Mods, please delete if not appropriate. I figured I’d make a thread where we can discuss transit proposals from various Mississauga Mayoral candidates, to keep other threads clean. This is the first election in multiple decades where we have more than two major candidates, so hopefully we get...

From Yonge and Temperance:

Pictures of the returned trailers from just now:

I shot them today, and yes I was driving and stoping along the way. Missed some things but tried to capture most of what I found interesting! Would have been great to run into you. I noticed this too but couldn’t grab a shot. I checked the provided renderings on Metrolinx’s website, and it...

I’m happy I can now just call it “Line 10” without having to assign a transit mode to the name, as to not trigger a 5-page UT debate.

Part 2: Trailwood and Hurontario:

LMAO what?

And the only part of Mississauga with a real nightlife. Having MCC as a real downtown is a decent idea - the density will be there to support it. Just hope that transit for people not going there isn't impacted.

Seeing this rumour on Twitter. The poster has a decent track record. This would hopefully mean that 1) the rumoured big April service bump is happening 2) hopefully Kitchener Line (at least Bramalea-Union) service increases offset service losses at local stops 3) Mount Dennis station is...

Just went past on the GO. Two large construction trailers (construction offices) delivered to the site, sitting beside the road.

It did not.

GO is building a parallel and separate corridor so unsure why it couldn't be electrified. Any idea what the payoff to buy the parallel corridor land from CPKC for the new Milton Line GO corridor is? My guess was $2 billion. In general, I would say that CN and CPKC’s resistance to...

Go for it!

Earthworks underway on a warm February Friday on the townhome site:

From Monday:

Interesting Federal TRAN Committee (Transport and Infrastructure) meeting coming up on February 29th. Link. Projects of High Frequency Rail Between Quebec City and Toronto, Between Calgary and Banff, and Between Calgary and Edmonton CN Rail, Metrolinx (Phil Verster), Amtrak, and Railway...

This design is so far superior to what we have now. Only design change I’d make is to have the entire horizontal bar for each train the colour of the line.

Do you think that Metrolinx will just get Mobilinx (consortium building Line 10) to build the loop to avoid a tendering process?

They're going to run into the same issue with Line 10 in Mississauga and Brampton. They're sticking with saying end of 2024 but it really is end of 2025 or 2026.
