    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Has there been studies on tolling the express lanes and how traffic patterns would change and how long it would take to balance out?

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    So it was just to replace an old bridge with no lengthening?

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    I don't quite understand why they had to replace the two Hwy 400 bridges as they look the same to me. Are they stronger than the previous bridges? Do they make it possible to widen Finch Ave? I'm confused.

    Toronto Toronto | Bloor–Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    Lets say $50B is spent of subways under roads where the density does not support it (yet), how would the service look like? Would trains be ran at 15 minute or longer frequencies? How would the bus connection look like?

    Well, until Highway 404 gets north of Lake Simcoe. 🤣

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | Metrolinx

    There are plans to extend Garden Avenue from Yonge Street to Bayview Avenue and Red/Cedar Avenue from High Tech Road to Langstaff Road (preliminary design), both of these connections will make it easier for those in the Langstaff redevelopment area to get to Richmond Hill Centre. Whether or...

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | Metrolinx

    I would say Gormley is a pretty bare bones station. It's just that the bus terminal is way too large for just the 61 bus where YRT didn't even run buses into (or any now that Stouffville Road no longer has service).

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | Metrolinx

    Hypothetically speaking, if the Province a decade ago didn't announce the plan for the Yonge Subway Extension to Highway 7 and York Region built the Yonge Rapidway between Highway 7 and Finch (with the TTC building the section between Steeles and Finch), instead of diverting funds to the Highway...

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | Metrolinx

    I like how this thread always has circular discussions on not enough ridership, too much ridership causing over crowding, we need the Relief Line first, convert the Richmond Hill line to RER, combine the Richmond Hill Line with the Relief Line North, this should end at Steeles Ave, why does...

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    I suspect it's not hardware issue with the readers but rather a software issue with the way the readers, cards, and the system communicates. We've had lots of conversations saying that the current implementation of the Presto system (not internect connected, data stored on cards, limited space...

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | Metrolinx

    Uneducated Subway Supporter: They should have built a subway along Highway 7 so that I can get to the subway to get Downtown. Do you mean travelling from Union to Richmond Hill Centre or Markham Centre to Richmond Hill Centre?

    Metrolinx: Presto Fare Card

    That's because from a hardware and software point of view, the Presto Readers are always emitting a NFC source signal and the phoneb automatically detects this and attempts to open the wallet to pay. Why the readers are always emitting the signal probably has to do with how it interacts with the...

    Richmond Hill Yonge Line 1 North Subway Extension | Metrolinx

    Even though it wouldn't make much of a difference, I think Langstaff GO should be moved north a bit to right next to the Richmond Hill Centre Bus Terminal, especially since the TTC Richmond Hill Centre Station will be a bit north of the terminal. They can do what is similar to what is planned...

    Toronto Toronto | Eglinton Line 5 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | Arcadis

    Here's a suggestion, add bus-only lanes to the Jane Entrance and Exit, but not a likely to happen due to regulations.

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    The Humber College trenched stop not having a fully covered platform feels like a mistake. Also, what is with the (T) logos? Is the company(s) making the renders making this choice or did Metrolinx make it a specification. Didn't the Eglinton MSF sign at the entrance have this logo on it and...

    Metrolinx: Other Items (catch all)

    While I like that many new transit projects are moving to Metrolinx, the Metrolinx project website is terrible for information. There are no official documents, links to studies, or technical information avaliable. Does anyone know if Metrolinx actually provides this information or do you need...

    Toronto Toronto | Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx

    IMO, the Relief Line South plan was took the worst possible of the 4 realistic options for the City Hall stations. 1. 2 interchange stations centre aligned + + 2. 2 interchange stations outer aligned --| |-- 3. 2 interchange stations inner aligned |-- --| 4. 1 interchange station at Bay | -- |...
