    Waterloo Region Transit Developments (ION LRT, new terminal, GRT buses)

    Do you have any information on mode share? I didn't notice it in the article. It's interesting to compare it to other transit agencies which who have seen post-pandemic ridership grow quite slowly, likely due to an increase in people working from home who might otherwise be more likely to use...

    New Kitchener Hospital (Grand River Hospital/St. Mary's Hospital, ?, ?) (Kitchener)

    There is an express bus route from Borden Station along Ottawa Street that would get people to the Aud lands in a couple minutes, but it only runs every 30 minutes at the moment.

    Kitchener 417 King Street West | 179.25m | 55s | VanMar Developments | Kirkor Architects

    Considering it's not near any low-rise residential, Tek and One Victoria are right beside it, and there aren't many businesses affected (aside from Ziggy's et al who have already vacated the building), it's hard to imagine who would oppose it. I remember when Tek was announced, it was one going...

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    It seems to me that the connection to Bolton is lacking. I know it would be difficult and expensive to include an interchange at Hwy 50, but it seems like it would be worthwhile still (kind of like the Hwy 7 interchange on Hwy 400).

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    Eastbound express lanes were open this morning from James Snow to the 407. Backed up horribly though, as they all merge to a single lane before rejoining the collectors, which were running smoothly. Hopefully they are able to open up more lanes through the 407 interchange shortly, but for now...

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    It appears that the eastbound express lanes between James Snow and the 407 will be opening soon. Painting is done through the split east. The point where they merge together again still needs to be adjusted and repainted, but I expect that won't happen until the express lanes are actually opened.

    Waterloo Region Transit Developments (ION LRT, new terminal, GRT buses)

    Wouldn't that preclude having any railways in built-up areas?

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    That driveway is actually somewhat problematic already. It provides access to both a parking lot for a very busy mountain bike area (the Hydrocut) as well as a local gravel pit and there has already been an accident with a gravel truck and VIA train at that crossing. It would probably warrant a...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    With the colder weather, GRT will require you to push the button starting Nov. 1.

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    Westbound 401 through Cambridge was shifted over to the new lanes on the right under Hespeler Rd a few days ago. Although this means that one of the Hespeler ramps now merges instead of continuing as a new lane, it seems that the overall configuration flows a bit better for now. Meanwhile, this...

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    Do you know if it's supposed to be a full interchange? They seem really far along on the south side, but as I recall, there's no sign of corresponding work on the north side.

    GO Transit Electrification (Metrolinx, Proposed)

    Metrolinx's business plan for 2WAD service to Kitchener doesn't require a flyover at Silver Junction, it is just beneficial to allow better schedule resiliency. Apparently Metrolinx is still investigating whether they can include the flyover under the existing funded improvements, but hasn't yet...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Is Metrolinx planning a station there? I thought it was only supposed to be a layover.

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    Province vs. municipality? Rules for thee, but not for me?

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    They recently blocked off the right side of the 401 eastbound between Townline Rd and Wellington Rd 32. Does anyone know what they are planning there? I had thought construction was only supposed to extend up to Townline.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Is there any news on that front? It seems that the 2WAD service past Bramalea is contingent on a full third track and periodic fourth passing tracks on the Halton Sub according to the 2021 Business Plan, but I haven't heard anything on that front while they seem to be otherwise progressing on...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    7 New is too useful as a reelection tool for governing parties to actual finish the project. I predict it will remain in-progress for another 50 years at least. I just find it unbelievable that voters actual fall for this continual bate-and-switch.

    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    They were flying before winter, and in the last two weeks, there have been signs of things starting to ramp up again. Hopefully they'll be back to their frantic pace we saw last year.

    Population of Toronto (Including Census Counts)

    You can look at the 2016 Census coverage report to get a sense of how it varied across the country. There are actually significant differences between various cities, so comparisons between cities aren't necessarily meaningful on their own. It's my understanding that the trends tend to be more...
