    Toronto Toronto | Kipling Station Transit Hub | ?m | 2s | Metrolinx | SAI

    Hypothetically...any chance that the new GO Bus routes will go to Brampton, Guelph, Hamilton, Barrie etc. Not knowing how GO Bus prioritizes their routes, scheduling etc I just hope that that the new routes will increase transit options that were never realized before and that users and...

    Roads: Six Points Interchange Reconfiguration (City of Toronto, UC)

    Speculating...when development proposals are made to city for the six points plaza property what could we see developed here? Perhaps the city will request mixed use housing/condos before it could be approved. Personally I just couldn't see a development like on Marine Parade Drive. Maybe it...

    Roads: Six Points Interchange Reconfiguration (City of Toronto, UC)

    Curious...there is a small piece of land on the south east corner of the Six Points Plaza that will become available shortly. Will the owners of the plaza purchase this small slice or will the city turn it into a small parkette? The piece of land in question is in a awkward area but someone has...

I see that backup from my balcony on the onramp to Kiping north Mon to Fri during rush hour. A possible solution to is take take St Albans to Dundas, turn right and then make a left...

    Toronto Toronto | Station Place | 134.72m | 40s | First Capital | Diamond Schmitt

    ^^^ It looks like they are getting ready for some serious mega concrete pouring shortly. If you look at the pictures carefully the rebar placement indicates major volume/thickness to prepare the 3 storey podium/retail, shipping/receiving, and building infrastructure support. Edit: Not to...

    ^^^ I agree. The turning traffic is major factor in the back up. Add a long school bus or 18 wheel truck or 2 and it just snarls everything up. Surprisingly, north bound traffic on Kipling is faring better but can get backed up also during the thick of rush hour.

    I have noticed from my birds eye view that Kipling southbound is heavily backed up daily except late evenings and Sundays. I guess it will be like this till the rest of the road network is completed in 6-12 months (estimated).
