    Intercity Bus Services

    Flixbus’s Sudbury-Toronto and Owen Sound-Toronto routes also stop at Barrie and Pearson. ONTC’S buses from Sudbury and North Bay all stop at Highway 407 Station now, and offers through ticketing to GO (including the Route 40 bus).

    GTHA Regional Transit Amalgamation Discussion: Superlinx/Subway Upload

    Brampton 2055 Bovaird Drive West | ?m | ?s | GIL

    Hospital/Institutional? The province loves building new greenfield hospitals on huge sites with plenty of room for surface parking and long-term expansion. Only in Toronto (and occasionally Hamilton and Peel) will it support intensification of existing sites. That site is too small for the...

    Toronto 1837 Bayview Avenue | 90.7m | 25s | Gupta | Arcadis

    All that’s fair. Sure, it’s unethical, and yeah, Gupta is garbage. I miss the early days of Easton Group.

    Toronto 1837 Bayview Avenue | 90.7m | 25s | Gupta | Arcadis

    Leaside residents are “shocked” that Gupta got an additional three storeys at Committee of Adjustment after supposedly coming to a deal for 22 storeys. While it does seem sneaky for Gupta to get around the original approval at CoA – especially when the local council seat is vacant, I can’t...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    No, it’s still not technically Highway 11. Internally, it’s designated as Highway 400A.

    I've long thought of that interchange as the Crown Hill interchange, even if that more accurately describes the 11/93 interchange

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Partly because that land was reserved and formerly lay between the Town of Brampton and Chinguacousy Township before amalgamation. It was the route of least resistance. Highway 427 is similar as it follows the old Indian Line alignment between Airport/Dixon Road and Finch.

    Orangeville-Brampton Railway (OBRY)

    Of course! And yeah, it will need a lot of reengineering in sections to avoid slow and swampy sections in Peterborough, Hastings, and Frontenac Counties and probably a bypass around Tweed.

    Orangeville-Brampton Railway (OBRY)

    Occasionally as transit lines (Los Angeles’ E/Expo Line is an example), but not as general traffic railways. The one that might return is the Lackawanna Cutoff in New Jersey if the NYC-Scranton train gets built, but that’s only a proposal.

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    Yep. BT’s issue was having enough operators and buses, rather than having enough money to meet demand. It’s nice to see them implementing improvements as soon as they’re able to do so.

    Orangeville-Brampton Railway (OBRY)

    July 13. The signals are now unlit. The diamonds remain next to the former crossing.

    Hudson's Bay Company

    Even Sears Canada in its late-era decline after 2010 didn’t close stores early in the evening, turn off escalators and elevators, and shut stores down over HVAC issues. HBC is rotten, and at this point, it’s hard to see it recovering at all.
