Feasible idea but I don't think it or anything else will happen. I took a look backward, and I predicted in 2020 and 2023 that nothing beyond a sidewalk is going to link the parts of Doug Ford's imploding Ontariorgasm fever dream, and I believe they announced last year or so that the "last...

The Finch line has exactly one curve of any importance, and the rigs don't have any serious trouble with straightish track. The performance problems are in the meatware, not the hardware, I think.

If we all just start calling it Catherine O'Hara Square, will the city perhaps change it to that? I refuse even to type the S word.

That curve is not technically "too tight" for the vehicles as they are designed. It's a lot tighter than any of the curves in Ottawa's line 1, but there are several curves with a similar radius in the MSF and presumably they go through it every day. The problem is with the horribly...

Is it just me, or does it look a lot like the Cheapening of what ever U of T is pretending to be planning to build where the Planetarium is. Centre for Fizzleizations?

I also recall that when the Harbourfront line opened, many joked that LRT meant Loud Rattling Tram :)

I'm having this issue in Vietnam. Access on my phone is fine, but my laptop is blocked. They are on the same network. Very curious. Monkeying with various wifi settings seems to be able to fix it, but not necessarily permanently. Seems kind of voodoo.

Recently I found an old slide deck from the aughts positing a 35-minute trip from Jane to Kennedy. Evidently they thought they were building something completely other than what finally happened.

Like this: I made this crude knock-up 12 years ago and I believe it's posted somewhere in this endless thread. I was not listened to as usual :)

Kind of have to raise a caveat here. Platform screen doors have been costed out at a million dollars a door to retrofit lines 1 and 2 I think. One struggles to see how each 6 metres of sliding door costs 3 times as much as a Rolls of the same length, but I was shouted down when I questioned...

Perhaps, given the name, at least 1% of the materials could have been, you know, blue.

There is no real need to widen the bridge in the future. It's already five tracks wide. With the OL on the rail embankment, there is no practical to put in more than four tracks for GO, VIA and ALTO. So yes, as others have pointed out, GO is in the process of building a bottleneck just as...

Correct. Connections to YUL would be useful to people in both Ottawa and Quebec city. Connections to Pearson via HSR are less obvious. Peterborough yes, but people in Ottawa, I can assure you, don't want a multi-billion dollar system to get them to Pearson. They want a multi-billion dollar...

Yes, the existing tunnel to the platforms could be extended, but VIA controls access to it. You could extend it to the eastbound LRT platform and put a fare gate there, but as I noted, riders arriving from the east or going downtown would still need to go up and down again somewhere or other...

There are a number of white bar signals in Ottawa, used for transit priority/queue jump situations. There's one at Albert and Lyon to allow buses on a one-way street to pull away from the curb beside the LRT station and make it into the left-turn lane to another one-way street. Using the bar...
