The Burnhamthorpe intersection is not closing fully and the 26 (among other routes) will still be able to travel thoroughly at Hurontario. The only restrictions are on turning at the intersection. Currently service is operating as normal. Straight from the construction notice...

In fairness to Alvin Tedjo, he did propose investing $5 million to advance the city's cycling master plan forward from a long term-horizon to be implemented in 2026. However, the controversy surrounding the Bloor bike lanes (and to a lesser extent, the pilot on Aquitaine in Meadowvale) plus...

At last night's transit advisory committee meeting, staff provided a presentation outlining 2024 progress to date and proposed service improvements to be implemented in fall 2024 and beyond. The full presentation deck is available here. I will summarize some of the key points and then add some...

Not to drag the discussion further off topic, but drum118 has made these comments about the 110 on various forums over the years. I have objected to them in the past, and I will object here too. In doing so I will present MiWay automated passenger counter data from Fall 2023 (late...

Mississauga staff have a report on next week's Committee agenda about the subject as well. The TTC fare integration will cost MiWay about $7M in annual lost revenue with the province reimbursing, however the integrated fare will be available on Presto only. Staff plan to pilot the integration on...

Mississauga staff have drafted a report recommending endorsement of the interim design of the Dundas BRT in Cooksville, which is the segment between Camilla Road and Confederation Parkway. Due to the challenges around property acquisition, the preferred alignment in this segment opts against...

The 100 was a terrible use of resources when it was launched back in 2018, and it would be just as terrible if it was bought back. For context, in fall 2019 the 100 had approximately 1,600 weekday boardings. The 107 Malton Express and 109 Meadowvale Express had approximately 6,200 and 8,400...

There are medium-long term plans to have BRT running further west on Lakeshore. The reason only the small segment between East Ave and the city limits is being built currently is due to clauses within the federal infrastructure funding (ICIP) which requires projects to be complete by 2027 in...

I obtained MiWay's automated passenger counter (APC) data for the October 2022 service period (Late October-mid December) and used the data I already had from the October 2019 service period to do a deep analysis of MiWay ridership and demand changes pre-and post covid. All figures are based on...

The 165 buses are all replacement buses to replace 2003-2006 40' buses and the 2010 60' buses. There is no reduction because many of the 2003 buses were retired and replaced in 2018 and 2019. Further 16 40' buses will be replaced by 16 60' buses for a increase in capacity. On next week's General...

A quick walk through Mississauga’s Sheridan Centre in early December 2022. Even though the mall has received an exterior facelift of sorts and a rebranding to “Sherwood Village”, named after the nearby neighbourhood, it comes off as lipstick on a pig.
