wat? Someone hasnt heard of induced demand I guess.

RIP to 100km of bike lanes in 2 years. Dont think theres any road where you can build a bike lane now. As for the election call, The feds arent doing one till next october, so Ford can wait till mid next year he simply wants to avoid PP's effect on him

actually you know what this is probably more likely

at this point, were still on track for 2031-2032

friday announcement? its an announcement that it wont open until mid next year

24/7 work is nice. 4 months for full excavation? thats fast

Back when that rumored discontinuation of the UPexpress brand there were theories about a bridge to connect to the platforms instead to use GO services. Could be the same thought. That bridge on yonge is curious though

Yea ive seen theese in Whitby too, Its just the lazy way of building bike lanes in suburbia. Always making sure no car lanes are lost

In this case its weird, but for high traffic areas that have bike lanes like adelaide and richmond, running on the bike lane instead of being stuck behind people walking does kinda make sense to me, Even the MGT has some of this

LOL wifi on the trains.

LOL

quite interesting writeup. Funny the minister says "yea those costs arent realistic anymore" 25$ billion hfr only anyone? They make a note that a blended HSR/HFR is probable on different sections of the route HFR canada says that it may actually not be all-electric and battery or diesel...

Basically because the 407 exists, every mention of a toll road in ontario at least is impossible. For example even the 412 and 418 were like $0.3/km before they were removed. the government owned highways were bad too.

https://globalnews.ca/news/10758173/ontario-transportation-legislation-gridlock-focus/ While its not for sure, the article mentions double decking the gardiner, or tunneling it. Either way, this thing is going to suck up billions more to "fix" congestion Im already rolling my eyes edit: on...

None of our BRT's are much better than a regular bus line. I dont count that as "rapid transit"

I mean sure if you build at-grade lrt of course its cheaper, but i straight disagree that makes it the option we need to continue building. Look at the crosstown thread, every day theres someone like "we should have elevated it"/ Like yea lol. Tunneling is needed, its not like we can avoid it...

ehhhh at over a billion per km? Not how i would describe it. But it is good we are finally building higher level transit again We really need to start looking at the next stage of transit expansion though

whats with that L shaped box, is that the tbm launch site?

wow excavation is moving fast. The station is 30m deep here correct?
