The Province recently posted the following (and see Link) re their mandated Oakville Midtown TOC (and the associated MZO orders) proposal that the Province has been trying to ram past any opposition. Once again, the town had developed a planning document for the area, which enhanced densities...

Yes I was, and I apologize for not being more specific. Although rail is making inroads there is much that could be done to be even more competitive, especially in a Toronto West to Montreal / Moncton corridor, as an example. There are larger shares of the freight moving along routes such as...

It would be interesting for a railway to model container shipments to compete with longhaul trucking routes, using an express service, and modern handling technologies to enhance last mile deliveries. So Toronto West to Montreal, Moncton for instance as an example. This could be done but the...

I am not sure any enforcement goes on with HOV. And to think of it, there does not seem to be enforcement of much in the way of driving laws on the 400 series highways. It is very rare to see any OPP, until you get to the eastern portions of the 401 (QC border through Cornwall and beyond) where...

Perhaps more of an X . One diagonal from Niagara or Branford/Hamilton through TO then onwards to Ottawa. The other from London, perhaps Windsor, through TO and reaching out past the GO lines to Kingston?

Caught this on CNN tonight. A Norwegian tunnel Project. Makes for interesting reading.. https://www.cnn.com/travel/norway-longest-deepest-underwater-tunnel-spc

I don’t know, the more I look at this, the more the negatives pile up, see the above posting. This project really exists in a vacuum, and until we understand how the much larger midtown ‘ debate’ finalizes, it’s really hard to see where or how this fits, if at all. But the ignoring of the GE...

In Montreal again for,business, but hoping to ride the REM again and catch up on the changes, As a further request, could someone forward the latest report on costing of the Third Link to Doug Ford….. And if the QC trip was two hours from Montreal, and ran multiple times per day, that train...

Ther There is a lot to take in with this plan. And whether we think the densities are appropriate or not, whether the design elements work or not, whether the supporting services exist or not, and whether we should be plunking down towers next to the QEW, the entire proposal must be, and will...

I do not disagree with any of the above. We currently own and lease and come nowhere to competing on size with mid western CDN outfits, not to mention the USA and some EU countries (Hungary, Romania etc) where, I believe, these farms are commonly owned by offshore interests (Dubai for...

Paul I'm in a bit of a hurry currently so I grabbed this, which is broad enough description, with several standardized assumptions, no negative implications, but really does not include stats of any sort. Stats are harder to come by, I think any farmers using higher levels of autonomous are...

Thank you (!?) for catching that spelling error. I need to proof read with my glasses on. Have you seen the autonomous snow plows/blowers? Same principle of operation as the lawn mowers. We have our fields mapped, so you set up the drill etc for the operation you want to perform and then...

Yes, within limits. You map your fields, add in parameters and almost any newer piece of moving equipment can be operated with minimal driver inputs. Beneficial when seeding for instance.but this is fully autonomous for a (in these demos) blowing activity. As to the ‘end of certain type of...

I know this is not transportation, but it is a ‘disruption’ to much of life as many farmers know it - hours spent in the cab of your Case, even if it is under gps control. This is a whole level of innovation beyond. There are many like efforts underway, so this is just one example. Coming soon...

Can’t believe the number of posters who are dissing on Sharbot Lake and its future! C’mon, this is about nation building!!

Had to stop by Home Depot the other day and took a small side trip to see where we stood. Looks like we are really just waiting on paving, although the. Brontë/Sye rift intersection needs finishing touches, and the connections portion to the west of these photos seems a bit further behind.

I was catching up on my reading and ran across the following in the Globe & Mail. I do not think it has been posted as yet to UT? The era of the shoebox condo is over. Here’s how Canada can build livable apartments...

Any thoughts as to how the election of Soraya Martinez Ferrada and Ensemble Montreal impact transit planning and operations within Montreal over the next several years?

I'll have to keep a better eye open. I cannot say I have seen them in Halton Region. Perhaps the prevalence of the blue box program.

I agree. I do not think there are any quick wins here. But somehow, someway the political outlook on funding, priorities needs to change. Here is another opportunity to push change.
