I drove past this site as well. As Tim noted, there are a lot of bales of straw, now seemingly all under tarps. So I am not sure if MTO is opening a feed lot operation or not...maybe not? However, as complete to a lane shifting mode as the western side of the bridge and the bridge appear to...

I lived in Clarkson for a number of years and I am not sure I really see a lot of impact here. Yes the sections to,the immediate south of the station become residential, but that has been talked about for years. And mirrors what has been happening on the east side of Southdown. To the north of...

I don’t really see any issue with the old village, south of the railway line. Their are legacy towers interspersed with new tower building, and 2 -10 and 2-15 is not horrible in other areas is not bad. And the 1-4 area just east of the river park is the arena, the Anglican Church and churchyard...

I had a meeting near Sq One today and afterwards I took the opportunity to drive down 10, sorry HO, towards 2, sorry, the Lakeshore , play kamikaze lane ownership with Miways F1 capable articulated buses, and look over the scenery that drum118 has been steadily reporting on. In short, do they...

Am I interpreting this correctly? They are having one controlled intersection on each side of the crossing on 6? (6 crossing via bridge over 5? Or vice versa) If so, why?. Instead of one intersection, you now have two. What traffic congestion issue are we solving?

Sorry. My error, left out the source. His LinkedIn bio.

Yes I see that….. AboutAbout My professional life is driven by three closely held convictions: 1. Public service is an obligation; 2. Government services, goods, and assets are incredibly important - and these are often best delivered/produced/maintained in partnership with the private sector...

And Michael Lindsay is moving from where?

It is a taxable allowance. Whether you have a car or not. Or you may have intended to have a car. Just another form of bonus compensation that is taxed.

A friend overseas forwarded me some articles on the subject of tolling highways and congestion tolling, and the spin off benefits (further $ for maintenance and improvement plus additional capacities to transit) Singapore was one example I was not formerly really familiar with, although I have...

Thank you for the graph. And your comments. Respectfully I would suggest that we not fixate on 2% as ‘the’ number. Anything between 3 and 4% would allow for a smallish but well equipped and supported (reserves and para-military coast guard) force that would allow the country to begin to project...

The other note I would add is that the Trump Government will begin to push a 3% minimum on defence spending. They will threaten their participation in NATO unless this happens. In theory I have nothing against this. We cheerfully give billions and billions away in other ‘social’ causes, the...

Lots of informed postings here. A couple of other notes. A comprehensive bill further enabling and protecting the employment rights of those serving in the reserves, both in ‘regular’ duties and during any periods of service with the regular forces. Housing, pay scales and other incentives...

Stats Can reports, but uses a different reporting methodology, as does the AAR in the USA. I believe there has been some comment previously about looking for stats that would use similar methodology to report on results. Not sure we have found that yet, or had the time to drill down into what is...

The CNN Headline is: Britain is building one the the worlds most expensive railways....an interesting read, especially with our ongoing experiences with Metrolinx. With its first — and now only — phase currently costed at between $58.4 billion and $70 billion by the UK government, Britain’s...

Somewhere there is an article, which I cannot find currently, that talks about these comparisons as well. The lack of, or restrictions to double stacking, and the volumes and frequencies of passenger rail that hinder the movement of freight (and also passenger service in some areas). It also...

All my figures cam from Euro Stat reports. They publish a series of general reports on Rail (freight and passenger) and Maritime traffic levels yearly.

This morning, west of the bridge, actually west of Mississauga Road, paving crews were hard at work completing the final work around the newly completed center median crash barrier. The western approaches to the bridge appear to be ready very shortly for a major lane alignment to make use of the...

It should have been developed as Doug's SPA Facility and Ontario Place regenerated (and possibly enlarged) as a public park and entertainment facility. Doug could have bicycled down University Avenue to Front for his daily hot rock treatment and we would all have been better off.

Comparing the movement of goods and services in the EU vs NAM is a little like comparing two similar fruits - similar, but not the same. Nevertheless, what Drum has mentioned above, bears a lot of truths. Europe moves over 120 billion tonne kilometers by inland waterway transport through a...
