Ford initially wanted crosstown all the way to STC underground then above ground in Scarbrough. He just wants transit and traffic separated.

Mississaugas downtown is hardly an employment downdown. In terms of jobs it is the #5 zone in Mississauga, airport, medowvale, heartland, the Oakville/Mississauga QEW zone are all larger and higher paying employment zones vs Square one. Real downtown's are the biggest zone for employment, that...

Has anyone confirmed what they are doing in the old theatre wing? I can't find any permit info, but it looks like it will be closed until Sept /Oct.

One issue with this is some of these were not needed. The Eglington line for example should have never been approved. At the time the experts wanted a dedicated bus line that could be converted to an LRT. Politics brought us the original Eglington Subway. Even today an LRT is sufficient for...

Who did I pin against each other, I was replaying to a comment stating downtown hasn't had a new stop in decades. Most of the city hasn't, which is our cities biggest issue. The entire city needs better transit. Most citizens don't care, they just want there commute to be easier. Which is...

Not to say Downtown shouldn't have the DRL (and more), that is not really a fair comparison. Downtown has had several service improvements, and trials. Weathers its the ATC, new street cars for capacity, Spadina going lane dedicated, king street pilot etc. Scarbourgh hasn't seen a new subway...

Sheppard was built before it was needed, and built for political reasons on top of that (much like most of our recent transit announcements). The south end of sheppard will soon be nothing but condo's and those people will be taking this subway. The bigger issue is how limited the subway is...

The issue is, there are several pressing needs for the city. DRL is one. But something in Scarborough is as well. Another one, which people don't talk about much is the whole park lawn/lakeshore area with tons of new residents, its 10-12 KM from the downtown core and takes an hour on the TTC...

Wonderland is closed from November and opens late April. So you have access to park 6 months a year, you can't close a parking lot for commuters 6 months a year, every year. Just would not work. Plus for transit, there is substantially more needs vs spending money here. Just improve bus...

The one issue in Mississauga (where I live) is that we don't get news coverage for our projects. Most people still don't really know what the LRT is and how it will be put into the system. Not even sure if people know they are losing a lane on Hurontario, the 403 - Dundas section can take 15...

For most people the city does not end just at the Toronto borders, we are one region. Companies need people from every section of the GTA to find people, and getting people to and from work around the GTA should be pushed daily. That means the TTC should expand to where service can easily be...

The airport does 1.6 Million people, 600,000 people less than Billy Bishop in Toronto. It would be nice to have it going to the airport, right now there is no need. Put the money into getting people from where they live to work and school today.

Miniso will be opening in the mall some time in March.

They better put a price on the train for riders before they do anything significant. Go transit passes from the GTA suburbs push $400/month. If this is higher than that, it won’t be a commuter line. If it need’s massive government subsidies, it won’t get built.

It is a major trend. https://www.retail-insider.com/retail-insider/2017/8/restaurants-in-malls-trend Also interesting to see Lindt chocolate will be opening in the mall fairly shortly. If you buy there make sure you get the coupons online. Or jut drive to there outlet in Mississauga. With...

Bombarider and Seimens are currently in the process to set up a joint venture to bid on all future operation tenders to compete with the Chinease. So Bombardier won't be bidding on the next Go transit operations, this new joint venture would be. Really when you only have a handful of players...

I don't like how the Star is comparing this to TTC or Go, those two have high daily ridership for people commuting to work. UP is a specialized service, it will always need a high per person subsidy. Look at Via, it gets a massive per person subsidy - where are all the complaints about that...

Tory Burch is coming into the high wing next to the Porsche Dealershhip. But I do agree, too many empty stores popping up and taking way too long to fill them. Last month both boathouse and BCBG closed, rather large prominent footprints. Next month express is gone, again large prominent...

Just to add in, Kingston 6 North bay 4 Sudbury 7 Timmins 5 Sarnia 4 Thunder Bay 7 Salut st Marie 4 Double those for arrivals and departures. Every level of flying is increasing at Pearson, since most people now transfer to it if they have go elsewhere. We also have new taxes. In 2011 8%...

Thanks - I'm only semi new. Used to post a couple years ago when I worked for bombardier, no idea what my log in or email I used was. So I'm back - bombardier free this time.
