Which is rather telling. None of that was covered under the Esplanade Tri-Partite Agreement. That land you illustrate was never ceded to the Dominion of Canada in exchange for the properties adjacent to the USRC, which remain as per: Grand Trunk Railway Co. v. City of Toronto - SCC Cases...

^ ORCA may have acquired something, but not the air rights or any material land claims.

It's based on intention, not accomplishment.

Very hard to find! Even finding mention of it, let alone detail isn't showing with Google searches. Not directly related, but indicative is this: How Bombardier Inc suppresses information about how much government funding it receives With the government considering a historically large...

This is the case of when it goes wrong. There are cases where it goes right. Just Googling to link an example, and even using a weak search tag series "where P3 projects have gone wrong" lots of hits return, including this one without even including "rail" in the search tags...the implication...

The term "P3" can be extremely misleading, just as a simpler term "mortgage" can be. I've raised this point months back in some of these strings, as its arrival was imminent. It's already here in a milder form (DBFOM) but now we're getting to 'less diluted' forms. It really needs a string of its...

That's a very good point touched on by some of the comments at the Globe article link *especially in lieu of it being debt financing, not a grant!* In effect, other than a degree of underwriting, it's not debt on the books. As a side note, conspicuously appearing in the "P3" constructs are...

Verster verbally done that a number of times before. It goes back to when DBFOM first came on the Metrolinx scene and Verster arrived. IIRC correctly it's in one or both of the Jonathan English interviews at this site. I've quoted him in this string and others. I want to see it in writing...

I'd *love* to ride the ION, had high hopes for it, but the rough-riding 200iX goes as fast as GO buses along that stretch of the 401 every time I've taken it from Charles Terminal (after alighting the GO 30 express from Bramalea. Unfortunately, there appears to still not be an option to connect...

"Back peddling"? You have some serious issues reading.

That's very nice. For some odd reason, the PM peak is not considered to last all day.

Here's what I wrote.

That's been stated for over a decade. Hundreds of times. I'm looking through the press release and other background info. I can't find any mention of your claim for the present. Could you supply a link or specific quote or reference? @innsertnamehere I cross posted. I mostly concur...

Yeah, timing is everything. Perhaps you haven't noticed that even as you wrote: Rush hour is slow almost everywhere.

I don't know what the proposed ION schedule is, but as circuitous as the #200 is/was, it zoomed along the 401 non-stop to get to Cambridge @ Regional #24. It would seem that the #200 would need to be retained for the fastest transit between major centres in the region, and the ION used for...

Street width...ostensibly. There's some festering sores there, to be certain. And for the regional road 24 route through Cambridge...that's their main drag. horrendous as it seems. ION was destined to be the product of accommodating wildly different demands. My thought looking at that route map...

That seems to be the most likely of the guesses. It would certainly appeal to the "Buck a Beer" crowd, not be costly in the big scheme of things, and keep alive the "Ontario Line Dream" to boot. To be fair, that station is a terribly designed piece of giant poo-poo. It's been an ongoing rebuild...
