    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    It is but the penultimate picture has Martin Grove in the station signage plus the 2 different transit icons.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Thanks to @reinventingthewheel over on the Finch LRT pages for highlighting Woodbines proposed timeline for the Woodbine GO Station. I don't know how construction of a relatively simple two-island station can last 4.5 years but this is their estimate - shrug. https://woodbinecommunityplan.com/

    Toronto Toronto | Crosstown LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    In the tunnels, driver will close the door and initiate running but the ATC will control the vehicle between stations...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Why does the Martin Grove render have graphics for 2 modes of transit? Is that the 2051 plan to extend the Ontario Line through Richmond Hill, VMC, Pearson Airport and south to Kipling? The Richview to Kipling transmission corridor runs right next to Eglinton & Martin Grove!

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    Some vehicles will use the 413 to bypass the 401/400. But, there will also be a lot of vehicles from the new subdivisions on the Caledon / Brampton border who use the 413 as better way accessing the 427, 410, 403 into Mississauga, Toronto and Oakville.

    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    The Terms of Reference for the initial GTA West Environmental Assessment (back in July 2007) allowed for a route between Guelph and Hwy 400: I don't support the 413 but at least a highway north of Brampton and Georgetown would have provided a route for stone from the many quarries to move into...

    Toronto Toronto | GO Transit: Davenport Diamond Grade Separation | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    The 'Go Expansion Full Business Case' that was accepted by the Metrolinx Board in December 2018 has services that start in Barrie (Allandale) skipping King City and Maple. I believe the 15-minute 2-way service will now start in Newmarket rather than Aurora. Using the the Kitchener line...

    Streetcar Tracks on Adelaide

    This isn't correct surely? IIRC, Canada literally "wrote the book" on concreting in below zero C temperatures. Those of you engaged in construction please correct me if I'm wrong but I'd have thought concreting could proceed in these relatively mild temperatures, as long as measures were taken...

    GO Transit Electrification | Metrolinx

    There are Metrolinx Board meetings scheduled for June 27 and September 12. Surely the Board will sign off the developed plan at one of these.

    Toronto Toronto | GO Transit: Davenport Diamond Grade Separation | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    There are certainly locations along the Barrie line where 3 tracks could fit in the right of way. For example here at Teston Road in Vaughan there are 2 tracks but a third could be added with some relocation. The green boundaries are planning regulation areas but these are derived from land...

    2024 Mississauga Mayoral Byelection Transit Plans

    In November 2019, Metrolinx issues an Initial Business Case Update that claimed 2-way all-day service between Toronto and Kitchener was possible by improving cooperation with CN over use of their Halton Subdivision (Bramalea - Georgetown) at about half the cost of a freight bypass and with lower...

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Your prejudice against the hard working people who do the unglamorous work that keeps the economy going surfaces in many of your posts. Having worked on a tunnel job (a long time ago admittedly) I'd suggest that, when the TBM is functional, there are probably 2 crews, each working an 11 hour...

    Barrie Collingwood Railway (BCRY)

    According to Google, Barrie Transit buses are fitted with a warp-speed feature that enables them to get from the Downtown Bus Station to Allendale Station in 2 minutes, so any transit investments would need to take this into account.

    Hamilton Toronto | Hamilton Line B LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    From that Hwy 403 Interchange Ramp Configuration Review, it looks like the only way from the 403 W-bound to downtown Hamilton will be along York Blvd. At least the police should be able to increase City revenues with their speed trap at the cemetery ;-)

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    The landscape restoration plan details for the Eglinton West Extension guideway probably give us an idea of what it will look like along Don Mills after restoration: As soon as the land drops away to the archery range, there will be enough height below the bridge deck for trees to...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 Crosstown West Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    The Portlands is a good example of the cost of providing mitigation engineering - ~$1.2B split between the 3 levels of government to mitigate flooding risk in Leslieville, East Harbour and the Portlands

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Metrolinx's industry consultation for Construction Packages 2 & 4 on the Guelph Sub has reached Merx. Wish I knew the scope of these packages.
