honestly i see the on ramp is reconfigured. they should add an off ramp too. pull some more vehicles off lakeshore

I love your ideas for connecting Ontario. bravo. I wish the government would focus on these instead of the 413 or enlarging existing highways to 24 lanes. Keep up the excellent work.

Well an example of what I mean would be the prince edward / bloor viaduct. Most people would know what I am referring too, and would be able to picture it in their head. It is an iconic bridge that was top engineering at the time. Versus don mill overpass. No one know what I'm talking about, as...

honestly i think the upgrade would cost up to 200 million more on a 11 billion dollar project. Yes its more but this value engineering iconic structures is an Ontario thing. I have travelled around Canada and Europe and they put an effort where building, at least adding some colour and making a...

I feel like a structure similar to the Ulla Estuary viaduct in Spain would be more inspiring (coloured steel not toronto grey), have a low pier count, and preform better in wind. As it would use a steel structure instead of the concrete wall that is proposed.

Well, I feel like they could have used faux or real stone/ concrete designed piers with black steel arches. Similar to the bloor viaduct with longer arches. It would compliment the bloor bridge and look very nice. It's not an issue with modern engineering just a lack of vision and toronto's...

One can only dream of a unified national highway signage in canada.

honestly they should just build a bi-directional cycle track with a 4 meter width. It would be a better use of the limited space, as you could consolidate the buffers space into one.

sorry, how are the on street bike gutters, protected? The paint wont do much with the cyclist between the vehicles and a concrete wall. Easily could have had the bike lane on the other side of the concrete wall with pedestrians, but seems Halton region is 20 years behind Toronto.

Yes, but the Pickering reactors are smaller than the ones at Darlington or Bruce. The Pickering Block A reactor each had around 500Mw of power production. The ones in Darlington produce 878 Mw. That's why the refurbishment was initially cancelled. The Pickering reactors were to small to justify...

Id say just build new ones. They are so old they are shutdown now.

where did you find the station renderings. I curious to see the other stations as well

There you go. That's the interchange plan. I was looking at it today as I though underpinning the station met it would be shallower, but its not.

SO i would agree, but once the Ontario line is extended west. Odds are high there would be a station there, which is why i would rather save that name for the future. Roncesvalles is not near the current station. The street ends just before, and them "heart" of the neighbourhood is further south.

They have an opportunity to rename and unify both stations. TTC and metrolinx should just name it West Bend station or Junction triangle station. Both of the neighborhoods are adjacent to the rail corridor. Naming stations after neighbors/land marks is the best way moving forward as the amount...

MTO can always update a standards to have rural highway and urban highway standards. Land is expensive and having 14 meters on either side sit vacant is fine in a rural context. In a city it's a waste of resources and potential tax revenue. Build it an people will buy as has been seen with all...

Yes they should 100%. Something smiliar to the Morriston bypass design. 2 lanes in both directions with concrete medium. Access roads on the side and grade separate. MTO has to stop with the either they build a super highway with a 100m ROW or nothing at all.

anyone notice that the Slow painted on the pavement is facing people travelling up the hill. I think that was a mistake as it makes way more sense to have the Slow marking for people travelling downhill.

Just bringing forward the renderings. Also, I like everything, but I wish they added sound barriers to the bridge, so the noise from traffic wouldn't carry very far through the ravine. I used to live by the rouge river and the noise would travel from the 401 to lake Ontario. The same sound...

Raised crosswalks and intersections are great but not for thru routes. They are used on local or service routes. Each is a tool in the tool box, which are is most effective when used properly. Raised crosswalks on thru routes will created unnecessary congestion thinking roads such as dundas or...
