14000 feet is 4.3km. Concession roads are about 2.1km apart from each other

No, the streetcar would run through there. https://www.toronto.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/92a6-Broadview-EA-ESRFINAL-2023-11-22AODA.pdf

I think the extensions are more comparable to the 400 HOV lanes, the 404 HOV lane extension, or the 400 widening through Barrie

I would guess it's because the owners think they will be expropriated to widen the highway one of these decades. An expropriation would not compensate them for the full cost of a renovation, so they are avoiding renovating since they don't know how long they would be able to enjoy the benefits.

I find it interesting that they are keeping a bus terminal at Pape. I wonder what bus routes will run there after the Ontario Line opens.

GO Transit is fully provincial. If you're going to blame someone for fiscal incompetence for not having built a provincial station on a provincial rail line, perhaps that should be the province.

I think opening only the surface section would overwhelm feeder bus capacity at Don Mills/Eglinton, where incidentally Metrolinx has decided to demolish the new bus terminal without opening it, so I don't think that's a good idea.

Nothing's gone wrong with the Ontario Line yet -- setting aside demolition of Ontario Place, shuttering of the Ontario Science Centre, clearcutting of Osgoode Hall, bad transfer design at Osgoode, incompatible vehicle technology, an entirely unnecessary surface alignment in Riverdale, and...

Moscow's language distinguishes between navy blue and sky blue with two equally common words, in a way that our language doesn't. No excuse for Moscow duplicating the greens, though. 😆

St. Catharines, Niagara on the Lake, and the wine country in between are extremely flat, which makes for a reasonable bike ride from Port Weller for plodding types. The side roads are also nice because they are both flat and free of car traffic if it's specifically the wineries that you are...
