    Toronto Toronto | Scotiabank Arena Renovations | ?m | ?s | MLSE | BBB

    Is there not some sort of blueprints/plans available online for this project? Aside from the few renderings. Wouldn't there be a development proposal made to the city of Toronto? I just want to know more about the renovation.

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    Thanks for this! How funny that the first illustration for the expansion of T1 virtually replicates the demolished T2 building.

    Toronto Pearson International Airport

    Pearson's "LIFT" renovation plans mentions 1) a new interim terminal. A renovation or rebuild of the infield terminal? 2) renovation of T1/T3 and 3) Expansion of T1 facilities. Unfortunate that current leadership is lacking in details regarding these projects. Link here: Lift Program

    Transit Fantasy Maps

    I don't think the eastern portion of the Pickering rail link is necessary, especially considering it would need significant new railway. The benefit of having a rail link to any potential Pickering airport is drawing from the large population base WEST of the airport lands, not the east. GO...

    2022 Transportation Master Plan (TMP) - York Region

    400/Teston seems like an ideal location for a SPUI interchange. The surrounding built up area blocks the traditional Ontario Parclo's. Forcing an awkward interchange for the SB 400

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    And if we can take even 20% of those personal vehicles off that road and on to transit those commercial vehicles would be able to move more easily

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Transit operating at or above capacity does cause problems. Slower loading/unloading times, passengers left behind at downstream stations, unsafe in the event of an emergency. See Bloor-Yonge station, and this is why alternative routes (DRL/OL) have long been proposed.

    General railway discussions

    A great example of this is residents who complain about Toronto Pearson's flight paths despite yyz being nearly 60 yrs old the the communities complaining being recent developments (in the last 20 to 30 yrs)

    Canadian Highway Fantasy Thread

    I'd have a Barrie "bypass" travel roughly SW to somewhere around Kitchener/Guelph. With the idea being that it would allow for travel from northern Ontario to sw Ontario without entering the GTA. Particularly for transport trucks.

    Caledon-Vaughan GO Rail Line

    My fantasy would be a NW extension to Collingwood and trigger some increased tourism at Blue Mountain and the surrounding area.

    Toronto Toronto | Union Station Revitalization | ?m | ?s | City of Toronto | NORR

    Would love to see the return of Harvey's to union. How about a Baskin Robbins or dairy queen. Get your ice cream fix on a hot summer day. A Panini shop would be nice as well or even Mr sub

    Caledon-Vaughan GO Rail Line

    I thought the rail line connecting Allendale in Barrie to Collingwood (and the bala sub) had been abandoned

    Toronto Toronto | Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    You'd be surprised what some people say. Like you've just come in from single digit weather and expect to have a stadium that's a balmy 22 degrees? You've clearly worn clothing appropriate for the weather outside so suck it up. In contrast TFC fans almost revel in it anytime there's inclement...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Exactly, well at least in the sense that roads and public transit should be viewed as a single solution rather than antagonists in some sort of 'war on cars' culture war. So if your complaint about some temporary lane closures for maintenance makes things untenable for drivers, because the...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    When roads reach capacity (traffic) we expand the roads and add more capacity. So what should we do when public transit reaches capacity? I'll wait

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Except that induced demand doesn't say that removing a lane reduces demand in the way that adding lanes 'creates' demand (quotations are intentional) the phenomenon is not reflective in that way. Induced demand says that changing the capacity of transport options changes the cost (in time and...

    Toronto Toronto | Union Pearson Express | ?m | ?s | Metrolinx | MMM Group Limited

    This is Toronto we DON'T DO mixed express/local service! LOL Great thing to see. Maybe add back the Bloor station since it connects with Line 2, but honestly it's not a huge inconvenience. I've seen lots of airline employees (flight attendants, etc) using the Bloor stop, however I guess UPX...

    Toronto Toronto | Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    You know. Rogers Centre as the first (or one of the first) fully enclosed retractable roof stadiums didn't really have a predecessor to learn from in the way that the retractable roof stadiums that have come after Rogers Centre did. I remind people that the Rogers Centre was designed as a...

    Toronto Toronto | Rogers Centre Renovations | ?m | ?s | Toronto Blue Jays | Populous

    I think a lot of people need to adjust the contrast/brightness on their TV's and/or not use vivid mode on their smartphone cameras. I don't see the amount of garishness (?) on my tv compared to some of the photo's I've seen online.
