Im really wondering why they cant do concurrent activity and train the first batch of ttc operators with the trainers. they all will learn how to drive the trains and the only major difference is that the trainers will take additional training to teach. they just missed a big opportunity to...

This is an example of the ridiculous overdesigb of some of these bike lanes. Ferrand Drive has been butchered by these new painted lines. See how the divider is WIDER than the bike lane itself. There will never be enough bike traffic to warrant a LEFT TURN LANE and to cut a road in half. Even if...

Where else can they expand to?

That's fine but why would it be necessary for ML owned track when cp/cn shouldn't have the say on this. Just another unnecessary expenditure

so are the stupid platform gap rules a tc thing or a cn requirement thing?

on a related note i find it appalling but unsurprising how after over 10 years they still havnt converted everything to pantos yet... more dragging of their heels on infrastructure upgrades

Is there any indication on when that will actually happen or are they dragging their heels on this? its been over 2years since they announced the award

how are they going to finish the track? will they pour a concrete topping or go the ECT way and use grass?

similar to the situation with the roadworks on 16th ave across from the former buttonville airport. its taken so long to construct that the brand new short stubby street lights designed based on the run way restrictions are obsolete before they even get a chance to power on since theres no...

Oops misread but same question....how long for that final 30%?

I wonder how long it will take to complete systems integration from 61%...

I have a feeling that many of the public are shuddering at this method given the negative impact it has been for yonge/eglinton. Sure it's not quite the same but to the general uneducated public they all see everything from the same lens

While it's great that we have been trying to catch up this last decade the unfortunate thing is that it has been catch up. What they are trying to do now is something that should've been done 30 years ago when you're comparing population density and city size. Still a long long way to go

Populism usually leaves the other side reeling and destitute

Seems like their oil lobbyists over there weren't as strong or they had a more progressive culture. Somewhere in the 1960s onwards it seemed like we just gave up any ambition to expand our infrastructure

Well it's not like we had nothing.... we had a huge rail network. Even our cities had extensive suburban rail for streetcars and inter urban trains. It's mainly politically driven and also thanks to automobile lobbyists

Maybe Healthcare and diversity? Seriously though when "inferior" countries like morroco, Thailand, Indonesia Malaysia and India building or already having hsr or hfr we are already a laughing stock and don't belong to G7

It's helpful if changing govts don't cancel infrastructure projects when they come into power just because of ideological differences. Just look at the hsr work that was immediately cancelled by Ford. Now to restart it'll be an additional $2B. Looking at the us most of their rail is owned by...

maybe they should break up the services to be run by region, Via West, East, and Central. At least for that the federal agenda wont affect the operations as much.

a tremendous shame if that were to happen. how are we going to be a "developed" country when our infrastructure is stuck in the 60s and only contracting...
