    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    I asked for more detailed ridership data two months ago, by station, something that Metrolinx used to publish as a map and shared on their blog. They told me I would have to file a FOI request. I’ve already done that twice for separate aspects of the Hurontario Line, I’m not in a hurry to do...

    2111 Steeles Avenue East Brampton | ? | ? | ? | ?

    I’m surprised Canadian Tire held on to that warehouse for so many years after the Goreway and Bolton sites opened. It’s definitely not of modern design for logistics hubs. There’s definitely potential for mixed use, but there are several caveats: the Pearson north-south runway noise contours...

    Roads: Ambassador & Gordie Howe Bridges

    The Detroit side should probably hook up with its great RiverWalk system at least. I don’t see the same opportunities on the Windsor side.

    I'm Not A City Planner, But I Play One in Video Games

    I’m still creating hyper realistic US-style cities in CS 1, mostly using custom assets. There are still new assets being made for it. I gave up on CS 2 almost immediately.

    GO Transit: Construction Projects (Metrolinx, various)

    Interestingly, the inbound GO buses on the DVP were signed 90Y, not 90E.

    Woodbine Centre

    Needing a day out after the Tuesday election, I paid a visit to the mall. I included a list of mall tenants from 1992 as well. https://seanmarshall.ca/2024/11/09/woodbine-centre-the-end-of-a-fantasy/

    Toronto Toronto | TOOR Hotel / The 203 Residences on Jarvis | 108.2m | 32s | Manga | Arcadis

    I'm wondering if the hotel rooms will open next week for Swiftorama.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    The south side of Aldershot Station is indeed good residential development land. I wonder what the cost-benefit would be of building the garage (which are very expensive to build) and developing the south side with some medium density TOD.

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    The social media and website people are probably CUPE. Still, you’d think a manager could provide basic information.

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    Brampton Transit operators are represented by ATU. Presumably CUPE represents office administration and terminal agents (three terminals have BT customer service staff), and they’re picketing.

    Downtown Grocery Store List (current + proposed)

    The Front Street store is pretty good as far as urban Metro locations go - not too jam-packed (unlike Bloor/Robert), decent selection and well-stocked (unlike Gould Street), and it does carry the basics and bulk items you just can't get at the market, or pay a lot more for. The MLG Loblaws is...

    2024 United States presidential election

    It’s looking like the Republicans take the House, the Senate, and the White House. You’re going to see a christofacist SCOTUS, a vindicated Musk, an emboldened Putin, and an unleashed Netanyahu. It’s feeling like the darkest timeline.

    Downtown Grocery Store List (current + proposed)

    Same with the No Frills on Shuter, which will compete with the Metro on Gould. It's badly needed, given how crowded and badly the Metro is stocked these days.

    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    On the bright side, he’ll be lucky to end up as stand-in host to Marc Patrone’s radio talk show once he’s kicked out of parliament.

    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    How did that go, Kevin?

    Mayor Olivia Chow's Toronto

    Blowout. Furey couldn't win in a mostly comfortable, if not outright affluent, inner suburban ward. It was unfortunate that two decent candidates had to withdraw from the campaign, but at least it shows it's difficult to win on a right-wing, reactionary, anti-bike platform, especially if you...

    Intercity Bus Services

    The Wasaga Beach-Collingwood route is the only Linx service that operates weekends; it’s a holdover from when CollTrans operated it.

    Intercity Bus Services

    Yeah, the Barrie-Wasaga Beach route should be a top priority for weekend service, followed by Barrie-Orillia. I wonder if Route 7 would see GO withdraw its local service between Bradford and Barrie.

    Durham College? There’s no train to Durham College. Oh, yeah, just call it Oshawa. It’s Oshawa.
