I thought we were going to use this to convert the Sheppard subway to LRT
The Primove system is an extra cost option. It could be used for either streetcars or light rail.
I think it could used should they convert the heavy rail subway tunnels to light rail on Sheppard, especially at the stations. In the tunnels, it could be third rail or stay with Primove.
We've chatted about that here, but no one official has ever mentioned implementing this technology ... which would likely not save much on a subway conversion, as the key issue is still rebuilding the platforms.I thought we were going to use this to convert the Sheppard subway to LRT

It's the the whole kit 'n caboodle.Isn't it more the escalators and the elevators? The platforms are all raised 'false' floors, aren't they?

In some cities, where they are converting from high to low platforms, they use both levels during the conversion process. Since the Sheppard station boxes are longer than the actual platform being used, that should make it easier.
Dang.
Interesting. Only problem is that TTC subway cars run on TTC gauge, while the LRTs will run on standard gauge. So running both at the same time wouldn't work unfortunately.

Perhaps they are not being "stupid" perhaps they are just, in their minds, protecting what they have/are trying to create in DT Brampton and the proponents of the line have done a lousy job explaining the impact of the wires on that.
I was driving down Hurontario St. today in downtown Mississauga and noticed the city is planting trees in the median on Hurontario Street. Like they're trying to give the street a grand "Boulevard" look.
Why would Mississauga do this if they're hoping to begin construction on the LRT in a couple years? Wouldn't the median on Hurontario St. be torn up and replaced with the LRT tracks?
Seems like wasted effort and money to plant the trees if they're just going to be torn down in a couple years.
