Rail Line

rail line: Issue: Infrastructure/Transit: How to make it easier to get around Toronto, according to The Star. A rail line that for certain segments runs one way, or stubs off the main branch line. A rail line that comes to the surface only when needed or when prohibitively expensive to bury. Most of the line would be cut and cover instead of expensive tunnelling. Storm sewers, gas, water and sanitary sewers are installed at the same time to minimize construction disruption. The DRL could be such a system, running westbound on one street, and eastbound on a nearby street below. A one-way line could have a parallel track for maintenance use, going around broken trains or a parallel express line stopping at every five stops and Name: Brian Jay Whats the big idea: What if Toronto redefined the requirements of a subway, or underground transit. Compare the Sheppard line with all of its open spaces, full-size subway cars, two-way straight-line rail lines. What if we re-think to a smaller size of whatever is placed underground to reduce costs? (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
