They want it to go up the Etobicoke Creek valley, which is a TRCA regulated floodplain, through the middle of the soccer fields and baseball diamond of Meadowland Park, through Centennial Park, adjacent to the back yards of the houses on Meadowland Drive, John Beck Cres., Haslemere Avenue, and...

The whole mandate of Metrolinx is to create a REGIONAL transit network. They don't care about local transit. To Metrolinx the connection to the GO system should be a priority because that is what will get cars off the highways.

I'm starting to notice a lot of American license plates on cars around the city, and not just the usual from NY and Michigan. I saw California, Texas and Colorado today.

Here's a crazy idea. Run the Gardiner straight into the DVP/Don Roadway and put a big European-style roundabout there. North leg to DVP, west leg to Gardiner, south leg to Don Roadway and east leg to a new road into Lever site.

Nope. The Welland International Flatwater Centre is about 25km south of St.Kitts, south of Welland, just north of Pt.Colborne. It is essentially at the other end of the Welland canal.

Humber and Don are going to be starting shortly too. It may be a four way race.

I remember hearing a report twenty or so years ago that said Ontario was the worst province or state in North America for tourists to find their way around in. That related mainly to highway signage and subsequently the Province has put up all those generic tourist directional signs, but it...

Design speed and posted speed are two different things. The posted speed is always significantly lower. The design speed assumes some people will be speeding in bad weather on bald tires in a dump truck. A curve with a design speed of 50kmph would likely be posted at 30kmph.

I feel the same way when I look out the GO train window at the QEW. Damn car drivers driving on a road I paid for.

If you go to the City's mapping web site: http://map.toronto.ca/maps/map.jsp?app=TorontoMaps_v2 , turn on the aerial background and zoom way into you home - the pink lines are the property lines. Not guaranteed to be 100% accurate, but most of the time it is very accurate.

I just hope this is a small part of a much larger plan and it will all make sense at the end of the day. My fear is they don't have an overall plan but felt they needed to do something - so they carved off the east end and then had to come up with something inexpensive to put there.

That 14m setback is standard across the whole province for new development beside all highways (2-lane and multi-lane). MTO has scaled back its manpower and can no longer review every development application individually, so they just say they need 14m to protect for any potential widening for...

From that: That's BS. The City of Brampton was intimately involved in the 2010 Master Plan for the Hurontario/Main LRT. I attended a public open house about it in the atrium of Brampton City Hall. City of Brampton staff were on hand to answer questions. A number of different alignments...

The 2013 Crosstown rendering of Caledonia station was an early design. It's dumb, but since the construction of the LRT and the construction of the GO station are two completely separate Metrolinx contracts the LRT contractors took the west side and GO contractors took the east side. The only...

Sounds like the City and TMAC have had a falling out and the City no longer wants to rent them space they've acquired under section 37. Urbancorp is caught in the middle, and Artscape, the City's now-preferred tenant is just waiting to see how things shake out. In the end it's going to come down...

Why? Cars have exclusive use of that space for 363 days of the year. For a couple of days of the year it can be turned over to other uses.

The comment was in response to the post above which stated that Bramptonians were generally against medium and high density infill development throughout their city. Since the Province requires a certain amount of infill development that infill development either needs to go in the core , or it...

Provincial law REQUIRES each GTA municipalities to have a certain amount of new development as infill development. With Brampton's massive greenfield growth it is seriously behind on its infill requirements. Brampton either needs to allow hundreds of new townhouses throughout the city . . . or...

I think you're missing the point of the argument. The point is the direct connection is an important link in the REGIONAL transportation network which affects the lives of thousands of people, which is why it's being paid for by the Province. You can't compare today's meager network with the...

I think people who are suggesting alternate routes for the Brampton section don't understand that the LRT is one link is a system-wide network. By linking the LRT directly and efficiently to the GO station it allows people living in Kitchener, Guelph and Georgetown to get to jobs in Brampton...
