Challenge accepted. I made the 401-400 a while ago: Full size https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/779/23269149944_398dc3de30_o.jpg It's still called that officially, just not signed anymore due to cost

Possibly double-digit B$'s There's an old proposal called Highway 448 that could take some strain off 401/DVP. More info on this thread: http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/unofficial-proposals-for-toronto-highway-expansions.20258/

True dat Plus if things were that serious, you'd see the other parties warm to high speed rail as well

Oh absolutely, if you have the money to build it and drivers have the patience to sit through years of construction and retrofits to configure the thing. Plus NIMBYs that will complain that the 4 level high monster would be urban blight. Could look something like this one in Houston, I-10 being...

True, but we're really skeptical of this actually happening. Just look at what happened for the 2014 election... The high speed rail promise just turned into a study. We as a country has been studying high speed rail since the 1960s with no firm plans or projects. I think we have a pretty good...

This is one of the reasons why I like minority governments. It keeps them on their toes as they have to be more accountable or face a possible election that could spell their demise. Would HSR fly under a minority government? Maybe, depending on who is in charge and who they are supported by...

High speed rail plans may yet again be a election ploy http://www.lfpress.com/2017/07/11/ontario-pc-leader-tries-to-turn-the-tables-on-the-provincial-liberals

I can't see Richmond elevated. There are multi story buildings right at the curb. https://www.google.ca/maps/@42.9940863,-81.2523992,3a,75y,181.4h,102.8t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sqw8yC77KhfhsCNjv-O6Qyg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

What the city, province, feds and railway companies have to do is get rid of the CP track through London's core. Either reroute it on the CN line or build a new line north or south of the city. If an incident like the Lac-Mégantic rail disaster happened in London, it would be 100x worse or...

Any updates? I believe there's a 2017 opening date for an extension to the 418, along with part of the 418. Maybe later on this year?

I'm reading this as 8+2HOV right? The first phase of a large project to push HOVs up to Barrie?

Wow that ramp looks steep, I wonder what the speed limit on it will be. Hope trucks have some good brakes, especially when it gets wet / icy!

Large article on the London Free Press today regarding the tunnel kill http://www.lfpress.com/2017/06/11/bus-rapid-transit-the-free-press-has-constructed-an-insiders-account-of-the-tense-weeks-during-which-londons-brt-tunnel-plan-collapsed In a nutshell the tunnel went from 90 million to 220...

The drive on the Gardiner without the York Bay Yonge exit. Seems like something's missing.

Maybe it will work with if we spray the toboggan with a lubricant like the sled from Christmas Vacation :p:p:p

Interesting read about Highway 7 north of Toronto. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2017/05/29/good-intentions-bad-design-make-hwy-7-a-jumble-of-contradictions-hume.html

Hey, I'm just a tourist who visits a few times a year so I doubt I have much sway here. I'm just an infrastructure nut who enjoys browsing this forum among several others. Road or transit-related, construction or demolition, I find it interesting and sometimes I have some ideas or stories to...

One of the reasons why LRT was ditched in London was because Western University said there would be vibrations during construction that could affect some sensitive equipment and whatnot. And maybe some from the trains themselves when operating. I thought... okay. Then I visited York University...

I drove through downtown on Saturday via the Gardiner EB to check out the water treatment plant for Doors Open. Backup for the Spadina exit stretched all the way to the Humber River split with Lake Shore. Having another exit will help disperse traffic. Heck the Gardiner really only needs to be...
