Why does everyone think that the station or other heritage building have to be removed? When I look at the area (google aerial map) I see just west of the downtown area that the third track is south of the other two. To me I should think that railroad street and the properties that face onto it...

Good idea. I have some ideas for other buildings that can go as well... much of Mississauga and Brampton for example.;)

The maintenance facility is to be located between the 407 and the hydro lines just south of it and Kennedy to the east with a track to Hurontario running along TopFlight Dr. If Brampton doesn't want or can't decide about the LRT then swing it east at Derry to the Airport and Malton. Following...

At the intersections there are left and right turning lanes so ninetykman's comment is also partially correct.

Anyone know of plans for the old Boeing site at the NE corner of the airport?

The discussion at the time I posted the photo of Grenoble was about preserving the historical character of the downtown area. My intention by posting the photo was to demonstrate that even with overhead wires that the historical appearance of an area is not greatly affected. While not a good...

I don't think it would be a good idea to make all of the route a pedestrian-tram-cycle way but we should reduce the space given over to cars now. Here is another photo I dug up of the Grenoble tramway: This was a six lane road in Grenoble, the two middle lanes were removed to accommodate the...

A photo of one of my favourite cities, Grenoble. Tram (LRT) & Pedestrian Friendly & Overhead Wires & No Cars all in the historic centre.

Why don't you just eliminate cars from this equation and make dt Brampton pedestrian friendly?

Some questions: 1) Didn't the federal government get out of the airport business in the 90s? 2) Why should tax dollars be used to develop a GA airport for what is essentially a hobby, while not funding public transportation? 3) Is the Fed Gov only really developing Pickering Airport because it's...

So the areas around Pearson were zoned commercial/industrial decades after the airport was built and the village of Malton was there about a century before the airport? I came to Malton well after the airport was built and don't mind the airplanes at all. The most of the housing near the...

For a general standard of manufacture and safety you could look up these two standards: EN 14764:2005 and ISO 4210:1996. Both of these are almost identical since the ISO is based on the EN standard. The description of the EN 14764 standard is: "This European Standard specifies safety and...

From the HTA: Lights and reflectors on bicycles, etc. (17) When on a highway at any time from one-half hour before sunset to one-half hour after sunrise and at any other time when, due to insufficient light or unfavourable atmospheric conditions, persons and vehicles on the highway are not...

I drive a '02 SAAB, to meet the DRL requirements the headlight switch has been disabled so that the driving lights (head & tail) come on when the car is running, I think this to be the best solution. Much of the other functions in the car have been automated (xmsn, choke, cruise) why not the...

I not too concerned about getting the "average guy" on a bike to buy a set of lights, my concern right now is trying to get the "average guy" in his car to switch on his lights when driving at night. Maybe it just me but in the past few years I've seen more cyclists equipping their bikes with...

Shutters, Awnings and windows that could open... the original air conditioners. They might not be very practical in today's multi-story buildings, but I wonder as I sit in my two story suburban commercial building how much energy goes into cooling the inside of the building to the same...

I've also just notice that the Victoria homes have functional shutters! I thought they worked pretty well in France and that shutters were an idea that didn't cross the pond.

What an horrendous upgrade(?) to the house on the left! As well, it's too bad that the sun rooms and their supporting pillars didn't survive on the houses to the right. Any guesses why these houses were refaced?

My guess is that it may be part of the Toronto Suburban Electric Railway that went from Weston to Woodbridge.

Malton's first cemetery was/is located about 50 east of Bramalea Road, so if Malton was looking for the largest land grab, everything east of Bramalea Road could be argued for. I mentioned the Village of Malton to be specific that the proposal was just for the village proper and not for...
