Sorry. Pedestrians, cyclists, transit, and supply & services all have a higher order of utility and priority over cars. Increasingly denser cities require this for the functioning of good neighbourhoods', and it’s coming. Doug Ford is rapidly showing that he is morphing into a dinosaur, a...

Tim, it’s too bad we could not just have you photo regular quadrants of the GTA on some sort of rotating basis. ( Said tongue in cheek as I am fully aware of time required vs partner, kids, job, family etc etc). These are great photos and so illuminating. I finally had the farm photographed in...

well, if you gaze across the street, it may fit in, externally at least. But I am partial to red (tractors for sure), so maybe holding a slight bias. In its favour, it does sit on the reimagined Plains Road, with bike lanes ( and traffic lanes not reduced as a result) and it does replace three...

Curious. Does anyone know where the considerable amounts of excavated materials are being trucked too?

About time. This is the season where all of these encampments should go, and permanently. Without recourse to returning, for all. And I know the city is hard up for money ( thank you Doug) And this is an issue where the province could really make a difference - changes to accommodation (thank...

From Trains.com MONTREAL — When safety is on the table, there can be no debate about measures taken to ensure it. So when Canadian National informed VIA Rail Canada last Friday that all Venture trainsets of less than 32 axles could not operate at track speed across highway crossings equipped...

Add the Feds National Shipbuilding Strategy to this list - a similar program to develop, retain and expand an industry and its expertise by continuing flows of contracted work. It is going to be crucial to keep workflows of light and heavy rail transit flowing - be it here in the GTA or out...

I would urge every UT’r with an interest in the subject to communicate directly with your local mpp, the relevant minister, and Ford himself with your thoughts on the announcement, the provincial policy, and what you would like to see. And if you have a spare $25, join the party and influence...

Re QEW and the answer is “sometimes”??? Stop and Go traffic, most often including the HOV lanes, is a regular occurrence, both eastbound and westbound, from anywhere in Oakville through the QEW to the area of the Red Hill or through the 403 Hamilton, up the mountain and approaching HWY 52. So...

The Economist (which everyone should read) is spot on. And this is not necessarily ‘new’ news or data. NAFTA related organizations reported on these trends 20 or more years ago. And there has been much study since. The problem extends beyond plants, bees for instance, but protections on a wider...

I think we all understand that, but if you are as evasive as our local candidates are, you realize there will be no stated policy until PP’s PMO’s office takes shape, so we are left with this guidance only. Their last fundraising effort appeared to be more concerned about ‘woke’ Tim Horton...

Creeping along to the finish line.

From the other day, still working on the finishing puzzle pieces.

I am sure there will be concerns expressed about local parking and overspill into Sherwood Park. Sherwood hosts a high level of ‘footie’ activity with fields with full lighting, one of which fronts onto the proposed Developement, and triple domes in the winter. Plus the rugby club field (and...

There was a bit too much dew the other morning to work any field, and I was meeting a friend in the area, was early, and took some shots of the project as well, some from the bike trail / parking lot on the south side……the south side features the brutalized channel of Rambo creek. I always find...

Conservative Party Public Policy…..see https://cpcassets.conservative.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/23175001/990863517f7a575.pdf. This is about as close to comprehensive as it gets, with the rider, that this document is guidance only. See points 66 and 67 re rail transport.

Completely agree with your * paragraph, and so should every cyclist and pedestrian.

The entire section running westwards from Lemonville Rd, through the Junction and then around into the CN yard off of York Road is very constrained by geography, roads and highways, botanical gardens and cemeteries. If you were looking at a flyover, could you consider moving the flyover portion...

A photo from the Region of Halton website detailing progress to date on the Wyecroft Road Bridge crossing Bronte Creek. Once complete, this link, extending from Trafalgar (as Wyecroft Road, then Harvester Road, then Plains Road i.e. HWY 2 ) , will provide an alternate route for westbound...

I have ridden that train more then a few times. And I agree, lovely scenery, White River is not a 'tourist' town, and there is no compelling need to extend a money losing service further west (as much as we might want want to). But it does provide a service along the line it runs - to First...
