New details on the new highway 7 between Guelph and Kitchener. There's a video here: http://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=475829&binId=1.1147261&playlistPageNum=1#475829 Summary: - They've finished expropriating all the land they need and take possession of it in January - The total land...

The 404 extension is set to open tomorrow (Sept 17): http://www.yorkregion.com/news-story/4863078-hwy-404-extension-opens-tomorrow-transportation-ministry/

This is totally off topic, but if you travel much at all to the US you should look into Nexus. I recently traveled there and pre-clearance + security took about 5 minutes. The normal line looked like it had a few hundred people in it. Here's the link...

Interesting on construction of a bridge over the GO tracks in Kitchener: http://www.570news.com/2014/07/02/politics-stalling-reconstruction-of-margaret-avenue-bridge/ Delaying construction, I'm assuming that they need to know whether it will be double tracked or not

Here's a report by Metrolinx on Regional Express Rail: http://www.metrolinx.com/en/docs/pdf/board_agenda/20140626/20140626_BoardMtg_Regional_Express_Rail_EN.pdf

Looks like the new Highway 7 won't actually start in 2015. Pushed back to 2016/2017 - what a shocker http://www.therecord.com/news-story/4441506-highway-7-expansion-won-t-start-until-2016-leaked-document-suggests/

Unfortunately it sounds like she's not announcing a time frame. You have to think there's a lot of work on the tracks that need to be done before this is realistic. Edit: I've been proven wrong, she's said by 2016.

Premier Wynne is in Waterloo right now and is apparently announcing all-day two-way service between Waterloo and Toronto as per a CTV news reporter's tweet: @MarcVenemaCTV Premier Wynne about to announce two-way, all-day GO train service between Waterloo Region and Toronto

That's correct. But the thought was if the budget gets tight, do they do some at grade interchanges. I say either do it fully, or don't do it

Please no. If they're going to do it, they need to do it. Otherwise just upgrade the current highway 7. The at grade changes for the Hanlon were supposed to be temporary, but that clearly didn't work out.

Here's an update for the widening: http://www.therecord.com/news-story/4309713-401-widening-looms-for-cambridge-kitchener-stretch/ Looks like they're saying target completion of 2016

Looks like the province is acquiring land in anticipation of the new highway 7: http://www.therecord.com/news-story/4225527-property-acquisition-for-new-highway-7-underway/

Here are some photos from the Laird Interchange on Highway 6. There's still some work to be done but there's a single lane open each way, as well as all of the off/on ramps The first two photos are northbound and the third is southbound

Looks like GRT in Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge has decided against using the PRESTO system: http://www.therecord.com/news-story/4206661-region-won-t-share-metrolinx-electronic-fare-system/

The new interchange at Laird Rd on the Hanlon Expressway (Highway 6) in Guelph was opened to traffic today. Here's some information on it...

There's also a gap on Lakeshore West, heading eastbound from Aldershot. On weekdays a train leaves at 4:36pm (getting to Union at 5:41) and then not again until 5:31pm (getting to Union at 6:41). That's the gap that I was most looking forward to filling, as for a 7 o'clock hcokey/baseball game...

I would probably agree, but the question is how long until those happen? The only reason Laird is getting done is because of the development of the Hanlon Business Park and the fact that the city contributed $16 million to the project. I would guess those other interchanges are still quite a few...
