Exactly after the feasibility studies, they will probably say it’s too expensive and there are cheaper alternatives which can do the same job.

The only way this would even work was if it was tolled. But instead of doing this why don’t they propose to work with the Feds to do a phase 2 of the HFR or high speed rail line with stops at Pearson, Kitchener, London, and Windsor.

I wonder how they build road tunnels in other places with all these issues you have listed.

Yes that’s what should have been done. At least the portion in downtown. Instead we put lipstick on a pig and kept that eyesore up.

It seems we are backwards here at times. What is wrong with Air Canada joining the bid? Why must there be some ulterior motive? Aren't airlines partnering with high speed trains all the time in Europe and no one bats an eye to it.

The province should be advocating for a phase 2 of this kind going through Pearson, Kitchener, London, and Windsor.

Plus their demographics are different. Brampton seems more like a working class suburb with a large international student population who don’t own cars and are willing to use transit. The cities in York Region are more of upper middle class white collar job types who drive. I doubt you’re...

It’s not just Metrolinx. It’s Toronto and Ontario as a whole. I would even extend it to all of Canada excluding maybe Quebec.

That’s because we allow it. There are many places around the world where their lrt or trams aren’t stopping at red lights.

I was just in Granada, Spain and I observed with their tram as soon before it even approaches the intersection or roundabout, all the cars had to wait for it to cross. Priority was always given to the tram over the cars. It was pretty neat. Knowing Toronto I doubt the surface section of the...

No overhead, must be a batteries.

I’m in Spain on holidays and in Sevilla they have their tram on the surface besides unesco listed cathedrals and other heritage buildings and it works fine. We have Patrick Brown wanting to bury this LRT through downtown Brampton which is nothing special. If they can build the tram in Seville...

Toronto can learn a lot from Montreal. In many ways it feels like it's a bigger city. We need to go learn from them how to build public spaces. Is it even to build something like the Quartier des spectacles in Toronto ? It's impossible.

I think the last picture is Renforth station.

isn’t that other bridge the down close to east harbour station ? There are two different bridges.

Are Oakville, Burlington, and Hamilton transit included in this ?

Did she say it’s estimated to be completed by 2041? Is that a mistake or what ?

Can’t they make front between university/York and bay a no car zone ?
