RE: Grand River Transit - Elmira Guy - 07-16-2015 Okay, I know that site. Works well on my PC, but on my phone it doesn't auto-insert my address. Can't even find the street. :-D Thanks for your help. I know it can be done on the #8, and the Google Maps approach worked, if indeed a little "lacklustre". RE: Grand River Transit - taylortbb - 07-16-2015 (07-16-2015, 12:06 PM)Elmira Guy Wrote: Thanks Markster. I didn't notice that feature. If you're using a BB10 device you can install Google Maps for Android, that's what I did on my Z30. I followed the instructions at http://forums.crackberry.com/android-apps-amazon-store-apk-files-f413/google-play-store-blackberry-10-read-first-post-instructions-985344/ to get Google Play installed, which allows you access to the full range of Android apps. Then using Google Play I installed Google Maps. There's a few steps to getting Google Play installed, but I feel it was worth it. RE: Grand River Transit - Elmira Guy - 07-16-2015 Taylortbb Thanks very much! I'll give that a try! RE: Grand River Transit - Viewfromthe42 - 07-17-2015 So it seems that the iXpress stops are moving for the advancing King closure. I haven't checked what the southbound setup will look like, but for anyone who's seen Bridgeport's right hand lane in the afternoon, I'm curious how well - or poorly - it will work out that GRT is moving the stop from King at Bridgeport to Bridgeport at King. It's also a narrow sidewalk that will make waiting, or ramp loading, quite a pain for all involved. RE: Grand River Transit - Markster - 07-17-2015 They're moving the stop off of King St? Huh, I wonder why they're doing that. RE: Grand River Transit - tomh009 - 07-17-2015 (07-17-2015, 08:39 AM)Viewfromthe42 Wrote: (...) quite a pain for all involved. Many aspects of the LRT construction cause pain, whether for transit riders, car drivers, pedestrians or business owners. I think all of us here it will all be worth it: short-term pain for long-term gain.

Another option is to side load the snap application: http://crackberry.com/how-use-snap-blackberry-1021-install-android-apk-files http://redlightoflove.com/snap/ Nice thing about snap is that it's a native BB10 application so it won't cause the phone to lag so much like the Google play app. RE: Grand River Transit - Viewfromthe42 - 07-20-2015 (07-17-2015, 01:35 PM)tomh009 Wrote:(07-17-2015, 08:39 AM)Viewfromthe42 Wrote: (...) quite a pain for all involved. Absolutely, but this individual stop placement choice seems very poorly thought out, unnecessary, and only worse for all those involved. That said, as of this morning, the 200 was still stopping on King rather than Bridgeport. RE: Grand River Transit - timio - 07-26-2015 Concrete for the 204 iXpress stops has been placed for many of the stops along Victoria and Highland. I didn't see one at Westheights (east branch) and Highland, but it may be off to the side somewhere. RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 08-01-2015 Just got word on the #7 detours starting Tuesday due to the Park Street railway closure - route will be Victoria-Strange-Dominion-Park northbound, Park-Strange-Victoria southbound. RE: Grand River Transit - timio - 08-01-2015 No concrete pads placed at Highland / Westheights yet. There is reconstruction of that stretch of Highland for 2018 or 2019, so they may be holding off until after that time before putting in something permanent. RE: Grand River Transit - tomh009 - 08-02-2015 2019 would be an awfully long time to wait ... RE: Grand River Transit - timio - 08-02-2015 Mind you, there's no concrete pad or shelter on the Conestoga Mall-bound 202 iXpress stop on Westmount at Erb and that's been running for 2 years now.

It will be interesting to see a 40ft bus take right turn onto Strange Street from Victoria. Not a 90 degree turn. RE: Grand River Transit - Markster - 08-06-2015 The intersection handles it well. (Having watched it happen) That intersection is over-built, with large turn radius even for that movement. |
