I don't see the London public supporting Presto.

London's mayor wants to make London's bus fleet the first all-electric network in Canada. Might take 10 or more years. There are hopes that provincial/federal money London left on the table from cancelled BRT routes might help cover this. Over $100 million of funding up for grabs was left out...

This website covers building the missing flyovers at Highway 8 and 401, as well as replacing the Grand River Bridge as that's needed for the Highway 8 connectors. https://hwy401grandriverbridges.ca/ The 2009 plan...

The high speed rail project died as soon as Douggie won a majority. This announcement should surprise no one.

If interested, study regarding the widening of 401 to 6 lanes from Tilbury to London, with the addition of a concrete median https://highway401tilburytolondon.ca/?fbclid=IwAR2ru54KPrE2VLNc5z6LNCRiNWpkSFxcQBm022kqgqe9MqUxejhZIc64xtM Construction to start in 2021... maybe it will be done by the...

Ya that and a Highway 3 upgrade is part of my crazy fantasy plan ? (Back on page 3 https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/roads-fantasy-proposals.25983/page-3#post-1144934)

If the E.C. Row Expressway ever ran all the way to connect with the 401, that could be the new Ambassador Bridge/Tunnel route. Good for anyone wanting to access Downtown Windsor & Detroit. Traffic wanting to bypass these cities would simply continue along the 401 to the new Gordie Howe Bridge...

For the People. Hope all these plans / studies done don't go to waste. The project could be resurrected if the next provincial government wants to reverse the cancellation. At least Hamilton still gets 1 Billion for transportation projects. If this happened in London (or anywhere outside...

Huh, I didn't know that. Guess that's a decent deal for any drivers with a transponder. Good call by the province to avoid that charge on their section. If 407 ETR waived this as well, I wonder how many more transponders they would sell. For any non-Toronto area resident or transponder-less...

I wonder just how much traffic will use the new 418 ramps (418 NB - 407 EB, 407 WB - 418 SB). There are only 2 interchanges between the 418 and 35/115. Seems expensive to enter the 407 from either of these or the 35/115 to access the 401 rather than just using the 35/115 itself. Entrance fee /...

Replies to some points brought up: Credit River bridge is part of a separate contract. I doubt this will start until the spring, and would just be preliminary work until the widening east of the Credit River is done. The 401 between highway 8 and 24 has an extra-wide shoulder right now. When...

Greater Toronto is growing pretty quickly and I think we need massive expansions to both highways and transit to address the capacity gaps we have now and what's forecasted. Ah, maybe you're right. My perspective being on the outside looking in is different on this forum. I just can't imagine...

Surely building this is better than doing nothing. If you build it, they will come. Where are they coming from? The overloaded 401. Using this bypass coming from London / KW, I could avoid Mississauga & Toronto entirely including the snarls at 403/410, 427 and 400 interchanges to get to...

London, Ontario doesn't have any local highways but is still sprawling in the north- the furthest area away from the 401/402 I don't think GTA West will make much sprawl directly- especially if it is tolled. It will be a bypass for people from London / KW bypassing Greater Toronto to access the...

From the 401 widening thread- found a PDF for phase 2 of ION: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/roads-highway-401-widening-highway-8-to-highway-410-mto-u-c-planned.10054/page-65 ----- I was reviewing Phase 2 plans for Waterloo Region's ION LRT and I noticed it runs along King Street...

I was reviewing Phase 2 plans for Waterloo Region's ION LRT and I noticed it runs along King Street between Highway 8 and 401 I also see the proposed flyovers missing from the 8/401 interchange in the plans. Probably part of a separate project? That area of King is already a mess- would be even...

One's an extension, the other is a whole new highway. However, the PCs might fast-track it to get shovels in the ground by the next provincial election campaign. Speaking of the PCs, I've really missed the MTO future highway projects PDFs. These used to be released yearly until the Libs got...

Hey, at least Windsor and K/W have freeways. As a Londoner, very jealous of the major cities around us that got them while London got screwed (although this was mostly London's fault). Same goes for Kitchener's LRT... we shot ourselves in the foot for a similar project. London pays for the...

Province approved the 3/5 legs. Waiting on the feds now which may come before or after the Oct election https://lfpress.com/news/local-news/watered-down-brt-several-other-projects-get-103m-in-ontario-funding
