We may see some changes to sidewalk plowing this year, the city is tendering for a new 7 year winter maintenance contract that is to begin next fall. So far, the RFQs for arterial/collector/expressway road salting/plowing and snow removal have been issued and closed. The RFQs for local road...

Cliff Road and Britannia Road are another two examples in Mississauga. Relative to the size of the city, I think Mississauga takes the cake when it comes to missing links in the road network. No thanks to the airport, the 403/410-401 interchange and of course, the area of Mississauga Road...

I'm not quite sure why Bloor/Aukland was done the way it was. The turn from Dundas to Islington makes perfect sense. With all the Mississauga buses making the right turn there, the asphalt had developed quite the pronounced rut on the outside of the turn, fortunately concrete is immune to...

A concrete base, yes. In fact most major roads in Toronto feature a concrete base, but feature two or three lifts of asphalt for the surface course. This has been the norm for a few decades now, nothing new. Mississauga and Brampton on the other hand just use a virgin aggregate mix as the base...

You completely missed my first point, you're using two very poor images as your basis to compare the two very long and diverse corridors. Burnhamthorpe, like Dundas and Eglinton both have 4 lane and 6 lane portions. In fact, the city decided against widening the Hurontario-Dixie portion...

Both of your examples are pretty poor choices, along with using a single photo to showcase/compare 20 KM corridors. Mississauga isn't very nice east of Dixie, no matter how far north or south you go. The City has done a good job with the Burnhamthorpe corridor, it features a dedicated...

Perhaps a new thread is in order as phase 2 of the North Building project inches closer to reality. Now known as North2, the funding proposal was brought to the province in the fall. More info here: http://www.utm.utoronto.ca/main-news/update-utm-north-building-redevelopment-plans My...

I find a lot more people are transfering between the 5 and 51 to/from the 107/109 than before the transitway opened. Despite the increase in service during rush hours, I've noticed that the 107 and 109 still have pretty heavy loads (standing loads) in their peak direction during rush hours...

There were maps passed around of possible GO Transit routes along the transitway back before they started construction. I believe the maps are still available online on the City's transitway page. GO Transit buses will serve Winston Churchill, Erin Mills, Square One, Dixie, Renforth and Kipling.

http://www.my410.ca/sitepages/projectbackground.html Good find Coruscanti, it basically tells us everything that is going to be done with this project, including what's being constructed in the next year. All the work going on along the sides of the highway has to do with storm water management...

The 67 million dollar design-build contract was awarded today by IO to Sheridan Creative Partnership, a consortium consisting of Bondfield Construction Company, Moriyama & Teshima Architects, Montgomery Sisam Architects and Rocklynn Capital. Details can be found here...

Come November 17th, the 107 and 109 will be running 6 days a week. 107 will run from 5AM to 11PM, every 11-14 minutes during rush hours, every 15 minutes during the midday and every 20 in the evening. Service is provided to Humber save for early morning trips. 109 will run from 4:30AM to...

The project he is referring to is complete. There's 3 separate (well now 2) projects going on on the Gardiner. You have the rehabilitation of the bridges over the Humber, scheduled for completion this coming February, being performed by Soncin Construction. Then you had the median construction...

The bus terminal is undergoing structural rehabilitation, works being performed by Hansa Restoration.

The contract for the construction hasn't been awarded yet, the tender for it just closed two weeks ago. Construction will likely begin 3-4 weeks after award, which should come in the next couple weeks. Dufferin Construction was the low bidder, at 66 million, the second lowest bid came from...

I think you're right on this one. I found on the Region's website that it is being rebuilt and resurfaced and is supposed to reopen in 6 weeks. I can't find any tender regarding this work. Con-Drain, who built this section of road, who is also doing this work doesn't bid on road rehabilitations...

The 427 extension was tendered by the Region and in the purchasing report published by the Region there is no mention of outside funding sources relating to the project. In other words, the Region payed for it. Although to be fair, at the time, I doubt the Region knew they would be tearing it up...

The only tidbit I could find about it was off Wikipedia, saying that RR 99 (427 north of 7) is to be bypassed and removed as a result of the 427 extension. Although; I am searching from my iPhone and that might be why my search isn't coming up with much. With that being said, considering the...

Construction is gearing up on the 427 widening as well, Dufferin has their signs up now and a slew of ramp closures begin on the 22nd of August and September 2nd. Also, I can't find any information about this one and it has nothing to do with the widening going on south of the 407, but the...
