The section of bike lane fills a gap in the network between Victoria and Sherman. West of Victoria, Hunter becomes the preferred bike route. Currently, the Stinson/Delaware route with a jog at Wentworth is not ideal as it is too far from Main to be convenient to bike to businesses on Main...

I wonder if the deal struck with CN to deal with Brampton and Silver Junction will provide a template for addressing Niagara service. From a capital perspective, clearly Metrolinx is struggling to find current projects, so it is likely waiting a few years. But the big things to address would be...

I think people are being a little unreasonable with what they expect from communications in situations like these. The employees dealing with this are focused on 2 things: 1. Resolving the issue 2. Communicating scheduling impacts to customers The person in charge of posting alerts probably...

I believe part of the issue is stop length, not just turning radius. Some of the stops on Barton aren't long enough for an arctic to allow safe exit form the rear doors. If they got around that issue during pandemic restrictions, they may have a solution, maybe when the new garage opens and...

Thanks for the detailed response. Gives me some more background before emailing the city about it. Hamilton has a lot of signal changes going on right now with roads being transitioned to 2-way, LPIs becoming standard, and Cycle tracks with dedicated signals, so I'm sure the transportation...

I have a traffic signal question related to bike signals. There are 2 locations in Hamilton I've been interested in the logic behind the bike signal timing and whether it can be changed: 1. Bay at King and Bay at Main (https://maps.app.goo.gl/v7xTTRukTtdeGT5g6?g_st=ac) Here the bike signal...

Something I noticed on the Hamilton Public works committee agenda this week: looks like Flixbus is planning to serve downtown Hamilton. Service levels should be good as well...

The reason is the ~1000 bi-level coaches GO already owns that have plenty of lifespan left, and the Bi-level coach is a de-facto standard across a few systems in North America. GO is a large enough organization that when they order new equipment they will be ordering in large enough QTYs to...

An alternative option for the junction could be just committing to more expropriation and a longer viaduct. Expropriate a large chunk of the properties between Midland and the MX corridor to allow for a smooth elevated curve with a 450m radius. That gets you to a point just beside the MX...

I think the scope and type of project is important here. Building a bridge is a very different project compared to replacing bridge spans of an existing structure. If Metrolinx is building a new bridge, with new abutments, then building the abutments to support a 4th span would be important. But...

What is wrong with the current corridor through west harbour. 1.5km isn't very far and is a reasonable distance for last mile solutions and local transit to cover. The existing corridor has lots of room to expand, follows an extremely straight and flat alignment to Niagara, running through most...

I expect this has to do with CN construction. CN has been doing refurbishment of pretty much all the grade crossings in Hamilton (including Stoney Creek). I hope the refurbishment includes track speed upgrades, but there is no indication that is happening. I'm still trying to determine if it is...

It definitely isn't possible with VIA's or Kingston's budget, but you could definitely build two terminating platforms that double as storage tracks at the station. One to the North of platform 1 to the west of the station building, and one to the south of platform 2, to the east of the platform...

I should have clarified that I meant the Georgetown to Kitchener segment, which I believe is Metrolinx owned. Am I mistaken in thinking that?

It has been discussed a bit before, but considering Metrolinx already owns the tracks to Kitchener, and is planning hourly service, buying the tracks that continue on to London, upgrading to a reasonable speed, and running a frequent service to London is probably better done by Metrolinx. They...
