019 piece in the star that it is quite shocking that it made it to print. Here is a list of a few that i can bring to mind just from memory without searching/googling What the government sold for $3B in the 1990s is not worth $30B (is that the number she...

    Orangeville-Brampton Railway (OBRY)

    Where would the riders come from though? We can mock buses and maybe the bus service needs improving but the buses, at least, run along the road closest to where the, relatively sparse, populations of people are (Main/Hurontarion/10)....this rail line does not....from the juncture with the...

    Brampton Symphony Condominiums | ?m | 23s | Inzola | GAT Arch

    reminds me a lot of the stuff being built in and around the Kipling subway station.

    Brampton Symphony Condominiums | ?m | 23s | Inzola | GAT Arch

    Posted this in another thread (the Hazelview rental) but it belongs equally here as it is a panaorama of the two buildings (along with the existing Mattamy condo "Rhythm")

    Brampton 205 Queen Street East | ?m | 31s | Hazelview | Graziani + Corazza

    Sorry, i have a long standing professional and personal relationship with senior folks at HV and, back when they were Timbercreek, they called me the day the did the deal years ago to say "you should see what we are building in your town"....have been talking to them on and off as the building...

    Brampton 205 Queen Street East | ?m | 31s | Hazelview | Graziani + Corazza

    Can't remember the last time I posted at UT but i was out for a walk the other day from way north of this site and snapped this crappy pic...made me want to come back to see if there was much discussion about it....good to see this rental project being followed but surprised it is still showing...

    Intercity Bus Services

    Yeah, I should clarify, I do not mean to disparage his work....It is a nice looking map I just find the end product of limited use . Perhaps a constructive suggestion would be to change it's name from 2019 Intercity Bus Map to 2019 No- GO Transit Intercity Bus Map.?

    Intercity Bus Services

    ^I agree that showing all those GO routes would be difficult...but I disagree that you would have to also show train service.....the fact that a route ends or goes through a train station should direct a reader to consult a train schedule. While it may be difficult to include GO, I think...

    Intercity Bus Services

    Possibly, but the lead into the map I commented on led me to believe it was an all-encompassing map of intercity buses. “Clearly my familiarity with the intercity bus network was out of date, so I decided to create the 2019 intercity bus map (PDF version here):” Anyway, I see the error of my...

    Intercity Bus Services

    My bad....apologies....with all those GO logos on the map I thought GO services were included in the maps......which leads to another question...why aren't they?

    Intercity Bus Services

    Looking at your map through a very local lens I am led to ask, “how does Brampton get completely left off that map?” I don’t do a lot of intercity bus travel, so maybe service has stopped.....but I thought there were fairly significant intercity bus services available at, both, the Bramalea...

    I don't think this is the correct thread to discuss the union station threads in. ;)

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    ^seems a bit of a cheap shot by the federal minister. this week marks a year....and the "Ford" government is only now getting going on it....should that not actually say "Ontario" government? Despite his many flaws, it seems hard to blame Ford for the first half of that "lost" year.

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    Sorry, I misunderstood you and thought you were saying the former (the simple drop off) could take 20 minutes. I get you now. Perhaps, but lots of us found/find out about it.....there are signs allover the roadways leading to the terminals directing people to it....and it is well described on...
