Among the future expansion plans, the article lists a station named "Cawartha", both in the article text and in one of the diagrams. As far as I know, there is no such street. I'm guessing this is a misspelling of Cawthra Street, which does exist and does cross the proposed subway line. I'd like to get peer approval before I change it though, since I don't know for sure (I'm not an authority on TTC stuff). Anyone? Tronno 06:15, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- I think you're right. It makes a lot of sense to me given that there is no "Cawartha Street" (with a "c".) Ground Zero | t 14:46, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- FYI--Cawthra ROAD is a North-South road in Mississauga, a former concession road in the southern section of the former Toronto Township between Eglinton and Lakeshore.....At Dundas, the intersection was bridged in the 1980s, and the CP tracks (and Milton GO line) is nearby.....
BTW, when the 403 turns west south of Eglinton (from 401/410 southwards), it is the Cawthra Road allowance that proceeds south to Lakeshore. Bacl-presby 17:29, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, Road, sorry... :) I'll go ahead and fix it then. Tronno 17:46, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- And... done. Clear your cache to see the new diagram. Tronno
[edit] Expansion potential - Milton GO Station?
It's a bit confusing, but the TTC's RTES actually has "Milton GO Line" in block letters by the stop rather than "Milton GO Station", which isn't even in Mississauga (it's the terminus station in Milton). Since Dixie is also on the Milton GO line, I'm not sure why the TTC didn't call the stop Cooksville, but I've changed the name in this article anyhow to clarify which GO station it actually is. --AHrvojic 19:09, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- Oops our mistake, I'll change my map ASAP. --Yllianos 21:11, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Why have the Bloor-Danforth western extensions been added to the Stations Template and the Wikipedia in general? It's listed as a low-priority extension, and one that doesn't have that many fans both in the TTC and Mississauga Transit, so why bother? The Spadina extension should be up there because it looks like it might be completed.
[edit] Reverse list/image?
The middle of this page has a list of stages in a table right next to a map of the line. The map (from top to bottom) is from East to West, while the table starts from the West to East. It's rather disorienting. Could either the table be reversed or the image be replaced with one that is vertically flipped (with the proper oriented wording of course)
[edit] East Mall Extension Proposal
I recent read Spacing Wire which is talking about the East Mall proposal made by the area. Anyways, maybe just a slight mention of it? I would do it, but I wouldn't know what to say. Here's the sritcle: http://spacing.ca/wire/?cat=8 and the source of the article: http://www.insidetoronto.ca/to/etobicoke/story/3683564p-4258296c.html?loc=etobicoke --Yllianos 15:06, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
