Indeed GTAA held an Industry Forum on 4th December to provide information on their 10-year capital plan. Presentation is here. The layout of the T1 expansion seems to have returned to new piers:

Until the Ontario Line station opens at Exhibition anyways.

bollards!

Back when the GTA-West highway was targeted at moving vehicles between Guelph and Hwy 400 (2007 - 2010), the regions of Peel and Halton still needed a way to get the traffic from their expanded urban areas down to the 401 and commissioned HDR to produce the Halton Peel Boundary Area...

All three of the proposed new generation station sites have existing connections to Hydro One's transmission network. OPG Wesleyville in Port Hope (former oil-fired plant), connected to the 500kV network OPG Nanticoke in Haldimand County (former coal-fired plant), connected to the 500kV network...

^ Given that a streetcar in a dedicated RoW can transport folks to the St. Clair - Old Weston station (on the 15-minute or better Bramalea - Union stopping service) or to the frequent University subway line service, it seems unlikely that the time-saved benefits of another St Clair station will...

I'm not a fan of Siemens as a company - I've experienced the way they try to bully smaller companies - but they seem to be offering an established software product that's already used in a bunch of urban setting, and already has a smart phone native interface. Metrolinx may also have been...

Siemens was awarded a $2.3M contract to provide "a journey planning tool for Transit agencies" on 11-Oct-2024. I suspect that is related to this announcement about Triplinx. There's a web page for Siemens Mobility Journey Planning here. Look like it includes modes like bike rentals, which...

The southern edge of the combined Don-Wilson yard is likely marked by this electrical duct bank, referenced here. An issue with taking tracks out of the Don Yard is that the further south you go, the shorter the storage tracks become, due to the shallow angle of the yard entry track. With the...

Probably easier to walk through the North plaza (along the blue accessible route) to the Broadview East entrance, where there's an escalator, elevator and stairs to the platform: The internal route - with the red marks at the doors - will be staff only. That's an open-to-air electrical...

The East Harbour "Transit Hub" architectural drawings show a pedestrian circulation area and a small station building with stairs up to the 2 GO Rail platforms. No access to the Ontario Line platform because it's much shorter and centered over Broadview Ave.

Europe seems to realize that there'll need to be a shift to rail freight to meet environmental targets and improve road safety. There's an industry group pushing to increase rail's modal share from 18% in 2023 to 30% by 2030. https://www.railfreightforward.eu/ I couldn't find evidence that...

I'd forgotten about the initial tunneling contract; guess I wasn't following as closely back then. Kenaidan, part of Crosstown Transit Constructors consortium, with Obayashi Canada, Kenny Construction, and Technicore Underground has a reference page on the work, which they say included...

I've worked with electricity system control rooms where they don't change to daylight saving time to avoid two 02:00s occurring when clocks "go back" an hour. Do the railways also stay on Standard Time all year?

Agreed, it's absurd to blame a government of any political party for an engineering deficiency. Governments set policy and provide funds, they're not capable of designing or constructing anything. In Crosstown LRT's case the entire design and construction process was outsourced to a...

I believe going Eastbound automated train control would stop at Laird Station and the driver would manually operate from there to Kennedy Station. There are cross-overs either side of Laird, plus an "storage track" E of Laird where drivers can swap cabs...

It reads that way. And, that would need to be early in the schedule before King St is ripped up for the utility relocations.

Here's the formal pre-qualification for the first package of civil & utility works. The scope of work includes: The major components of the civil infrastructure scope for Package 1 include the following: • design, construction and commissioning of third-party infrastructure which will...
