The proposal at the time was to take Malton, the AVRO lands and the part of Toronto-Gore (or the Gore of Toronto as it was once called) that is was in Toronto Township into Metro-Toronto. So that means everything east of Airport road to Steeles, plus the village of Malton at the north west...

Drum118, Some very good points and this was the type of answer I was looking for. First some background. Malton was almagameted to Toronto Township (which eventually became Mississauga) in 1951, however the citizens of Malton preferred to be part of what eventually became Etobicoke. The reason...

You forgot to mention that Malton has a GO Transit line with 25 min service to Union, as well as Mississauga's only VIA stop. Malton also, has pretty good bicycle connection to Toronto and acceptable connections to Mississauga (out of rush hour and weekends anyway). Of course we must mention...

I don't have the numbers to discuss specific routes but I think you're correct on that count. However, that arguement could be said for most routes in Mississauga and for public transit as a whole and I'm sure that could be said about driving on the roads as well. Yes everyone likes to shit upon...

Here is a question for everyone. First the background. I live in Malton, part of Mississauga. Many people in Mississauga are not even sure if Malton is part of Mississauga. We often feel like we are not part of the city and often identify ourselves as from Malton only, so much so that we speak...

Just to add my two cents: We in Malton refer to the whole area of Mississauga north and east of the airport as Malton, with the original village called Old Malton when spoken of to other Maltonians. The TTC's Malton 58 bus route has existed for much longer than Mississauga Transit with service...

One thing to remember about Downsview is that the airport was sold in the early '90s to DeHavilland (now part of Bombardier) for $1. Bombardier quite likes that it is the only user of the airport and wants to keep it that way. When I was stationed at CFB Toronto in the mid-90s the landing fees...

I'm going to say it's mid eighties. There is no Terminal 3 at the airport, Finch W. doesn't cross the Humber River at Islington yet and the 410 is built north of Derry Road (early eighties).

Sorry I'll figure out this image thing in time.

It looks like we have the same idea. I'm posting a quick map of what I envision. The Finch West LRT and Eglinton Crosstown link up at Pearson. The airport LINK train is unchanged and travels to the "off-site" parking. What is new is that another LRT that travels between the terminals and the...

Okay, just I thought I read a few postings ago about having the line swing south after Bramalea and tunnelled under the airport which would then by pass our fair town. Could we keep the name? After all a Malton train station has been around about 70 years longer than the airport. Or if we are...

Just one question, are you proposing that we in Malton lose our GO and VIA rail service? What have we done to deserve this?

I agree that he line should serve employment areas as well as residential areas but I don't like the loop. I imagine that sometime in the future the FWLRT and EglintonLRT will meet up at the airport (via Rexdale/Derry road and s along Airport road serving my town...oh please) and a loop would...

I know it's late but I would like to propose an amendment to the route of the FW lrt. My concern is the route around William Osler Hospital (Etobicoke General). Currently the route is to run the line from finch to hwy 27 south then west at Humber College Blvd., this places the nearest station to...

I wonder what would have happened to that small section of Parkdale that sat south of the railway tracks if it wasn't demolished to make way for the Gardner and Lakshore Blvd. Sitting right beside the lake and the exibition it would have made an excellent tourist area filled with shops and...

It's a pretty good montage, it had me convinced. Using my 20/20 hind sight I'll say that the shadows match-up pretty good on the aircraft and the buildings below, but to make that angle a chase plane would have to be flying through the CN Tower, and I might as well nit-pik and say that the jet...

The jet is a CF-104 Starfighter. If you look closely at Exibition place you'll see the Windshare turbine and a renovated Direct Energy Centre, as well, the golf course on Spadina was also a recent, albeit short-term, facility until the City Place condos were constructed. My best guess is that...

Ok fair enough. So because freight carriages are using the same rails then the platforms have to be sacrificed. I'll buy that reason for the suburban stations where we would see freight traffic, even though I've seen freight trains pass through stations at speed in Europe... but their carriages...

Just Wondering? Can anyone tell me why the GO train platforms are so low? I have been at quite a few train stations in Europe from large cities to small stops and most have platforms at the same height as the carriages' floor. From what I've seen most of the stops that are low height are in the...

I agree, while the 107 is quicker to the Viscount parking lots the ten minute lead time over the 7 is eaten up by walking to the peoplemover platform and waiting for the train(?). Perhaps the airport should relink the two reaiming sections of Silver Dart Dr. and use it as a bus route only.
