Interesting. Could you go into a bit more detail about this? Why was Hydro One opposed to running the LRT in its corridor? And does this mean that transit under hydro corridors (a la GO-ALRT) is a non-starter elsewhere, or is this opposition specific to this alignment?

One problem I foresee with splitting into two lines arises from how the MCC loops for both lines will respectively travel in only one direction. Assuming the 2014 service pattern, with the northern line running one-way clockwise around MCC, trips coming from Brampton to the Square One GO...

This is great. Thanks for piecing this together. Is it alright if I repost this elsewhere? The Mississauga subreddit has more than a few people interested in this project.

Agreed. Another problem with the proposed service pattern is it forces trips to the SQ1 transit terminal coming in from the north to either walk from Robert Speck, transfer to a northbound train from Robert Speck, or loop around downtown. Feels like a downgrade from existing bus services. ETA...

This is from the June 2014 environmental project report. It's the only instance of a proposed service pattern for the loop that I've been able to find.

Looking at plans for the immediate context of the Walmart, it seems like the fine-grained street network is a named priority, but removing the Walmart and/or driving Kariya Gate north isn't. From the 2010 Downtown21 Master Plan: From the 2021 Downtown Core Local Area Plan: and From the...

If I wanted to understand Metrolinx, how it works and how it doesn't, where would be a good place to start? Illustrative examples or deep dives especially appreciated.

A few quick notes from answers to the questions. On prospective loop routing and service level - not in scope of project, in so many words On northward extension - not in scope of project On detailed site renders - go to our office or our pop-ups for renders; "we'll take that back" regarding...

It's on the bottom half of this page: https://www.metrolinx.com/en/projects-and-programs/hazel-mccallion-lrt/get-involved/open-house-june-15 Seems like an unnecessarily complex way to moderate the questions.

The top-ranked question on the Q&A so far is on whether all trains will run the loop. I think this is a great idea and should be heard at the open house.
