    Mid Humber Gap Trail Study (City of Toronto)

    Given the fact that the City of Toronto and the TRCA are building this trail, with plenty of experience building trails and protecting against floods, this is an especially ridiculous claim.

    Toronto Toronto | Ryerson's Mattamy Athletics Centre + Loblaws at the Gardens | ?m | ?s | Ryerson University | Turner Fleischer

    The OHL arena in Mississauga will be needing a new tenant as the team there is moving to Brampton (I don’t get the thinking behind that one, but alas). That would have reasonable capacity, but transit access stinks.

    Brampton Transit/Zum

    No. Already, Route 104 (the pre-Zum express route) terminates at Chinguacousy and Sandalwood. Long term, it might go all the way to Mayfield.

    Downtown Grocery Store List (current + proposed)

    The worst Loblaws in Toronto – Broadview and Danforth – is converting to No Frills in the meantime, but that property is up for redevelopment at some point too.

    Or feel like you need to use Doug Ford’s given name either!

    Downtown Grocery Store List (current + proposed)

    Summerhill Market seems to be the hot new luxury grocery store chain these days.

    This is going into absurd territory. Keep it on topic people.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Nope, that’s CN territory. It’d require triple tracking through Downtown Brampton (at the minimum). Things are slowly moving on that front but Brampton will have to demolish the office building at Nelson and Main and build a new transit terminal to support the expanded station there.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Except that in 1937, the TSR was long gone.

    GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

    Why is the station called Pinebush when the intersecting street called Eagle in that area?

    Until recently, blue was the colour of Mississauga’s express 100-series routes. It’s also the primary Brampton Transit colour. But bright red isn’t used by anything outside of the TTC, so that could have been an option too.

    Restaurant Comings & Goings

    Just in the areas within a 20-30 minute walking distance from the falls. The chain restaurants next to the QEW or I-190 are the same prices as those anywhere else. Though it’s not as bad in NFNY as it is in NFON. The only other place (outside of a sports venue, airport, or amusement park) I...

    Mississauga got the loop, which itself is ridiculous.

    46th Canadian General Election

    Meanwhile Josh Matlow has ruled out running for the Liberals in St. Paul’s. The right move there. https://x.com/joshmatlow/status/1761054619273167274?s=46&t=2Qr3v-vGnsUZkrGyUid2oQ

    46th Canadian General Election

    His social media feed has pivoted almost entirely to supporting the far right Israeli government and its supporters, along with complaining about Chow’s budget and harm reduction policies. There’s also his NCIS: Spadina-Fort York scandal and his business partner suing him for scamming her at...

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    The complicating factor is that the downtown area starts where Main Street meets Etobicoke Creek just north of Nanwood. If it’s tunneled, it must get well below Etobicoke Creek for environmental reasons. That rules out a simple cut and cover for at least that section. I’m really hoping that...

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    It’s also looking increasingly likely that Line 10 will be underground now, with the province seemingly supportive of it. With 5 1/2 seats up for grabs, and what appears to be a truce between Brown and Ford, I can see it announced in the upcoming budget.

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

    Yeah. Highway 407 overpass is only now being widened for the LRT. The elevated section at the 403 isn’t yet complete. There are many sections where the guideway hasn’t been built yet, never mind tracks installed. It’s only Derry-Courtney Park and Britannia-Eglinton that looks anywhere near ready.

    Mississauga Toronto | Hurontario-Main Line 10 LRT | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Tangentially related, but the City of Brampton has bought up most of the buildings on the east side of Main, north of Queen. It wants to demolish the entire block as the properties are in poor shape, partially due to an abandoned underground channel that carried Etobicoke Creek until the early...
