In case you werent aware theres an open mayoral position so you don’t need to play arm chair city planner.
So to get this straight, you are on an urban planning forum, for a specific project, and are mad someone is making a comment about the planning behind a said project?
We have two grade separated rapid transit lines?
This doesn’t really count but Mississauga has the UP Express and will get the Line 5 extension at Renforth.
You randomly come on Mississauga forums once in a blue moon and consistently trash it. Surely there’s better ways of spending your time. You aren’t adding to the conversation.
If you're referring to this project, it is literally a few hundred meters from a rapid transit line under construction.
Quite the conspiracy, anything else for us? Maybe some thoughts on flying orbs or lizard people in the centre of the earth?
*Grade separated* is the very important element that in my opinion disqualifies the HU LRT from being rapid transit as with the exception of the 403 flyover, the tunnel into port credit and the future tunnel into brampton it runs at grade. Time is everything and even the most optimistic run times for the line come nowhere near to the speed that say, Line 1, under Yonge delivers. However imo the Lakeshore West line will very soon be a true rapid transit line with sub 15 minute frequencies and an unimpeded right of way. My much more optimistic reference to a second grade separated transit line is about the Milton Line, which if provincial promises are to believed will be brought up to the same standards as the LW, LE and KT GO lines, thus becoming rapid transit.
The Lakeshore West line, and if it can't be considered true rapid transit today it absolutely will be within the decade.
Besides port credit won’t even let 40s be built. No luck, thoughts or prayers are going to get a 50 built.
