    Roads: GTA West Corridor—Highway 413

    Does the north-south portion of 407 make 413 less effective for making the journey from Bolton to Burlington? Ignoring traffic, the distance is longer than taking 410/403. Also, does the lack of 413 joining with 407 and 401 in the east make it less effective as a bypass of bypass for the...

    Waterfront Transit Reset Phase 1 Study

    Would a Bay Street section be a likely prospal too or is that unlikely due to a larger traffic impact? Will be even more useful in the future during the Union and Queens Quay construction though. Edit: Read the report and Queens Quay lanes won't affect motor traffic lanes at all. 😍

    At the very least there should be concrete barriers on the opposite side of the sidewalk. The small curb and single thin post do no provide enough protection. There should be knee or chest high barriers like on YRT.

    Highway 401 Transit and Auto Tunnel

    Is having the 6 lanes in their final centre position with concrete barrier more costly than having them separated with a grass gap in between? Such as needing longer on and off ramp? Or are they other considerations like having it start off taking up more of the right of way rather than leaving...

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    Obviously there are elevators at each platform that bring the LRVs down underground to do maintenance and they are there to indicate the moving ground. ;)

    Downtown Markham

    I feel York Region and Metrolinx not prioritizing the completion of the Viva Rapidway from Birchmount to Unionville GO and Kennedy via YMCA Blvd (H3.4) is a major contributor to the slow down of Downtown Markham development and its expanding eastward. Rather than getting developers to pay for...

    They removed the Science Centre Station name. 🤣

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    There's an online portal at https://infrastructure-applicant.canada.ca/en/ for applying to these government programs? I would have thought that the TTC would have a direct contact at the federal government for these type of things rather than doing a submission online at a public site.

    I propose Eglindon and Sheppardon Stations. ;)

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    There's no pedestrian access to Triton Rd directly from the station, so people might go through Scarborough Town Centre to access destinations North of the station.

    Danforth Line 2 Scarborough Subway Extension

    Yes, in this post: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/danforth-line-2-scarborough-subway-extension.2975/page-1309#post-2004735

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Sheppard West to Bayview makes sense because that means a chance for Willowdale Station. :cool:

    407 Rail Freight Bypass/The Missing Link

    What are the cost differences between quad tracking CN York and CP Midtown?

    Finch West Line 6 LRT

    I know in this specific case both platforms were placed on the same side because of the grade changes on the other side of the intersection for the tunnel, but what are some other cases where placing both platforms on the same side is preferred? I've read before for YRT Viva stops (Allstate...

    Is this actually the intended designed use of the side of stairs for bikes?

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

    Is slowing at stations due to high platforms and lack of routing on passing tracks? Do low platforms have this safety concern too?

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    That's for the answer, but that only makes sense for the intersections that allow right turns on red. And even then, it wouldn't be safe for right turning traffic to go when the left turning traffic off the highway have left arrow priority as they might turn into the right lane. Also, this...

    Roads: Ontario/GTA Highways Discussion

    Something I've noticed with York Region roads on the opposite side of the intersection with highway off ramps will reduce from two lanes to one lane. I understand why they don't have left turn signals, as that would increase the number of separate signal phases and reduce traffic flow of the...

    You're thinking of the Bradford Bypass, which is more north. Did you mean 401?
