Thats odd... I thought they would have indicated on the site that funding for this project was announced as part of the infrastructure spending outlined yesterday...

Yeah I was just reading... but generally speaking, I am a bit disappointed overall.

Thanks for posting the edit... I have been wondering if Dalton and co would put forth some sort of stimulus as well, but hadnt heard anything as of yet.

$7 billion? So, suffice it to say that if this is all for infrastructure spending, I will be thoroughly disappointed. I thought we would be looking in the name of $15 billion specifically for infrastructure. But perhaps there is a specific fund/announcement that will pertain directly to...

Its because of that jerk that ripped off North Haverbrook!

The technology itself reads like it is out of a science fiction novel. First the iPhone and now this. Where will we possibly be in 10 - 15 years?

My memory seems a bit fuzzy... but thats Doc Brown, isnt it?

I would imagine clean up costs being pretty high... its not like you can have PCB residues floating around in the water of some pool with kids swimming in it... but I don't know if it is really a problem... just some thoughts that popped into my noggin. Nonetheless, I would like to see...

I know... why have we seen no reference to this model... especially after all the trips to Madrid last year. Plan out the next 10 - 15 years, get the bores in the ground and keep 'em running! I would like to know what the costs per km/ could be here in Toronto if we followed this path...

Fourth...

Very well put and I couldn't agree more...

I overlook the park from Malibu... and I was pretty surprised when I peered through the buildings on the street car ride into Union one day when I saw how massive that hill really is. I think it is higher than the Gardiner... its HUGE!

Totally man, I would love to see something unique like that... it would be quite refreshing!

I have thought about this as well... I mean, with all that bare concrete... it can't be too hard to integrate some cladding/facade of some sort. Maybe one day... it might be a stretch now, but a couple of years ago the Blue Jays were all about improving the Skydome.

No f'ing kidding eh? Those are some large numbers for BRT...

Off topic I know... but I do not know of any other forums that mention this stuff... Apparently we could see something very very progressive from a North American perspective... even outdoing California. The essence of the Green Energy Act is to follow the model German legislation that has...

Sorry - who was that?

I don't know personally, but I do know that when one of my uncles is here from Holland, here he lives about an hour south of Amsterdam, and he loves the highways here. He feels likes Kramer in that episode of Seinfeld when he paints over the lines and widens the lanes - he simply loves it. He...

I agree there... some people simply have no choice, and there is no way we can build enough transit to get everyone off the roads... but I think if we build it in the right places (which I know nothing about) we will give people a viable alternative, and I think that is the goal.

LOL, that's the last thing I expected to read when I refreshed!
