Not sure if it happened on schedule, but was driving Hurontario yesterday and can confirm the Paisley intersection is closed now.

Too bad no train service improvements to alleviate the crowded trains. I still strongly believe they need a train at 5:40 pm (17:40) train to alleviate the 5:25 and 5:55 trains. The 30 min gap at peak is crazy.

I don't have a seething hate for "King West", but it's very vague and I definitely prefer "King-Bathurst" because it tells you exactly where it is and there is no ambiguity. "Chinatown" is meh. It's not atrocious, but it's barely in Chinatown. Again, I prefer "Queen-Spadina" better for its...

These kind of comments remind me of TrekBBS where apparently anyone who likes a modern-era (i.e. Discovery & later) Star Trek show is a paid CBS plant. So for Urban Toronto, the equivalent is liking a condo building in Mississauga means you're being paid by the architect to say that.

I wish that too. Can you only imagine the NIMBYism if they had tried though? Anyway I'm trying to keep my mind open and hope that it is faster than Finch or Eglinton (at grade). But the fact that it is not run by the cities (and the fact that there's 2 cities involved, plus I guess the Region)...

They should do the Milton line. They're all packed.

Have you taken GO buses? Off-peak, they provide better service than any GO train. The 21 bus literally drops me off at Hurontario & Elm Dr, and my walk home is like 1 minute. The GO train doesn't give me that. And when I'm taking the 1:20 am or 2:20 am bus, it can be as fast as 30 min or less...

That wasn't what you said. You said the transit connectivity is bad, which isn't true. Even from a regional transit perspective, tons of GO buses pass through the Square One terminal to points all over the GTA, from the airport, to Union, to Hamilton, to Yorkdale. If you said there are no heavy...

I think MCC has the best transit connectivity in Mississauga. Where else would Mississauga put high density? From MCC, you can get on a bus to anywhere in Mississauga or a direct bus to Union. So I'm not sure what this whinging is about.

I actually don't mind it either. Kinda gives me office building vibes.

Vancouver has the SeaBus? Why can't we have this?

That on top of CN's stupidity.

Yeah I meant the part of Allen that becomes Dufferin further north. That little Dufferin could just be redesignated Old Dufferin. I'd rather make Dufferin continuous by taking over some of the Allen. Also, the other jog in Dufferin took a century to fix. Why are they wanting to create another one?

I hadn't even thought of rerouting Sheppard, but that would make sense. I think stitching back the road network back to what it should be would make ample sense. But instead they've gone for the monstrosity in the diagram you've posted. Why wouldn't they take the opportunity to fill out the road...

I would just extend Sheppard to end at Sheppard West station, and leave it at that. Actually since the runway is no longer active, has there been any discussion of completing Dufferin from just north of Wilson to Sheppard? I just noticed Dufferin is disjointed because of the former airport.

They put up 3 of these white poles between Fairview and Central Parkway. I assume this is part of the OCS / where the wires will get strung up. Took these yesterday but forgot to post until I was walking by again lol.

Was walking to Square One yesterday so just snapped a few.

King-Bathurst and Queen-Spadina are actually my favourite names of the bunch. They tell you exactly where the station is, and they'll never need to change.

Damnit I took a few pics on my walk today but just noticed that some of my shots duplicate yours, drum. Whatever, I'm posting them anyway lol.

Depends if you count trains only or trains + buses, because Milton definitely has off-peak bus service. And I realized Milton actually has better late night service than Lakeshore. I wasn't planning to be out too late last night, and I had taken Lakeshore, but I realized the last train back was...
