Crosstown TBM diameter was 256". TYSSE was 246", Sheppard subway was 232" I think. (I use inches because that's how we numbered our machines). From my recollection of the cross sections, ECLRT needed the extra 10" primarily for the catenary.

Because we already know we are getting almost-metro service on UP in the future (St. Clair / Old Weston station, 7.5 min headways, longer trains), I think it would likely be better to bend this west earlier to avoid duplicative service. After Dundas West, you could follow Dundas with a station...

Two things: 1) should we call this thread 'Old Ontario Science Centre' and 2) I know there's been discussion about Old City has as a City of Toronto Museum, but could you make this a Toronto Museum, relocate the Toronto Archives, and add in a Toronto Transit Museum (the larger open wing in the...

What about the portions of Lines 5 and 6 that go under Hydro One corridors? Line 5 crosses the Gatineau corridor near Vic Park, and Line 6 crosses the Humber-Pearson corridor by Weston rd.

I Is it right to assume they could still put a streetcar loop into the original Kipling station as was originally envisioned, with cross-platform connect to the buses? The best way to attack it might be to put a streetcar barn into the Purolator lands, and have the line come off the Kipling ROW...

The cutterhead as shown is dressed with a number of disc cutters (for scoring and breaking rock) and rippers (for scraping soft ground and fragments of rock). The material accumulates behind the cutterhead, filling the bottom of the cavity as the screw conveyor removes the material. The...

Reminder that the path with go all the way to the X. Not sure whether there was any preservation in 1 The Esplanade through the building to the east (orange), after the stairwell to the bridge.

Remember that the City prioritized all the expansion proposals in a February 2024 report (https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2024/ex/bgrd/backgroundfile-243162.pdf). From that table below, the highest performing LRT-or-above are 1) Line 6 (to Woodbine Racetrack GO), 2) Jane (Eglinton to York...

At Teston, it wouldn't take much to extend the 413 Transitway under the 400 and come down to the parking/hub you're talking about just south of the Walmart logistics centre.

We can now have GO, the Northlander, the Eastlander, then maybe the Southwestlander.

Some really bad weavings include southbound Bayview extension at DVP ramps and eastbound Gardiner at Islington.

Bit of an aside, but if the 407 wasn't ETR, would the naming be better as follows for 403 and 413? (yes exit numbers would change, names are speculative, recognize 408 isn't in current 2051 horizon).

Although nothing is online, a community meeting revealed changes to the plan. Mostly a reorganization of the church-related auditorium and gym into a smaller portion of the podium and a new upper floor of the moved church. Video these screen grabs came from is here:

I think the progress of Alto raises this question too....with Air Canada a part of the consortium, the connection to Alto is almost assured, so it likely takes one of two forms: 1) Alto goes through Union to the airport - this brings up a whole bunch of corridor capacity questions (unless its...

I think all the new info that came out with the Council motion to make Old Weston / St. Clair an UP station (suggestion that UP will expand to 5 cars, that headways could come under 10 minutes) points to UP becoming an in-between GO-subway frequency/capacity surface line to the airport, giving...
