The last stop on Port St was removed after the PICs. My thoughts on this go to the technical side. Those who were against the LRT didn't want it on Main. They want it turned onto Steeles Ave west or east. But the bus terminal is on the north side of Steeles and the corresponding LRT stop was...

I'm a firm believer in keeping the alignment as is & pushing further north. Also, as stated before, this isn't the beginning and ending for Brampton. The province has already stated a keen interest in another rapid transit corridor along Queen St. as well as 2 way all day Go trains up to Mount...

Here are some questions I have. Why are people so interested in rerouting the LRT past two correctional facilities (on McLaughlin) with no potential for land redevelopment? Or to pulverize a river valley so it can end at a hospital? Why not instead lobby to get it extended north on Main up to...

How about these things: - A network of LRTs crisscrossing the city & suburbs (Peel & York regions especially) - A subway from somewhere downtown to Don Mills & Eglinton E. - A network of surface commuter trains at 10-15 minute frequencies threading through the 905/416. Let's say 7 lines for now...

http://t.thestar.com/#/article/news/gta/2015/01/16/ttc-go-fare-pilot-project-launched-on-lakeshore-lines.html It's a 1 year fare integration experiment for TTC users between Exhibition & Danforth stations. Nothing to do with Smarttrack in terms of service but in terms of a fare integration...

Maybe this is a good time to have a proper analysis, business case, dollar amounts, whatever-we-need comparison between the subway & LRT plans. Get the facts, eliminate the confusion, and make a true informed decision

Oh yes I see that now. Relying on Google maps. Thanks to all for the clarification

Ok so we're talking a new basketweave. Would those logistics involve moving the Georgetown station platform to the north side as well? If I'm understanding things correctly?

An interesting perspective on this topic. $3 billion on 3 (or 4) subway stations or 30-40 LRT stops on the 3 lines crossing all of Scarborough... http://t.thestar.com/#/article/news/gta/2015/01/12/a_fourstop_scarborough_subway_misses_the_real_point_keenan.html

I'm not quite clear on the location. Is ML actually referring to the rail to rail crossing just west of Downtown Brampton Go or is there a rail to rail junction west of Mount Pleasant that I've never seen?

So that means we're looking at March or April 2015 I'm guessing? Long overdue.

I see youyour point but I don't mind seeing a little more enforcement to govern that. Even now there are folks out there myself included on rare occasions where I can find myself clocking in the 130s if I'm not watching my speedometer. I could live with 110 within city limits & 120 through rural...

I firmly believe the limit could and should go to 120. In clear to moderate traffic on any 400 series hwy, 120 is easily achievable. But I think in conjunction the authorities need to enforce the left lane a little better. Keep those slowpokes out of there. Actually, they could do a better job...

Or, TTC & province could step up with the phase II of the Eglinton Crosstown west from Mount Dennis to the airport, charging TTC fare obviously. A fast expensive ride or a slower, but still not unpleasant, cheaper, more local ride.

I believe the section of corridor west of the Humber Bridge through Islington & the 401 tunnel aren't going to be ready for 4 tracks next year. The south section of the Islington underpass needs to be dug out & the 401 tunnel needs to be expanded. As of last Thursday they were putting finishing...

Yes I understand that. But the point I was trying to make is that Go underestimated the numbers they thought they would see that night because a second train, or a first one, depending on your point of view, at about 1:30am would have been more than sufficient to the task. It could mean if their...

I've been begging for a schedule like the one proposed above for years! The only thing is that I would take the 6:30 trip from Union & make it a 23:00 or thereabouts for post events sporting & concerts etc. That being said, on a serious note: Is 29 total daily trips a hard cap for service...

Burying the LRT from Nanwood, say would not cost $10 million extra but more like $200-300 million or more extra as per the per km cost of subways in other nearby jurisdictions. Also, going underground is just as, if not more, disruptive as surface construction and even more time consuming...

The 505 should connect through Malton Go to the airport & potentially the busway terminal on Renforth. And the LRT on Main should run directly to Brampton Go. Connectivity, network & integrating multiple modes together and all that... A car driver at Steeles & Main wouldn't drive to McLaughlin...

Still, there should be something more than nothing. It's not like they're going to close it & reopen it again. Maybe an official ribbon cut or whatever when everything is done but even a public announcement wouldn't be out of place. Even something to warn people that the doors will be opening on...
