    Roads: Highway 401 Widening - Highway 8 to Highway 410 (MTO, U/C, Planned)

    I would bypass to the next intersection eastbound on the 401 and turn around to hit the westbound Hwy 8 ramp directly.

    Roads: 403/401/410 Interchange (MTO)

    A new Hwy on the west side of Brampton might help a bit. Getting the 427 extension to near Bolton done might help more. The new HOV lane on 410 should definitely have gone up at least to Bovaird. In fact, there could be an additional lane right up to Mayfield Rd. With all the residential sprawl...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Maybe we’ll see most vendors close by 7pm but at least McD’s & Tim’s will almost assuredly be open till much later. And open earlier, for that matter to catch the early morning coffee crowd as well. As of right now, there is a late evening market that current vendors like Bagel Stop & Starbucks...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    My question is why haven’t they laid at least one more track between the Parkdale junction (Barrie Line split) and USRC? With UPX, Kitchener, Barrie and Milton services, wouldn’t extra track give the room for more daily/frequent service?

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    In fact, the rail corridor seems to already have been aligned with this in mind.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    There is a section of the Islington bridge that is unused. The south underpass section could be cut back to add one more track, without disturbing Resources Rd.

    407 Rail Freight Bypass/The Missing Link

    I’m referring to the constant conflicts with CN limiting the already limited 2 way service between Maple and Aurora. Although as stated earlier on this page, the Davenport Overpass as originally announced was also supposed to have been done by now...

    407 Rail Freight Bypass/The Missing Link

    Just one observer’s humble opinion, but... In light of the recent news that Toronto’s commute overall has been ranked among the worst in the world (6th worst worldwide, worst in North America), it needs to be said again that Go trains are the biggest game changer we have. More trains, all day...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Based on a similar service of the same name in/around Paris, France though

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    The more worthwhile investment would be 4 or 5 tracking the Milton Line for all day 2 way/RER? service. Added to the Hurontario LRT, that would be pretty good service to Square One, no?

    Also conspicuous by its absence, the specific mention of RER continuing...

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Kingsbridge is only 400m Away from Eglinton, which is very close for stop spacing. Do we really need to have 2 stops there? Especially if Metrolinx can be convinced to build the Eglinton stop on the south side?

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    Isn’t that up to individual transit agencies?

    GO Transit: Union Station Shed Replacement & Track Upgrades (Zeidler)

    I, for one, am and will always be horrified by the fact we didn’t completely replace the old roof with that raised glass. Absolutely smh. Especially looking at the southernmost part of the old roof being a different design than the original part. And then platforms 24-27 being another different...

    Mississauga Toronto | Pearson Transit Hub | ?m | ?s | GTAA

    For you Bramptonians out there, yes, Bramalea City Centre does belong on the list. A solid 5th place with 6385 spots. But my “source” Is Wikipedia. :(

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    They still need to get rid of that paper hanging down from the bottom of the concourse level and remove the two frames still sitting over the north escalators...

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Also service to Mount Pleasant has about a 10 -12 minute turnaround time... And this point only addressed one of the few issues I mentioned.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I’m jumping in here, but I have to say. Given the way things have progressed this far with this corridor, from the fact that most of the infrastructure was built for 4 tracks, to the fact that 4 tracks were not laid from the outset (where possible), to the fact that, while short of the desired...

    TTC: New Fare Gate Installation

    I don’t understand why the TTC would halt the installation schedule at this point. According to the story, they’re about 80% done anyways and the failure rate is about 5%. Why not just continue and get it done, with additional technical oversight and an understanding that the faulty motors are...
