climate-change...

Canadians need to brace themselves for an influx of eco-migrants over the next century, Feltmate warned — people who are fleeing their homelands because they are simply too hot.

Environment Canada modelling suggests the average summer temperature across Ontario between 2041 and 2070 will be 3.5 C higher than it was between 1981 and 2010. The city of Toronto has modelling from 2011 that showed between 2000 and 2010 there were on average 20 days over 30 C, and with climate change that will more than triple to 66 days by 2040.

Rolf Campbell, a weather historian behind the Twitter account "YOW Weather Records," says Ottawa hit its highest-ever humidex measurement on Sunday: 47.2 C. Temperatures in Ottawa have gone above 32 C for five days in a row, the longest heat wave since 2001. With the forecast set to hit 35 C on Wednesday, a six-day heat wave would be the longest since 1944.

The 10-year vision also calls for: “Upgrade capacity” to Canada Line “through the purchase of new rail cars to provide more service, upgrades to stations, and expansion of facilities.”

Canada Line capacity is presently handicapped by past decisions to single-track the line to Brighouse station and building shortened platforms. In the short-term TransLink has ordered 12 new trains to be in place by 2020. Peak frequency on the main line (from Bridgeport station to Waterfront station) will increase from three minutes and 20 seconds to two-and-a-half minutes.

"An ultimate system design capacity of 15,000 pphpd can be achieved when all station platform lengths are extended from 40 metres to 50 metres to accommodate a three-car-long train. The station platforms can only reach a maximum length of 50 metres due to the design of the system.

In contrast, the Expo Line currently has peak period traffic flows of over 15,000 pphpd and its ultimate design capacity is at least 25,000 pphpd with additional trains." https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/new-canada-line-trains-design-2020
