As far as I know, the General campus will remain open. The new hospital at Dow's Lake will replace the Civic campus.

Never mind a 12-car bilevel train, I was once on a 24-car bilevel train into Barrie! (from Aurora, when we needed a push from the following train due to some tech issues)

I think there have been long-term plans for a transportation corridor connecting to the General Hospital and then south connecting to Conroy Rd. I think it's more likely to turn into a transit corridor in the future. Between upgrading the SE Transitway to rail and building rail in the hospital...

Morrison Hershfield have a website up for the construction work between Hespeler Rd. and Townline Rd. in Cambridge. Seems primarily focused on what work they're currently doing and disruptions to traffic. http://401cbridge.com/

Both the eastbound 401-25 exit ramp and the westbound 25-401 on-ramp are open now.

The new ramp from 25 South to 401 West appears to be paved, except for a gap where the current ramp cuts through. I'm guessing they'll be closing that ramp for awhile while they fill in the small gap.

I can confirm as well. They've been working in that corner of the interchange for a couple weeks now.

When you say 5/6 lanes to KW after Winston Churchill, do you mean in one direction, or in both directions. Either interpretation, this is incomprehensible to me. Milton to KW is fine with 6-lanes right now. Heavy truck traffic is an impediment to cars in that section, so I could see them...

The James Snow extension has been in place for quite awhile now, actually. I suspect that the roundabout at Campbellville Road might become the point where the Tremaine extension ends. Does anyone know the details on that project?

In theory, I see what you're saying. The reality, though, is that the 401 between Trafalgar and Winston Churchill is almost never congested. West-bound occasionally is, but it's a cascade effect from further west with the traffic weaving. I doubt it will end up being a problem for a very long time.

To be clear, other sections, even east of that, are nowhere near being ready. My understanding is that the collectors will end after Winston Churchill and it will drop to 10 lanes under the 407 (due to existing structures), and then expand to 13-lanes with collectors again through Milton.

Not in greenfields.

Pretty much all the land it would run through is not in the Greenbelt, so say good bay to some beautiful countryside, and hello to more non-descript subdivisions. I'm sure all those land developers that fund the OPC and Ontario Proud are absolutely giddy. (That said, as someone who works near...

I noticed that it looked like they were actually doing paving on the new 401 WB collectors between the 407 and Trafalgar on my way home yesterday.

The most sensible simplest numbering to me is one number from the interchange of Hwy 8 and 401 to St. Jacob's, and basically the current Hwy 7 remaining the same. That leaves just one short section where they would be concurrent (between the current interchange of Hwy 8 and the Conestoga Pkwy...

That would be sensible and entirely possible, but it would have required political will and leadership from the governing Conservatives at the time and do you really think they cared enough about a logical highway numbering system in the province?

Provincial policy requires municipalities to have something like 30 year supply of land for development. I remember that a developer successfully challenged the City of Ottawa at the OMB awhile ago for not having enough developable land. In any case, the regional policy is less about combating...

It's also rather pretty, I think.

Lack in confidence is definitely an issue. I am one of the few people who keep right except to pass. A lot of people needlessly move to the middle lane to make room for merging traffic - sometimes this is warranted and considerate when a lot of traffic is merging at the same time, but it's...

How does the chip compare to other existing neural-network-optimized chips that already exist on the market like Google's Edge TPU?
