A note to all buyers - a 150 unit affordable housing project has been designated for the lands directly east of Brightwater II (the taller building). This was not disclosed to buyers by the builder. This may or may not be of concern to you, but you should be aware of it...

Does anyone know which GO bus routes will use the Transitway east of Square One? There might be some time savings by not using the 403 and the 401, but not much. Also, after Renforth Station at the east end there is no easy way to get on to the 401 eastbound or the 427 northbound. I'm thinking...

Does this mean we will see more Toronto Rockets on Line 2? I thought they were exclusively for Line 1 at least until the Line 2 signal upgrades.

Is there a site plan? I can't visualize where this will be. Thanks!

Station Box Construction - August 18, 2012 Hi, Here are a few pics from a cycling trip along the Spadina extension last Saturday the 18th. Downsview Park Station: Finch West Station: Steeles West Station: Highway 407 Station: Vaughan Centre Station...

I think one of the other reasons is that the tunnels will be built to handle LRT grades and turns only. These will be steeper and tighter than anything HRT can handle. Once this is built, there is likely no upgrading to HRT.

Second Trainset I can confirm that a second trainset is on the YUS as of August 5th. I rode the 5411-5416 southbound at Davisville around 6pm and saw another Toronto Rocket trainset heading north.

I'm about 500m away from the tracks in an apartment building by the Don Valley. You can hear the trains but it's really background noise - not annoying. However, I've been to places where you are within 25m away from a busy track. There, I felt vibration. The house shakes, furniture...

Lots! Hi, I live at the south end of these tracks at the Prince Edward Viaduct (Bloor/Danforth). There are freight, VIA and Ontario Northland trains. Also, GO runs trains deadheading in the early morning and evening. The 20 car long VIA train from the west coast comes through a few...

One of the options the TTC should be considering is a single bore tunnel instead of two tunnels. Line 9 in Barcelona is a single bore tunnel and almost equivalent to the Eglinton LRT route with respect to planning. Station platforms would be built within the bored tunnel structure. This is a...

I heard it circled over the 403 in Mississauga before landing over Dixie Road facing northeast. If that's the case, then the reverse runway was used - "06L".

Yes, completely grade separated. 2023 - 2033. So not anytime soon. When I heard this, I pointed out that the 407 Transitway Subway Station on the Spadina extension will be completed in 2016 approx. The consultant replied that there is no coordination with the TTC on this project, other...

I notice that there are bus only lanes in the Kingston/Morningside/Lawrence triangle. Also, there is a large bus platform east of Morningside in the centre of Kingston. That platform connects to the LRT platform via a pedestrian crossing in the middle of the Kingston/Morningside intersection...

Thanks Voltz! That triple platform at UTSC...do you mean 2 side platforms and 1 centre platform with 2 tracks OR 3 centre platforms with 4 tracks. Sounds like it will be a short turn location. Very interesting. Hope we get the Pan-Am games so this can be in place for 2015.

Meetings on May 20 & 21 Just wondering if anyone went to these meetings and if there is anything new to report?

Don Mills connection unveiled http://www.toronto.ca/involved/projects/sheppard_east_lrt/index.htm Timing is unsurprisingly coincidental.

Thank you, gentlemen! I wanna see this thing up close.

RedRocket, would you happen to know what route the double decker is on as it passes through Bramalea Station and if it is being exclusively used on that route (as opposed to being mixed in with the regular coaches)? TIA :)

I don't want to start a war, but then again, I hate being corrected when there is no need. Tunnels are different than cut-and-cover or box structures... http://stevemunro.ca/?p=780 The subway system is built in several different ways ranging from open cut running, convention box...

At the west end, it's two tunnels. At the east end, it's cut and cover construction, no?
