    Dundas West/ Bloor Mobility Hub +interconnected hub network (Metrolinx)

    Technically, there's an entrance/exit to the surface sandwiched between the Milton track and the new condo north of Crossways. Though the route is far from convenient, I believe this is the route most often used to connect between GO & TTC stations at the moment because the GO platforms are...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    In the absence of proper accountability - for example detailed reporting to the Board meetings - it's all we have to go on.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    This LinkedIn post confirms there's a team at Metrolinx planning the expansion of Milton line service. I know there are several frequent contributors who are anxious that they stop planning and start construction but at least we have confirmation that planning work (for example, preliminary...

    No, it's an entrance off Eastern Ave to a corridor that'll take westwards into the main Line 3 station, which sits adjacent to the Broadview extension. To the left in this view there's also a small station area under the bridges for GO Trains, with the main Go station area also beside Broadview...

    Does no one check these images before release? That's the Ontario Line in the foreground (with the shorter platform and platform doors) apparently now running Bi-level GO Transit stock!

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Frustratingly, this yard is only needed once construction of the 3rd/4th track through Brampton is complete - to support Mt Pleasant 30-min services. Construction of the grade separation, west of this location, is the real priority project for the next incremental service upgrade - AD2W hourly...

    Anyone know if the electricity system operator (ieso.ca) has de-energized the transmission circuits beside those cranes? If a crane failed or experienced unexpectedly high wind loads it could come into contact with a conductor - establishing a path to earth for ~140,000V. That would be fatal...

    But the Netherland's key strategy is getting people out of single-user vehicles. The modal share of private motor vehicles for the Amsterdam area was only 43% compared to Toronto CMA at 76%. In accordance with stereotype, it's cycling that contributes the most, with walking and public...

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    Yes, the original study area was big enough to cover a route from N Brampton to Guelph. But the "Halton Peel Boundary Area Transportation Study showed the need for an expressway between Mayfield Rd and the 401/407 junction and the GTA-West scope changed to take in that proposal. Those of...

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    The "Corridor Missions" presented at the last Metrolinx Board meeting suggest that the first incremental service upgrade will be 60-min All-day service to Kitchener. Which will require building the grade separated junction between Winston Churchill Blvd and the Credit Bridge (not at Silver...
