Over the years, we've seen many advancements in paving techniques ... First there was Concrete (or was it Macadam?) Then there was Macadam (or was it...
Things are progressing fairly quickly. Between Manning and Provincial all the pavement on the westbound side has been stripped and seems to be being graded. As...
Stephan, do you have an updated link for your website? ... Provincial ... to ... if ... paved ... will ... is ... bridge, ... it ... side ... side. ... ...
Is it true that the plan for the demolition of the Gardiner will actually delete the Gardiner/DVP connection? Since the province downloaded the Gardiner...
... Welcome to ontroads... I believe the Gardiner was a municipal project from day one. Although it carried the designation of Hwy 2 in that route's later...
... I don't think it's entirely clear what exactly will be done - the Toronto Star published a map showing a 4 lane set of "ramps" (ie. about a kilometre or a...
Everyone likes comparing the Gardiner situation to that of San Francisco with its Embarcadero Freeway. Sure, they were both on the waterfront ... they were...
Personally, I think the situation of the Gardiner is rather a case of unfairness. The City of Toronto maintains and runs as we know the Don Valley Parkway, and...
Hiho, ... True. However, the problem remains that the land that the Gardiner currently runs over is reclaimed land/landfill. Tunnels and landfill tend to not...
Hiho, ... I don't think that's crazy at all. In fact, why not upload the DVP as well, and turn the QEW-Gardiner-DVP-404 route into one big continuous freeway?...
... A) Front Street Extension - would have to be revived. There's not enough space now to build a cut-and-cover tunnel next to the elevated expressway before...
... Well aware of that. But people see the Gardiner as the problem because this was built more recently. The tracks have been there for a long time (just be...
... I agree with a lot of what you say, however, the property tax rates in Mississauga are much higher than in Toronto itself. It may not seem nice, but...
... Oh yeah, I also agree with you about the Gardiner-DVP. They should be uploaded to the province (as should a bunch of other roads - the second round of...
... The ideal solution would actually include a downtown railway tunnel (just like the subway station, the railway platforms at Union Station would be...
After being on that section of Highway 7 this past long weekend, I can say it looks really nice having this first stage complete. In addition to with work...
I guess that makes sense, since downtown Ottawa is t'other way! Also amusing are the LGSs at the ends of the Highway 7 off-ramps with arrows that point...
While it's pretty nice for WB 401 traffic to have the new Stevenson Rd on/off ramps open to the public, I've been following the construction of the EB on/off...
I wonder how long it'll take for either municipalities like Toronto or the MTO to get rid of the downloaded King's Highway references? I'm referring to when...
Here are a few pics of downtown Lindsay, with lots of vintage King's Highway signs still in place. As far as I'm aware now, 7B/35B is now Kawartha Lakes 15 -...
Hiho, ... A very good question. But it appears that not only is nobody willing to spend the money to go out and remove obsolete signs, but in some cases ...
... While you're at it, feel free to mention how 'westbound' and 'eastbound' QEW is so very, very wrong. ... Don't do this, it angers Chris. By the way Chris,...
Personally I would rather have Carleton Place as the control city and not Toronto as the MTO uses. When 7 does get twinned (at least 50 years from now) to...
I personally would keep them. As drivers, business owners etc still refer to certain roads as whatever highway they are travelling or located on. If I ever...
... How about that compromise - a "formerly Hwy 2" sign plus the current name sings. The section of Markham Rd just north of Hwy 401 definitely needs some ...
I think the MTO decided to keep these signs in Toronto just for being in Toronto. As for Durham, as much as I hate downloaded highways (well some of them...
It's basically a matter of time. MTO has likely taken a stance where when the time comes to replace a sign, the former TKH designation gets removed. In some...
No, it's cause majority of the signs along the 401 in Toronto only date from the early-mid 90's when that standard became, well, standard. Any signage that is...
