Found it. Also like that on the 407. Thanks for pointing it out! Yes, these are surprisingly common, especially considering the downloading started to take place nearly 30 years ago. I can't remember where or if it's been replaced now, but for years there was one of the old style diagonal exit...

That would involve basically ripping out every single platform, so it would be a non starter. Plus, you would have to sever the line from the at-grade section. Line 5 should have really been "Ontario Line style" to begin with, but that ship sailed long ago and we have to deal with what was built.

I would also add the fact that the noise from an expressway is near constant, while a train might only go by every few minutes. Besides, if you are building the elevated rail on an already busy street, the cars will always contribute far more to the overall noise than the train will.

Hi UT! Long time lurker here. I've been working on a map of interesting things in the Ontario highway system, and I thought if there is any place to share it would be here. Feel free to check it out here (Google My Maps). Includes interesting/wrong signs, old alignments, and facts. I'm sure...
