Mississauga Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

We can only hope this will be the case. Hopefully Miway won't impose overbearing safety precautions onto their LRT operations in a similar fashion as the TTC has to their LRT and streetcar operations. Purposely slowing down through intersections, approaching stations/ stops at a slow speed, etc.

Miway won’t be involved in any of the LRT operations, it’s entirely with with P3 consortium for the Hurontario LRT. I hope that this enables better decision-making unburdened by public sector malaise.

Gonna have to wait for the snow to melt and the winds to calm down before I can get more aerial shots, but there are now lane markings on the newly paved section closest to Hurontario / Steeles. I haven't gone too far back to investigate, but it seems that with the new lane markings, they may be one step closer to shifting traffic over for construction of the guideway from Ray Lawson / Hurontario to the Hurontario/Steeles section.

This may also coincide with why they haven't opened the new section over the 407 yet. I believe what they want to do is shift over traffic all at once to the new surface so they have less vehicles interrupting the work in the guideway corridor. The weather doesn't look very forgiving this week so it may be next spring until I'm able to get better photos. Winds are a little too high for my comfort.

Update #2 since I was coming from York MIlls back to Brampton.

1. The new NB lanes over the 407 are open.
2. .Topflight/Hurontario is completed.
3. Guideways from Topflight/Hurontario NB/SB to the 407 intersection have been dug up. Intersections remain untouched until they're ready for it.
4. From what I can see, around 90% of the new NB lanes from 407 / Hurontario up to Steeles / Hurontario have been paved over with lane markings added. SB hasn't been touched, and I'm beginning to wonder if it's just an additional lane as opposed to another two to three lanes.
5. Traction power substation near the superior court has been moved into place.

That's all for now. I'm hoping the snow melts sometime soon so I can get better photos of everything.

Edit #1:

Track rework from January 7th to February 11th for the intersection of Hurontario / Prologis & Hurontario / Annagem.
Vehicles needing to get to Kateson will have to take Capston to Kateson. Vehicles needing to go to Edwards will need to use World to Edwards.

Some accidental captures on one of my Cooksville area flights yesterday.

Also, it sounds like one of those Blue power station thingys will be installed tomorrow night and into Tuesday across from Port Credit Go station on the east side, north of the railway tracks. As I was leaving work yesterday morning someone was stuffing a flyer in the mailbox.

Here is the location. I didn't realize that I captured the base on my December 21st photo posted a few pages back.

It's going to be verrrrry interesting to see how this line operates compared to the Finch LRT, since they are nearly identical in design and the major X-factor is who is operating the line (TTC vs. private operator Transdev)

A huge difference is stop spacing, which is on average every 600-650 m on Finch W, and every 850 m on Hurontario. So we'll see how big a difference that makes....in a couple year lol.

Line	Approx. Length	Stops	Average Stop Spacing
5 Eglinton	~19 km	25	~500–850 m*
6 Finch West	~10.3 km	18	~600–650 m
10 Hurontario	~18 km	19	~850 m

One comment: an average (assuming a mean) should not be expressed as a range

Thank you. I have two cats, one overweight at 9 kg, another underweight at 5 kgs. But my household's average cat is a healthy 7 kg.
