You've never heard of the ferocious Great Lakes Rock Shark? Anyways, I don't see any mention of anyone wanting the Line 1 to be extended beyond High Tech Road. Newmarket's mayor seems to be more concerned about northern York Region paying for a subway project if its residents don't know how it...

There's a long-vacant parcel of land at Holland Street and Professor Day Drive that would be perfect for a-

I'm hoping the new EA doesn't cut any corners. This would be a welcome infrastructure project to the area, but it needs to be done with care. If things are glossed over or rushed, then environmental groups have every right to demand we go back to square one.

The "Smart-" prefix is the ultimate marketing tool to make things look beneficial and impressive without describing anything.

A western extension of the Bradford Bypass, perhaps? ;) Going that further north, I don't think it makes any sense to put in even a 4-lane parkway. I suspect the demand for such a long bypass just isn't there,since almost everyone would be going end to end when a good freeway route is more than...

I love how the setbacks are proposed to be in unison with the building just south of it. If only the Remenyi proposal could follow suit.

This is my proposal for the use of mostly existing corridors in Caledon and environs to construct a new rail line to adequately serve the area, in the event of... *shudder* suburbanization. There are two branches: the western branch cuts north of the CP Intermodal yard, up through the northern...

We need to be distancing ourselves from the concept of "the economic beating heart" anyways. I was more pointing out that it's ridiculous to use the present tense here, as if the hottest place to be in the GTHA right now is The Home Depot. On the other hand, I agree with you that the idea that...

The heart of the GTHA!? He cannot be serious. I'd sooner call Square One the heart of the GTHA - at least that area actually is fairly centrally located and has 10+ storey buildings.

When you break up the yellowbelt.

Look at the other direction. Cummer is less than 1 km from Finch Station, while Clark is 3.45 km from Bridge as the crow flies. That's a much larger difference in distances than the 0.2 km that separates Cummer-Steeles and Clark-Steeles. The vast majority of people in the Clark Station area will...

I don't see the Ontario Line being cancelled at this point. There might be some things changed around, like maybe the routing west of Osgoode or the elevation of the Science Centre terminus, but I get the sense that as long as Metrolinx has jurisdiction over the project and not the TTC, the plan...

The company behind it seems eager to test it on the Orangeville-Brampton Railway, which I would honestly love to see. I don't see the point in laying down any new rail for such an infant and niche technology, though. Not yet.

To be clear, I believe the plan is for a 4-lane freeway that is designed to be upgraded to a 400-series 6-lane in the future... which would be fine if it wasn't so transparent what the long-term goal is. Is there anywhere that I can find the proposals for new or retrofitted arterials or...

Next election is going to be a battle of the mundane self-aggrandizing photo-ops between Del Duca and Ford, and the real loser will be democracy.

Why don't people use the 407, which already exists and serves as a bypass around the most congested parts of the 401? Because it's a tolled highway that people don't want to spend money on when the 401 is free. Any proposal to make a tolled freeway here is straight up insanity. It will not solve...

I chose College for local rapid transit because I think the GO relief tunnel would be best put underneath King Street for easy access to PATH.

I felt like going for something a little more long-term (and probably a little more "fantasy" as well). The west section of this route begins at Jane, to interchange with future rapid transit on Jane and an extension of the 512 St Clair. It follows Dundas eastwards to Bloor GO/Dundas West...

The only way Sheppard/McCowan would be a rational place for an interchange is if there were widespread changes to the built form and street grid of the area. I'm talking Finch West Station-style redevelopment at a minimum. I am very pessimistic that this will happen instead of a carbon copy of...

Metrolinx: "You're missing stations at Elgin Drive, Clarence Street, Woodbrook Drive..."
