Haha I think I want to get "6B by '33" on a t-shirt. The most obscure t-shirt ever, but still awesome.

Good interview with Grimes about the parklands in the area! Glad a trail system is under consideration, would love to see all the new developments connected. http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2011/12/interview-councillor-mark-grimes-talks-burgeoning-humber-bay

Presto machines are currently scheduled to be online Dec 19 as well, so that date makes sense.

I know the Big Move 2.0 is being released relatively soon - we'll see if its (Midtown Line) included in that document or if any additional information will be included.

Presto / Metrolinx people definitely read this. Its an extra window into card usage from a consumer perspective, I'm certain it helps determine which of these annoying issues with the card need need to be resolved sooner than later!

Probably a dumb question, but I assume the bridge will have enough space for 2 tracks?

Fourthed.

Where would the revised Park Lawn loop be? Towards Superior Ave? Or as far as the Royal York area? The area west of the Humber Bay is quickly becoming dense residential - having a large portion of 501 cars turn around at Humber Loop, directly before the condos, doesn't make a lot of sense moving...

Isnt there a connector running north/south just west of Kipling, coming out just west of the maintenance yards on the Oakville sub? I think trains would exit heading west though, so they would have to change direction to continue eastbound to the Ex.

The 501 streetcar and 145 bus are right around the corner for me, about a minute walk. They are generally too slow to get downtown to work though, so I end up walking to Mimico GO. Its a 15 minute walk but gets me to work in...way less time. I still take the 501 to and from the bars on weekends...

How many tracks are being put above that tall bridge over Black Creek Drive? Its just the one now, but the base of the bridge looks as though it was designed wider to accomodate expansion. Any info on this?

Is there any info/renderings of where the ARL line actually terminates at the Airport? I assume it would be somewhere near the existing people mover parkade?

Check out page 43 of this PDF - this is some initial info on the Dundas West mobility hub. http://www.reic.ca/chapters/toronto/documents/REIC-20101012.pdf

Does this tie into the renovations/upgrades to Mimico GO station in 2012? I assumed there would be some realignment to the tracks once work on this area was complete.

I think its been delayed for 6 months due to the construction.

Pretty sure the new stations on the spadina line/york extension are going to have presto machines too. I know its a couple years out, but worth noting.

The northbound/westbound VIA Canadian goes up the Georgetown Corridor through Brampton...thought Im not sure the proper name for that subdivision. Weston sub?

On that topic...the first route to feature the presto machines will be the 510, once the new streetcars arrive.

York will actually feature a new unique device, to accomodate the zone-fare system. Similar to the existing GO devices, but with more functionality & also acting as the balance checker.

On the subject of expanded parking, does anyone know of any plans to upgrade Mimico GO? I heard 2012 as well, but nothing concrete.
