The brown transit girl has been lobbying intensively for the Kennedy Züm line to be built urgently. According to Brampton Transit for the Kennedy Züm line they are waiting on the Transportation Master Plan to be complete, which was started 15 months ago, is expected done in a year, and there is...

The developer has proposed one parking spot per unit, because that is what the government has legislated for the parking requirement for that area. The downtown-Queen Corridor, and Highway 10 & Steeles projects propose so much less parking because the municipal government doesn't set a minimum...

Queen, Steeles, and Bovaird in Brampton are each in the future going to get BRTs on them using lane conversion. This is an effective way to launder roads development charges for transit.

For Brampton Transit the issue is that BT's PM peak service ends at 7 pm and transitions to evening service, which is not very good, and that chart measure schedules until 8 pm.

There are a sufficiently large number of those people in transit planning and advocacy for that to be funny. Line 10 would make more, as a reference to Highway 10, and it makes sense if the line ever gets extended north. That will not be the hospital location, Brampton City Council has to date...

I may be mistaken, but I remember the Airport bus service into Caledon predating Caledon contracting with Brampton, I believe the Airport bus may actually be contracted by employers. There is unlikely to be a proper terminal at Gore Meadows Community Centre, the City recently voted to fund...

Brampton over the past 15 years has had excellent ridership growth, this term of council however has been consistently horrendous on improving transit. Even before the pandemic they cut back on increasing service hours, planning only 20k service hours for 2020, despite needing at minimum 50k...

No, I'm saying the only way it can proceed is via MZO, and it could not proceed through the standard zoning process. Bonusing is a thing explicitly banned in the Municipal Act to prevent cities throwing money at companies to attract them, which leads to destructive arms races of funding...

The Dixie Site cannot lawfully proceed without an MZO, it is in a Provincially Significant Employment Zone which cannot be converted to residential unless it is in a delineated MTSA area, and this site is not currently in a delineated MTSA, nor is there any intention for it to ever be in a...

Brown has a habit of saying things with a rather tenuous connection to the truth The Boulevard idea is a profligate waste of money based on progressive delusions. The most basic sanity check shows it to be madness. They wax about how the Boulevard will connect the community, the reality is it...

Context is missing on the paying industries, it has been looking like Orangeville desired to kill the railway for years, and the uncertainty made it near impossible to attract new industries. If Peel bought it and guaranteed industrial train access for two trains a day, that would have been...

Yes, there are a couple portions the City does not own, but it seems to be trying to acquire the rest. The City probably wants to own the NE block of Four Corners because once construction starts downtown, it may result in damage to foundations. I believe the report from last year shows they...

The Main Street Streetcar/Subway Extension has such an appalling business case, they won't even show the public.

That is a private group, what does it say for those not using Facebook?

I still have yet to see how these LRT proposals are better than Bus Rapid Transit like that being proposed on Queen, along the whole Highway 10 Rapid Transit corridor. The Main Street portion could be implemented quickly, easily, and cheaply with curb side bus lanes from Nanwood to Vodden, like...

Brampton Transit is not getting night service any time soon, they assessed the option as costing approximately $2 million with a fare box recovery of 10%. If we reverse engineer that, we get around 16k service hours for night service.

It would make more sense to simply do a Highway 10 BRT, it would be cheaper and easier. Along Highway 10 is better for redevelopment as it enables redevelopment of the Kingspoint Plaza, further on the plazas around Westervelt Corners at the intersection of Highways 7 & 10 (Bovaird and...

Metrolinx is delegating to Brampton's Committee of Council on Wednesday February 3rd, regarding the completion and approval of the Queen Street- Highway 7 BRT Their presentation is here https://pub-brampton.escribemeetings.com/filestream.ashx?DocumentId=15988 The presentation that Metrolinx...

Frequency was to be 5 minutes peak, and 7.5 minutes off peak, it is now expected to be 7.5 minutes peak, according to the 2020 Auditor General Report, see section 6.2 https://www.auditor.on.ca/en/content/annualreports/arreports/en20/20VFM_06metrolinxgov.pdf

That date is for the Preliminary Design Business Case.
