You could only go in as far as the east end of Schumacher, because Highway 101 uses the ONR alignment through there. There’s no chance that 101 would be moved or narrowed to allow the track to be put back. And there’s a hourly local transit bus to Porcupine, it stops one block away from the...

It was strange seeing Niagara-on-the-Lake there, as GO cancelled Route 11 several years ago. Also the Science Centre Presto perk.

It’s pretty clear that Mobilinx has control of the entire right-of-way and will be responsible for restoring the roadway at the end of the project. Mississauga has pretty much nothing to do with it, and you can even tell by the new traffic signals being installed. All new City of Mississauga...

The 50th anniversary wrap isn’t bad! There really needs to be a few vintage pink BT buses ahead of its 50 year anniversary in 2026.

It’s going to be Josh Colle. Just watch. Going from bad to meh.

More revisions at the latest CoA meeting: The applicant and landowner have submitted a Minor Variance application for a revised high-density residential development proposal with the following key characteristics: • Residential development for two towers of 25 storeys (80 metres) including 12...

The best part about Breezewood is the nearby Ray’s Hill Tunnel, part of the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike. The best comparison to Breezewood in Ontario would be the RIRO sections of 35/115 and 11 that prevent a proper upgrade to 400-series standard that both routes merit.

There was a New York Central/Canadian Pacific station just north of Tecumseh Street; the building lasted through the mid 1980s and you can still see the platform in satellite images. There’s plenty of room to build a modern building with customs facilities. VIA/Amtrak would then either have to...

The holdout appears to be gone now. Now 55 and 58 stories. Planning issues include the third track at Brampton GO, protection for a future grade separation or intersection realignment at Mill Street and Railroad, as well as impacts on nearby heritage properties and the future development of...

Staff are recommending approval of a revised plan that adds one 45-storey apartment buildings, a 40-storey apartment building, a 14-storey apartment building, and a 6-storey apartment building. The 45-storey building will be 136.9m in height...

Quite a few frequency improvements starting June 24, so it looks like staffing is finally catching up. 501 on Sunday finally going from 30 to 20 minutes (though should be 15, as it was in 2010.) 501C will be permanently discontinued, however...

It was an interurban service, the Nipissing Central. There’s a bus today that still follows the route. Interestingly, the NC still exists as a paper company as the TN&O (now ONR) bought it to connect some of the mines, since the NC, unlike T&NO, had a federal charter, T&NO used it to open a line...

There are articulated buses in the Mississauga fleet. They’re often assigned to the 109, 110, 26, 61 and 66.

The Moss Park armoury is hardly a model neighbour for the community. Remember the time a few reservists there had their kicks by beating a homeless man to death?

For the Canada Post depot on Eastern Avenue, I’d move the Moss Park Armoury there, and then add the land to Moss Park itself to accommodate the growing population in the area, with maybe one point tower on 1/3 of the site. As for Brampton Armoury, it is actively used by the Lorne Scots...

It was a used bus. More artics are coming, but as far as I know, they are all going to be dedicated to Zum service.
