We can now have GO, the Northlander, the Eastlander, then maybe the Southwestlander.

Some really bad weavings include southbound Bayview extension at DVP ramps and eastbound Gardiner at Islington.

Bit of an aside, but if the 407 wasn't ETR, would the naming be better as follows for 403 and 413? (yes exit numbers would change, names are speculative, recognize 408 isn't in current 2051 horizon).

Although nothing is online, a community meeting revealed changes to the plan. Mostly a reorganization of the church-related auditorium and gym into a smaller portion of the podium and a new upper floor of the moved church. Video these screen grabs came from is here:

I think the progress of Alto raises this question too....with Air Canada a part of the consortium, the connection to Alto is almost assured, so it likely takes one of two forms: 1) Alto goes through Union to the airport - this brings up a whole bunch of corridor capacity questions (unless its...

I think all the new info that came out with the Council motion to make Old Weston / St. Clair an UP station (suggestion that UP will expand to 5 cars, that headways could come under 10 minutes) points to UP becoming an in-between GO-subway frequency/capacity surface line to the airport, giving...

Thanks. Although there have been comments out there about Ontario Line west someday going to the airport (maybe from politicians? line on MTO map?), Jane LRT was on Transit City for a reason, and I think the N/S connection along the majority of the underground Jane alignment would be more...

When Metrolinx did the press release saying that major schedule changes were coming to the Kitchener Line effective November 23 (link), it made me wonder if that would coincide with the Mount Dennis station opening, and therefore Line 5 opening. I guess that date is still possible even if this...

That's not true of the folks in fleet engineering. We're seeing pullback in lots of places, partly because of manufacturing capacity to deliver, but also the funding.

I think its been mentioned before, but the "Future Track" (top below) on the Park Lawn station supports the OL extension through there. Additionally, the underpass under the Gardiner for the rail corridor already has an un-used box for 2 tracks on the north side: My thinking is the line...

The 2025 TTC budget document (link) highlights the $3.6B Line 1 TMSF on a 2026-2035 time horizon (pg. 99 of the link), which is a significantly larger project than the storage tracks linked above. For comparison, the same doc puts the Line 2 western yard (Obico) at $3.1B.

I walk this twice a day in Weston. The Kitchener line is trenched under the bridge, but the CP mainline remains level.

My understanding the interim terminal is really a landside terminal that will service a number of remote stands that will take overflow during the major expansion to T1 (and eventual replacement of T3 post 2035). Accelerator also includes a number of systems upgrades across the airport, and...

Data centre is what has replaced the Lowes. It's almost closed in....pretty huge building with large transformers for all the juice required.

They tore down the buildings at the corner SE corner of Horner and Kipling, adjacent to Willowbrook. Anyone know if that's MX expanding, or other redevelopment?
