Seems the province is moving density targets to a requirement at MTSA's. Wonder if this will involve any changes to the SPA process in this areas.

Reviving Yonge & Cummer station will only happen with a significant ToD component that will put her at odds with the NIMBY block in her ward Otherwise the province will simply not be interested. She could MAYBE convince council to pay for it but I really doubt that happens, 300MM-400MM is no...

What is a "judicial" recount? Never heard that term before. Different than your standard recount? EDIT: More votes came in for Ward 5, Nunziata increases lead to 94 votes

Anti-austerity and pro-housing candidate Jamaal Myers issues a statement of condolences for Lai's family: The latest polls had the remaining votes 17% Jamaal and 25% for Jones, looks like it will be a close race decided by the Lai vote

This is still a big win

Requirement to be on a payment plan over a maximums of x months? We're gonna just be speculating for a week 🤷‍♀️

Gotchya I'm gonna assume it means developers who defer DC's can only be charged 1% per annum? Again we'll see on the 25th

Can anyone explain what this means?

I hope that the Ontario Line in Flemingdon and Thorncliffe brings new positive awareness to the idea of elevated transit but a) Toronto/Ontario is a stubborn place and b) this are currently underserved and underappreciated areas of East York/Eglinton so I'm afraid it might be out of side out of...

If they're stuck in the intersection and their light turns red certainly you could automatically ticket them?

Line 5 will be equipped with ATC from day one, with the trains being fully controlled remotely between Mount Dennis and Laird. The drivers will simply be watching for track obstructions and opening and closing the doors. Presumably this could be easily upgraded to allow for fully remote trains...

You can see in the article that the platforms will be shorter, look to be about 75m by my estimate as opposed to 100m elsewhere. Therefore the reduced cost. I think there's a definite argument to be made to employ a similar approach on the Ontario Line with longer trains short turning as...

Thought I'd bring this up in this thread, the contract for the stations builds has gone into procurement (RFQ) for the Langley SkyTrain extension. The average cost of a station will be 59.375MM$ I think this really highlights how important it is to build more elevated in the GTA, underground...

Seems there was a last minute update to Milton line service to go into effect Monday morning... See here They've restored the 7:31 and 5:25 departures from Milton and Union respectively. May be more (bus changes) but its too late for me to comb through the schedule.

I've thought about this as well. Going along the Kitchener line would certainly be great cost savings, but then you do miss so much of lower Jane. I know some on this forum are of the opinion that an LRT on Jane is physically/politically impossible as the RoW is so narrow you'd have to make it a...

Thought this might be of interest... It'll be interesting to see what the Tories decide to do 🤔

The disaster that was CDPQ's de l'est proposal has got me thinking tonight about the cross-section of aesthetics and engineering in the design of elevated rail. I ended up going down a rabbit hole about ladder track and I'm curious about the viability of elevating it. This is already viable at...

I think a Thornton road underpass would make a lot of sense with the Thornton's Corner station being built for the Bowmanville extension. Would also allow for DRT to operate a new bus on Thornton road, with a connection to Oshawa GO and Trent University's Durham campus at Thornton and King.

They likely want to attract students to their new facility at the Whitby campus. To give them some credit, they did recently add sidewalks that connect the campus to the intersection at Stellar & Thickson as apart of the opening of the new facility. Before you had to walk across a field to...
