Using a TBM for BRT seems absurd to me. Go LRT or full subway if you're doing that. If you were you should be tunneling through all of downtown/Richmond Row- at least from Oxford Street to York Street where the Via Rail station is makes the most sense (via Richmond & Clarence Streets)...

I assume yes since they're trying again with this route? Running the north leg up Richmond would have lost a lane for sure, and that was extremely disliked by pretty much everyone. Richmond also has a rail level crossing near Oxford Street where super long, slow freight trains block the road...

The north leg won't happen unless the BRT can run on it's own lane. The old Wharncliffe plan had it running in mixed traffic on it's way to downtown. Western Road was recently widened to 4 lanes, so people either need to accept losing that new lane to the bus, or widen again which would need a...

Thanks for the pics- can see just how wide the new bridges are- we got the foundation for the missing Highway 8 flyovers in place now. Still need to build the actual flyovers, however. Looking at the MTO's website, this isn't even planned as a upcoming expansion anymore. I recall it was there...

So what? People are people. I think that's irrelevant to this project. If the 413 does get built, a new freeway connecting it to where the new Highway 7 freeway between Kitchener and Highway 6 in Guelph could be considered. This would create an alternate route to the 401- and the network could...

Flew into Toronto Pearson, caught the 403/410 meeting the 401 nearby.

Makes sense to me, any widening north of this would likely be in scope of the 413 project, should it happen. No sense doing work here if there's a major reconfiguration needed as part of that build. Any date proposed when this might begin? Seems needed now with the way Brampton has been growing.

2A or 2B. Don't care, just dew it.

Because people don't want to transfer from a subway to a LRT on the 'same' line. They've started with a subway, so while it not make the most financial sense, it's the most logical sense to continue the subway line to avoid confusion and the inconvenience of changing trains that will deter...

Just keep the Sheppard subway TBMs churning east past McCowan. Could keep going to Meadowvale as indicated, or perhaps even further east to the 401 terminating at the Pickering GO station. If you wanna change the suburban hellscape, this is a way to do that. If you kept boring west past...

Ya this stretch needs a aux lane between Highway 6 and Lincoln at minimum. Would be even better if they 6-laned it plus a full aux lane. For that proposed ramp, that's nice and all, but I'm sure in the meeting they're goona get asked where's the mirrored connection? If you have Mohawk to 403...

Just one more carriageway, bro (I know it's a rehab, not an expansion, but couldn't resist)

The highly anticipated action blockbuster, "Speed 3: Full Throttle," is set to film pivotal scenes on the Gordie Howe International Bridge before its final segment closes. The bridge, which connects Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, has become a landmark of modern engineering and an...

For the streetcar argument- can you not make more of the network more like LRT? Spadina has dedicated lanes for streetcars, You could do that for other 4 lane roads by keeping the cars off the rails. That will let them move in traffic. To make the Gardiner construction less of a headache you...

True with the exception of the Trans Canada. Highway 1 should stay Highway 1 throughout the entire country and use the same shield. In Ontario, #17 & #417 should just use this shield and be referred to as the Trans Canada / TCH only.

I do hope the 413/427 interchange is designed with northern expansion in mind. I think they sit the bed with the 407/412 interchange as drivers need to get off the 412 at Highway 7 and find a route to get back to the 12 or another route northbound. Things got even worse when the tolls were taken...

Well at least a few stretches are 110 now.

You'd be surprised how much politics can accelerate (or defer) projects. There a lot more ridings in the GTA suburbs/exurbs than in Waterloo Region. In 2022, Kitchener Centre and Waterloo went NDP, Guelph went Green. If the PCs thought they had a shot at flipping these ridings, they would have...

As limits increase, the amount over you speed both numerically and percentage wise drops. People do 30 over in 100km/h sections because 100 just feels too damm slow. If you raised that to say 120, far far fewer drivers are going to do 30 over because 120 feels more like the right speed. Fuel...
