And the legislation that tried to remove the lanes was struck down in the courts. At least so far. There still hasn't been a ruling on the appeal AFAIK.

Sounds like a reliable caretaker of Iran's enriched uranium to me. "We'll take the uranium back now" "What uranium?"

I don't know, I frequently see the HOV lanes experiencing the same traffic congestion as the other lanes off peak, including on weekends. Seems like opening them up to other traffic will just make that worse.

Premier carbrain strikes again. JFC. All Ontario drivers will be able to use HOV lanes in off-peak hours: transportation minister

True enough! And it's a lot easier for highways and conventional rail to follow each other because the speeds are a lot more compatible.

High speed rail lines do go next to highways quite often, but it's only for short distances because of the geometry issues others have mentioned. Highway curves are much sharper than on a high speed railway.

Does anyone know if the cycle tracks on Sheppard are still going to be extended through this area or is that project a victim of Bill 60?

A white elephant in the making after Alto opens.

That sounds like the kind of scope creep that would wildly inflate costs and get the whole project cancelled.

I love how rural residents are so concerned about how a new rail line will impact wildlife and nature but aren't bothered in the slightest about the network of roads and highways they use every day that does so much more damage than a railway ever could. Or that by reducing reliance on driving...

I don't think the T was ever meant to be a rapid transit designation since they use it for bus stops too. It could have been an effective rapid transit designation but they've diluted it to the point where it's meaningless. This doesn't replicate the Underground branding strategy. The fact that...

If capacity is a problem, the solution is to build more lines. Not to spend billions on shutting a line down for years to convert it to something else. There's a lot of relief built into the design of the Line 5. Lines that go directly downtown from Eglinton act as relief lines of sorts at four...

Mount St. Louis Moonstone added around 60 m of vertical using fill. So I'm sure it's technically possible to do the same at Le Massif. The question is why would they bother? Mount St. Louis is a small hill and the extra vertical makes a big difference in the experience of skiing there. That...

I think Alto just hasn't finalized all the details yet and a lot of members of the forum are overthinking it.

The canopy was always misguided. Seemingly a symptom of this city's odd compulsion to isolate public squares from surrounding streets instead of opening up to them. The whole Dundas and Victoria frontages need a complete rethink. And how Dundas Square (the street) hasn't been at least partially...
