So you also see these routes as no more important to a bus? Yes, they have replacement buses when the subway is shut down too. The point is that it we don't give priority to the streetcar or during construction don't seek ways to keep the streetcar running, we shouldn't get streetcars.

I never noticed that bump out on the Gardiner at exhibition before. Was there originally a bus stop and stairs here? I wonder why this exists here and only here.

The rule no longer exists and many interstates and tollways now connect, but Breezewood remains unavoidable because the economic interests of the community prevent changes that would improve the journey for many. Sault Ste Marie is the reason a better route does not exist.

The inspiration was actually Europe where in France and the UK blue signs denote the most important routes, green the next level down, and white the local routes and destinations. The freeway symbol used in the sign is the international symbol not seen in the US, and the red crown was...

The only reason it isn't the primary route traffic takes is because it hasn't been upgraded to provincial standards and designated a highway. It has been something many politicians and agencies have asked for but obviously if more traffic takes that route because it is more desirable, less...

The other numbering assignment toyed with was numbering based on importance to the network (population served) with 1 being the TCH, but while that is a fairly common practice and has far greater symbolism, it is not as important from a route guidance perspective.

No, the numbering isn't attached to the Quebec system, they were using two digit Autoroute numbers on freeways that barely cross a metro area (the numbers should be reserved for long distances between communities) and there would be no numbers left for the rest of Canada arranged from 1 on the...

Not random. Taking a system that hasn't evolved and has become useless in terms of providing guidance and creating routes that have purpose. More and more there are highways that end in the middle of nowhere because ownership changed, or that were at one time the fastest/shortest route...

The thing I find disappointing about this is how streetcar routes closing for long periods is somehow deemed acceptable. Nobody can imagine closing a subway that long or a freeway that long, but a streetcar... for some reason the city thinks that is completely acceptable. Why isn't it like...

None? Ontario Highway 800 - Google Search

69 - The North American Highway from Mexico to Canada connecting to the GTA. 85 - The fastest north south route All the routes are about the shortest routes across large distances. Route 50 is 2262km from Winnipeg to Montreal vs ON17's 2370km, 100km shorter without any improvements to...

Quebec has a fleur-de-lis on these route signs. Ontario does not.

All of these highways below are part of the National Highway System but only some are part of the Trans-Canada Highway system, and for most there is only really only true Trans-Canada Highway (BC1-AB1-SK1-MB1-ON17-QC40-QC25-QC20-QC85-NB2-NS104-NS105-NF1).

Yes, the highway is both TCH 16 (signed as such), and the Yellowhead highway currently (signed as such in BC) Yellowhead Highway .

McDonald-Cartier Freeway Trans Canada Highway

There is no real big benefit to tearing down the Gardiner. The city is connecting to the waterfront under the Gardiner from a pedestrian realm perspective and with the hybrid option for the rebuild of the Gardiner will allow the Keating Channel Precinct to reach its potential. Congestion and...

One and a quarter? Funding within 3-4 years, 7-9 years of construction... unless Waterfront Toronto moves ahead without Union (i.e. Cherry underpass) in which case it could be sooner. The slow part will be the city owned part.

Note that: Fashion District is defined by the area bound by Front, Bathurst, Queen, and Blue Jay Way. For a long time there were many clothiers around Wellington including a sock factory right across from Clarence Square. Connections to the rail corridor were key to that industry at the...

The half job we have now is clearly the result of finding the minimum viable product. They determined how to spend the least amount of money and found the solution that only used paint, signs, and stoplights adjustments, but nothing truly permanent. Unfortunately, unlike many European old town...
