RE: Grand River Transit - timio - 08-24-2016 Math 3 at uWaterloo. The latest math building. RE: Grand River Transit - Markster - 08-24-2016 This is some new information!
A major private development? I wonder what the scale of this proposed terminal and development is! RE: Grand River Transit - rangersfan - 08-24-2016 What does he mean by 2 mil? That the developer would be contributing 2 million dollars to a project for public benefit( a public good)? Could this development already have been approved? This is both confusing and intriguing. RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 08-24-2016 I think he might mean that $2m of the Ontario/Fed transit funding announced yesterday is going into the terminal, but that it wil be integrated into a private development. RE: Grand River Transit - GtwoK - 08-24-2016 Where is there room for any sort of private development at Block Line? (that could conceivably be integrated with the station, at least) RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 08-24-2016 (08-24-2016, 04:19 PM)GtwoK Wrote: Where is there room for any sort of private development at Block Line? (that could conceivably be integrated with the station, at least) If a retaining wall is built, between the railway property at the bottom of the hill and the LRT tracks. I seem to recall a development proposal for that land, several years ago. It seems it may finally have come to fruition. RE: Grand River Transit - Pheidippides - 08-25-2016 Updated to include funding per rider basis: RE: Grand River Transit - rangersfan - 08-26-2016 It doesn't seem like Mr. Galloway provided anymore details on the project at Brockline?

Perhaps he can't, at the moment. RE: Grand River Transit - rangersfan - 08-26-2016 This is what I suspect. RE: Grand River Transit - dunkalunk - 08-26-2016 From Tom Galloway on Twitter:
https://twitter.com/tomjgalloway14/status/768547262544744449 RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 08-26-2016 Sounds like they're truly replacing the Forest Glen terminal with this. RE: Grand River Transit - rangersfan - 08-26-2016 Is the Forest Glen terminal fairly busy? RE: Grand River Transit - KevinL - 08-26-2016 (08-26-2016, 11:06 AM)rangersfan Wrote: Is the Forest Glen terminal fairly busy? Yes. Both directions of 12 and 22, termini of the 3, 11, 16, 33, 201. Pretty much all of these routes will be altered at Ion launch, however; some will be directed away, others will connect at the Strasburg/Block Line intersection instead.

From conversations with GRT staff, I know they also has plans for a terminal at Sunrise Centre. If you look closely in the business plan, you'll see Route 22 and the Ottawa iXpress diverted onto International Pl and internal roadways. It also appears that Stanley Park Terminal will still be in operation, although it only really only affects the efficiency of Route 20 compared to Block Line Terminal which makes every route serving SW Kitchener circuitous. |
