Not exactly a fantasy map, but I tried to find out the minimum amount of construction to run all-day Milton GO service while reserving two tracks for CP's use at all times. Here's a summary of what would be required for half-hourly service: 33 km of new track (the whole corridor being just over...

According to this, they will be separating both subdivisions.

Outside of the mess at MCC, the LRT will run at subway speeds. 32 km/h average from Eglinton to Queen, that's faster than most of the B-D line.

The at-grade alignment already includes removing one of the left turn lanes, though there is space for two. For the scenario with the lanes north of the ROW, there would be space for dual lanes for SB-WB if the westbound bike lane was removed. For SB-EB it would be hard to squeeze in even one...

For the Leslie issue, if the portal location can't be changed, then another solution might be branching off the eastbound left turn right before the portal and having it beside the westbound lanes. That way the Leslie signal would only have one of the three phases conflicting with the LRT and...

Half hourly service would need a new siding in Aurora. You might be able to do hourly service from Union to Barrie South after Georgetown South is finished, provided the sidings at Bradford and York U still exist and the GTS track layout allows a meet between King and Lansdowne. Even then...

It's not hard to give streetcars green time when they need it. Only Toronto seems to have problems with things like detecting whether the doors are open or closed, or alerting the next signal down the line before a car has passed the previous one, or using two-stage pedestrian crossings for...

The only section where they plan to replace the lanes that the LRT will take up is south of the QEW. North of the 403 they're planning to add bike lanes.

USRC is the Union Station Rail Corridor.

There are still a couple in the old city. North Toronto sub at Osler Street and Bartlett Avenue, Galt-MacTier wye at Old Weston Road, Newmarket at Wallace Avenue. Might have missed some. The Redpath spur also has quite a few, but barely anything runs there.

October 2013: Square One to Dixie Mid-2014: 427 bus ramps Early 2015: W. Churchill to Erin Mills and Dixie to Renforth (temporary Renforth station) 2015/2016: Renforth Gateway station 2017 or later: Kipling terminal This being from the 2013 City budget, and some Council/GC reports I can't find now.

They might schedule most of the layover at the airport, so the first inbound train meet would happen just west of Etobicoke North. The ARL could then operate on a single track through that bottleneck.

I don't think this would do that much damage. Parallel to the service cut, the schedule will be re-done using IBus, so that a one-way trip is 6-7 minutes faster. So for Islington-Square One trips, the increased wait time and decreased travel time cancel each other out perfectly. Also, all-week...

I think what Doady's talking about is the TTC arbitrarily ending the 36B and 37A at Humberwood Loop, less than 2 km from Westwood, while Brampton has three routes continuing south to Westwood when they could just as easily end them at Steeles. (58B/D are essentially MT routes operated by the...

From the latest Budget Committee agenda.

Yay! (If they approve it, that is.) This would also mean one less argument Square One can use against bus lanes on Rathburn.

Maybe they're planning to cut the layovers at Aldershot/Oshawa to 9 minutes each so that only 9 trainsets are needed? That would take care of one of the three "missing" crews. And I would think that moving from split to straight shifts would naturally follow from levelling out peak and off-peak...

Plans for which routes will use the busway have been mentioned in a few planning documents. The plans have changed over time, for example, Mississauga briefly toyed with the possibility of shortening route 35 to Renforth but chose to keep it going to the subway. You can read more here...

If I'm not mistaken, one of the podiums (either this one or the one facing north) will be office space. Edit: it's the one on the north (PDC report)

The new routing for Matheson is now up on Google. With 10 minute frequencies on Eglinton I don't really see the need for the 87. A two-way 43, maybe with a few trips serving Creditview instead of Argentia, would do much more for the network. A couple of other interesting tidbits about the...
