Talk:The Big Move

Map of proposed changes?

I originally made this comment on the MoveOntario 2020 page, but given that The Big Move succeeds it, it might be worthwhile re-asking it here.

I've been thinking about this for a while and I think it might be useful to make a map showing all of the proposed changes. I'm not sure what the easiest way to do this and Google Maps might offer the best solution, but if someone is interested in making that, that would be brilliant! I have a hard time visualizing all of these proposals, so a map would be a great way to add value to this page (and likely many others). Yaminator ^talk 00:16, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

I agree, but I just haven't had the time. What we basically need is a recreation of Schedules 1 and 2 (pages 92 and 94) of the Big Move document, along with the revisions that were made this year. The only progress I have made is listing all the projects and wikilinking them. --Natural R_X 11:10, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Agreed! I hadn't realized that there was a map in that document. That's very helpful. The tables you have are brilliant and would add a lot of value to the pages. Perhaps some sort of mockup in Google Maps would be possible? It wouldn't be the most sophisticated design, but it would at least be rather clean/ simple. Yaminator ^talk 22:50, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

The issue with using Google is it wouldn't be free content. I would like to make it myself using Inkscape, but I just don't have enough free time. I think we need to reach out to a Wikipedian who does this regularly, and is skilled with putting these things together. --Natural R_X 22:43, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

P.S. There is now a navbox for Big Move projects: {{Big Move Project}}. I'm preparing it for rollout soon. --Natural R_X 22:44, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

Showing its age

The Big Move is dead (and has been for a while), long live The Big Move.

There is no article for the Metrolinx 2041 Regional Transportation Plan. I think it makes sense to group the two into the same article, since 2041 is TBM but with some extra additions and modifications rather than a fully new plan. If anyone prefers to make a separate page for it, let me know for sure, but otherwise I'm going to start putting some effort into comparing the two and outlining the differences. Once the article is more up to date, I'll propose a page move. JaredTamana (talk) 06:20, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

Sorry... if you mean you want to move this page to Metrolinx 2041 Regional Transportation Plan, then yes, HUGE objections. This article should be preserved for the historical info in it. So yes, feel free to make a new page if you have sufficient verifiable and reliable 3rd party sources for the 2041 plan (if it's basically only self-sourced, then its info should be included in a section in the Metrolinx article). —Joeyconnick (talk) 16:28, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

@Joeyconnick No need to apologize, I anticipated this viewpoint and this is why I put out the comment :) I will get researching and drafting in either a separate page or the Metrolinx page, thank you for your input. JaredTamana (talk) 00:14, 11 August 2025 (UTC)
