Was curious so looked it up, but this article said Georgia had 4M sq ft and growing as of August 2022. I knew they were a big player, but didn't realize how big compared to above.

In my previous life, when we built the TBMs for Eglinton, we advanced the first two (of four) to initially dig from Don Mills to Vic Park, as a part of Sheppard LRT, before being sent down to Eglinton. When that was canned, the machines sat finished in our shop for 1+ years until Eglinton was...

Here's the Weston-ite perspective. If they were to contemplate a frequent service along a second tack on the CP corridor, I think it would have to be grade separated. That would mean slotting it into the 4 tracks of the existing tunnel (with the necessary grade change, and with the scheduling...

I drew these options for the forum back in 2017, each a different take on how to integrate everything. The idea on the later options was to re-use the piers from the LINK, but upgrade to LRT. The last option also considers an LRT loop to allow trains to circle back on their route through the...

Question...will Castlefield be getting an underpass under the Barrie Line?

Agreed. I had only done that on a whim for a conversation related to an Olympic bid being a catalyst for further Port Lands development.

Timely new thread, as I stumbled on the TPL capital plan in the course of my regular work and saw our neighbourhood Weston library is due for a $10M upgrade 2024-2026, with planning ongoing. Our residents' association is going to see how we can get a peak into the planning. Weston is a...

Is the hollowing out of the red a result of empty nesters holding onto their single-family homes after the kids move away? Or larger families moving away and being replaced by smaller ones? Because it's not like housing is being torn down and not replaced.

Here's my contribution to kick-start the offshoot thread on fantasy stadiums...an older overlay I did of UK's London 2012 stadium on the Port Lands.

I think combining Ontario Line West with what had been planned with Jane LRT makes a lot of sense. I know Dufferin is a busy bus route, but I still think that OL should cross Line 2 further west. I've long thought that Lambton makes sense as an interchange for Jane/St. Clair/Milton GO, so I...

True ATC is active on parts of Line 1, but they will be getting to full ATC to enable the shorter headways. Probably not ATO though, at least not with current labor agreements. I suppose it is good to future proof it for ATO, but you'd need technology to be a few steps ahead of where it is now...

Sorry, to be more clear: The City's Eglinton Crosstown east is now being planned as not contiguous with the central Crosstown. My understanding was that Crosstown west would be an extension of the central Crosstown, therfore using the same vehicles with continuous service Airport <-> Kennedy...

The reference to automated trains seems strange, because I thought this is an extension of CrossTown, and I'm not sure its surface route could handle automated trains, is it, at least in the short term?

The immediate area once did have an elementary school, but the 401 East offramp now takes its place. Not a bad looking building. (credit images to the Weston Historical Society FB page)

If I'm not mistaken, REM de l'est in on pause because of the backlash against the proposed raised segment through the city.

Have we heard anything else on the airport terminals connection for Line 5? I think earlier this year there was an announcement of fed funding to continue design, but haven't heard a peep since.

I wonder whether they may end up trying to integrate into the SmartCentres redevelopment plans/construction, given that the first development application has now gone in for that site. The province could end up announcing an MZO that includes an integrated station.

2 weeks back I had a 10am client meeting in Guelph and I live at Weston...would've been great to have an earlier outbound train...instead I used a Zipcar to get there/back. I compared the traffic on the day...would have been identical time between car and train door-to-door.

Tunneling is just more complicated early civil works. And if you bundled it into the larger work, they'd still (generally) have a sub-contractor doing the tunneling. With all that knowledge, they can get moving earlier...particularly if they need a new TBM for it.

The parkland between this site and Eglinton will be gone. The newest crosstown west plans show Eglinton shifting through this ROW so that the station sits in the middle of the existing road, saving the NW woodlot. Starlight has done a nice job renovating their significant building stock not far...
