    Brampton Transit/Zum

    The Argo On-Demand service begins today. Requires an app, with a service area centred around Downtown Brampton and the GO station. It might be useful for a few residents such as those living along the Route 8 corridor (Centre Street, Peel Village) that have low service frequency and no direct...

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    The schematic shows the third track on the south side, with the current south side planform becoming an island platform. The construction of that third track is what requires the new terminal and partial closure of Railroad Street.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    It's very TTC-like if they were operating it like a 500-series streetcar.

    Service note: Fifteen fully accessible trains will operate during weekday morning and afternoon rush hours, with service every six and a half minutes. At all other times, including weekends, trains will arrive approximately every 10 to 12 minutes. Following the recommendations of the Ottawa...

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    The go-forward option appears to be closest to the old Option 2d: I like the layout, though it requires a long loop for most buses, exiting over at Mill Street (previous plans had it going only to Elizabeth Street), though it appears to be set up well for 501 Queen Zum, which gets a quick...

    Brampton 507 Balmoral Drive | 152.17m | 45s | Pulis Investments Group | Onespace

    The GTAA put in an objection to the 45 storey height, as it turned out.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    The time improvements will be limited to the area around the 400 interchange, and the approaches to Keele Station and to Humber College; otherwise I don’t see it being any faster than the bus it replaces. But these small sections alone hopefully will result in an improved operation.

    Hamilton TD Coliseum Renovations | ?m | 4s | OVG | BBB

    At least Coliseum is still in the name. Rogers should have kept the Dome name from SkyDome, but they didn’t want people calling it “The Dome.” They forced people to say “Rogers” by adding the very generic “Centre” to it.

    Is that Sherway Gardens?

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Was this at Mount Joy Station? That’s the only one I can think of where the roadway and the station are so close like that.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Yeah, anymore whinging about Dundas or Ryerson will be deleted. Not in the name of “political correctness” but in the name of staying on topic and not resurrecting tired debates.

    TTC: Other Items (catch all)

    Though I cling to several old names – SkyDome, Hurontario LRT – because they are unique and I have issues with what and how they got their new names, I’m not going to miss the name Dundas Station. The new name is fine. Dundas Street is still there in the signage. Be thankful Cadillac Fairview...
