I think it is bad that Mississauga and Brampton still don't have an agreement on the LRT subsidies. The reason is because when Toronto Township was turned into the Town of Mississauga in 1968, it was only the unincorporated areas, and the towns of Streetsville and Port Credit were already...

In 1921, the Census recorded 4,527 people living in the Town of Brampton, this is around double what was recorded in Georgetown or Orangeville

Forced transfers aren't a bug, they are a feature at Mississauga City Centre. You can run below 5 minute headways with TSP, it just needs to be conditional TSP to get vehicles back on schedule.

This is intended to deliberately create a forced transfer at Square One, to discourage through traffic trips. This is much worse than a linear transfer at Steeles in Brampton. Any trip north of Square One heading south of Square One will be adversely impacted.

Coronation Boulevard was named such in 1937 to celebrate the Coronation of His Majesty King George VI. It was chosen because in 1937 it was the first dual carriage highway in Ontario. Canada, delivering 19th century streetcar speeds in newly built streetcars in the 21st century, how depressing...

The new Official Plan for Brampton includes a plan to raze downtown and then massively increase the density. The Loop will net worsen transit access along the Hurontario Line because it will result in Line 10 being split in two, and add a significant amount of time looping around Mississauga...

At the meeting, Sylvia referenced this from the 22 November 2023 meeting She pointed out the block to be demolished align almost perfectly with the station cavern, with the section being demolished and excavated supporting the mining and station construction.

I am glad Brampton Transit has now managed to start training 30 people at a time (confirmed as already happening by the GM of BT) . Just a few years ago they could only train a dozen at a time. They increased frequency to reduce headways.

The best solution is probably York Region contracting to Brampton Transit. Removing drop off and pick up restricts plus paying BT $0.50 per trip entirely within York Region would probably be a satisfactory solution for most York residents, as well as Brampton Transit, especially since BT is...

When would you project it to enter revenue service?

This is the Hurontario LRT Thread, not the Eglinton thread

Good news, this is the final version of the downtown Brampton MTSA, after a year of Sylvia fighting with them. Brown is High Density, the thick black line is the future grade separated crossing of the CN corridor via McMurchy. It wasn't the pandemic that killed downtown Brampton, it was...

Norfolk Virginia has a lower population than the City of Kitchener

The last true highway megaproject that Ontario could do, that is not an unholy abomination, is extending Highway 400 to Manitoba by twinning Highway 69

Notice that the last image has the blue car taking up almost the whole lane, of which there are only two. Compare to Google Streetview

The issue is unless we take away two lanes, we cannot widen the unpleasantly narrow sidewalks in Downtown Brampton Brampton wants to widen the sidewalks, this requires removing at least one, if not two lanes. The current issue is the nearest grade separated crossing of the CN Corridor west of...

The City of Brampton is not interested in meaningfully pedestrianizing downtown Brampton, Planning staff repeatedly objected to removing the two car lanes in downtown. The Ridership growth is heavily concentrated on the Chinguacousy and Dixie buses which have absurd growth, each growing by...

MiWay needs to make Derry a Zum equivalent, while they study a full BRT line

Over time increased diesel prices will drive a decent amount of freight off trucking and on to trains. In turn, the increased fuel costs for CN and CPKC will encourage them to start electrifying along their busiest routes, especially if the federal government offers low cost loans for that purpose

75-100k per weekday ride. They don't mention a number specifically, but they estimated needing to run a bus every 5 minutes if they didn't get the LRT, which would put it 50% ridership above the 501 Queen at peak.
