Id like to add too that a lot of the current "MUP" projects are "missing links" and sort of the last parts of connecting or completing trails. There were many trails that were built rather quickly in the 2000s and 2010's because they basically didn't interact with many obstacles. Now we are left...

....Because its already very frequent during peak hours....

LOL, you do realize that you can still take a train from Union to Pearson and vice versa every 15 minutes still. Just, one is express and one isn't. Very few people take the train to the airport for the purpose of travel from Weston or Bloor. That's why they are doing this.

If this isn't a Hyperloop i'm not taking it. Hyperloop, the ultimate April fools joke. Also, you should have called it the Big Move project. And abbreviated it to the BM project. No government would be silly enough to call their project the BM.

is anyone pushing for LRT though? I havent heard anyone call for LRT in over a decade.

Yep. Forever and always "Toronto The Good". The victorian puritanism ideologies of the past just reinvent themselves in some new way in the kin of the next generation.

To continue this, a report/study/request by the city went out 5-8 years ago about adding rail trails along MX owned rails, and they basically politely said to F*$% off. They said its not possible, without any sort of reasoning. I can't find this report of course now.

Exactly. No one likes to watch horses go round a track. They like seeing their horse win them lots of money haha.

The odd thing is I've tried repeatedly to get Google Maps to add both trails to Google Maps, painstakingly adding the "roads" with their editor, without success. They refuse to acknowledge this trail exists. So make sure when you ride it to have G-Maps open on your phone with routing turned...

Sounds like someone has already hit their head.... I mean its not a top priority but all it would take is a small shroud.

If we just electrified the two rails, it would solve every problem. No more trespassers and cheap and easy electrification. But I digress.

Top speed is 160kmh currently on the corridor

I would call the car rental places. They sometimes have some after hours systems set up in place to rent a car etc.

Hmm, agree to disagree. There is plenty of room if that fence comes down on the left. And I am all for removing unnecessary redundancy in the bike network. I don't ascribe to the ideology that "all bike lanes are good bike lanes" We need to spend the budget wisely. I also prefer any off-road...

Sure, but I think then the Roselawn work is redundant and unnecessary. If it was a longer strip, sure, but in the case of extending the trail I would just do this: And put a Bikeway on the Allen Path on the west side connecting to the new York Beltline Trail extension.

The Strreetcars downtown (which are different cars btw) don't use ATC (the software in question here), and the ION uses a different ATC system than the Crosstown will use.

While I was happy at first, I think this is a sign that the city has given up on this last portion of the trail between Marlee and the Allenway. Why build a fully separated bike lane all along Roselawn from the Allen Greenway to Marlee if youre going to use the part labelled "Future York...

Unfortunately its just a terrible scan. Theres things that can be done, but nothings better than scanning the photo properly in the first place. Sad that a lot of these sorts of museums are run with people who are good intentioned and often working volunteer, but havent the slightest clue of how...

Werent they talking about 14 car trains on the Milton Line? As this was the only way to deal with demand. I thought thats why we bought those insane 5400HP locos for. Maybe thats changed since they are looking to add all day-ish service to Milt.
