The GO station name is being grounded with the Centre For Innovation and Rogers impending move there as an anchor tenant. I still think the worst name is an LRT line after Mississauga Transit Nimby Hazel McCallion running up to Brampton.

LOL at well known Bramalea Nimby Anthony Bakker complain on Reddit about scotiabank relocating to BCC to be a major obstacle for residents. For a guy every month for the past 5 years claims to be moving out of the area, he's doesn't sound like he's actually going anywhere hence his entrenchment...

Box offices are tanking and I feel there won't be a replacement in Vaughan. They closed a theatre in Brampton to become a Playdium and the remaining SilverCity is one of the most crowded in the GTA. Ethnic films out of Bollywood have been countering the drop in hollywood. Yonge & Empress is...

Recent drive along Hurontario on June 23 from Eglinton to Gateway

Zero issues, build it asap.

There are construction barriers deployed at where the footprint of a stop would lie South of Steeles when I checked 2 months ago. Maybe if breaking ground on this end delayed long enough they could pivot. I just wonder when the province is going to unveil details on the extension.

The plan will take like 30-40 years to look like that. BRT should be able to scale for much of that and it's easy to convert it to LRT with the dedicated lanes already in place.

This is dated in the world of politics. After 6 years and Ford getting 5 MPPs elected in Brampton, the province shortchanging of the city has more to do with their own incompetence than the mayor.

New Community Hub shown below in Orange across from TMU has been proposed by MTSA planning staff. They told me the Bus terminal should be staying where it is now, not moving towards Queen st. The Community Hub and park would be on top of the existing Freshco Grocery and parking lot. IMO could...

City Agrees that unlimited density belongs in this area.

Here is the MTSA plan for the area with Bramrose on the right. A new park and community hub would be proposed in this development with connections to the Peel Memorial hospital

There is a Massive MTSA Dump by the City week that shows the BRT stops and development nearby. Kennedy/Queen Bramalea City Centre Planning staff indicated that the Bus terminal at BCC is not planned to be moved to Queen street as originally thought for the Queen BRT. They're probably...

Here's the newest MTSA Plans for BCC, notice the unlimited Density around Queen/Dixie for the next 40 years, If BCC sells, there are retail fronts shown in the 3rd picture that would create a shopping district in the area (purple arrow) Laurelcrest to Norton Place should be getting an...

Some Design updates on Howden starting construction later this year. I talked to Parks & Rec staff, the current design is based off the original facility with some upgrades. They have included new fenced basketball courts which have been missing in the area and has quite a bit of demand...

Was there last summer too, nice city. Brown's main talking point is the self induced bottleneck of traffic on the surface as they removed 2 lanes to extend sidewalks in the Integrated Downtown Plan. His political agenda is to pacify the downtown groups of businesses and opposing residents from...

I talked to Brampton Transit staff during their public information sessions: There is a Hydrogen Bus Pilot in the works, challenge is sourcing the Hydrogen infrastructure. There is consideration of altering the 505C from Malton GO bus loop and continuing on straight to Airport. They are going...

Thanks for sharing the RFP, good to see these diagrams: Riverwalk portion mentioned is for phase 1, there's also phase 2 north of this and a phase 3. Brampton is the only GTA city with a Nimby old guard who control their own media outlet to get their interests back in power and slander...

For several years the Blue Jays and Argos shared the SkyDome and exhibition stadium together, would be the closest example I could think of with baseball and football.

I will never understand the attitude that nothing will be built on Queen when it's already happening right across Brampton and half a dozen new towers have been built already. Sure these fantasy towers may not resemble real life, but all of Queen is going to be intensified in the 2030's...

Heritage is fine, they expanded to 6 GTA locations with 3 in Brampton.
