If we're going by the same naming conventions as the TYSSE then Bridge might be called Highway 407 East (🤮). I don't think that High Tech will change to Richmond Hill Centre because that's very similar to a GO station that already exists (although considering Metrolinx's previous decisions), and...

Is there any other jurisdiction in NA that calls their highways anything other than the generic "highway/route/S.R/P.R/I-xx" besides Ontario's King's Highways (I'm aware Manitoba calls them Provincial Trunk Routes but that's still very generic)? I find it an odd quirk of Ontario along with the...

48km seems pretty long distance to me

I wouldn't be opposed to a sunken freeway east of Jarvis. Something like A15 in Montreal and the 401 ext. in Windsor. It could be only two lanes in each direction below grade straddled by another 2-3 one way Lakeshore lanes on each side. Parts of it can decked either initially or later on if it...

The last thing downtown needs is another Highway 7 (looking at you VMC...)

*almost 6 lanes all the way up. Thornhill's historic district at Yonge/Centre would be a chokepoint with already relatively narrow sidewalks.

The only problem with removing Gardiner East is that it severs the connection to the DVP. I would replace the section east of Jarvis with a short tunnel with only 2 lanes in each direction (similar to Seattle's SR-99) coming back up on the east side of the don. Local traffic would be sent onto a...

Something like a downsized version of the Decarie in Mtl?

Off topic but since you mentioned that plan if any highway would be extended to Hwy 9 it'll probably be 410, I can't see the 427 ever making it past the 413.

There's a great video on youtube about this:

As much flaws as there is with the plan, it desperately needs to happen and we can't afford to keep pushing this back. This line has been proposed in some fashion or another for almost a century at this point. Again, it's really not ideal and I agree that there are flaws, but at this point we've...

If people are so concerned about 5 trees in the way of a modern metro line in the heart of one of the biggest metropolitan areas on the continent, then should they not be equally enraged and also be taking the same actions against the probably hundreds to thousands of trees (maybe even older...

Let me put it this way: There's no doubt that it's a thing and you would have to disagree with a lot of evidence to say that it's not. Whether we want that induced demand or not is the main argument. Believe it or not, there are some cases in which you might want induced demand weirdly enough as...

One of the theories behind the numbering of the 413 is that each bypass is 401+6 (407=401+6, 413=407+6). Perhaps 419 for the Toronto Bypass Bypass Bypass Bypass?

Why are the freeway-to-freeway interchanges so massive? They can easily be half the size.

I measured out some of the spacing in google maps, and for the most part it isn't so bad for surface RT. For underground, 400-600m spacing (not including platforms) is pretty close (Line 5 has closer to 800m spacing and probably also triple the density). To me it simply does not make sense for...

I'm pretty sure they already do for parking enforcement at the arrival/departure areas

It's doable, if you use Rose St a bit and meander Bayfield through the interchange on a temporary bridge. The old loop ramp can also be used temporarily

I always thought it was so they can minimize road closures as traffic can use the old bridge while the new one is built. Random guess but it might also be faster as work on the new bridge can start without the old one being demolished.

This could be a good area for a multi use trail (similar to hydro corridor trails in Toronto). Example
