Give me a link to a place that has the green developments and I'll see if I can work something out.

as far as I can tell, there's only the one main section at the front of the site:

It would make sense to have some locals with this heading too imo.

I noticed today that the City has placed up special "B-Line" signs up on certain bus stops at McMaster. Probably all stops that the B-Line makes will have these new signs. I'll try and get a picture of the sign today.

Yep. I've noticed them, too!
They're blue signs posted above the regular HSR signs that say "B-Line" on them.
I've seen one at Eastgate and at Queenston/Parkdale... I hope no one gets the "B-Line" mixed up with "10-A Express" :s hahaha so many letters!

SteelTown · #**185** Posted **Jan 8, 2008, 8:58 PM**

*ahem*.....and where is your photo update on the Eastgate terminal mister?! lol

DC83 · #**186** Posted **Jan 8, 2008, 10:56 PM**

^^ haha They still don't have the tarp up... but everything else is done I guess.
I really need to get on that :s haha

raisethehammer · #**187** Posted **Jan 8, 2008, 11:37 PM**

the HSR will get the tarp up once spring is here and the cold, snow and rain are just about done.

DC83 · #**188** Posted **Jan 9, 2008, 12:59 PM**

^^ OH, it's NOT Spring?? hahahaha
well I must be in Vancouver or something!?

Is the tarp not supposed to be protecting us from these elements?

If not why bother put it up?

the new BLine Express bus stop signs are cool. I'm glad they went with that design...almost has a retro feel to it. Very unlike the HSR . Usually their graphics and logos are cheeseball city.
I think they got this logo from Dave Kurucs B Line Hybrid design.

Here's a picture from my cell phone....B-Line Express

nice sign..fits a little too awkwardly though..be better if they were more flush with the original bus stop signage.

raisethehammer · #**193** Posted **Jan 10, 2008, 3:31 AM**

actually when you see it on a city street it stands out a little from the usual bus stop sign. Makes it more noticeable. I like.

matt602 · #**194** Posted **Jan 10, 2008, 7:43 AM**

Aye, it's very noticeable. I think they're also re-doing the bus stop at John/Main for the Beeline. It's getting a lot bigger and the roof is blue. It's actually the largest bus stop I've seen in Hamilton, outside of terminals.

Or maybe they just painted it blue and it's the same size that I never noticed.

Or maybe it's neither and I'm on crack

DC83 · #**195** Posted **Jan 10, 2008, 1:42 PM**

^^ hahaha No Crack, you're right!!

The stop at John/Main has a new shelter, and ya it's huge.
But it looks kinda ghetto? I dunno if it's done or still in the process of being put together, but it's looking pretty shady right now.

The roof IS blue (and black) and it has a curved roof... I don't remember if the old one did or not tho!?

raisethehammer · #**196** Posted **Jan 10, 2008, 3:36 PM**

geez...it IS ghetto. what the frig is that thing??

hahaha I'm assuming you just saw it, rth?? haha

I'm hoping it's still "under construction", but who knows. It's missing a cpl window panels, so I'm assuming this is the case.

matt602 · #**198** Posted **Jan 10, 2008, 5:12 PM**

I'm not even sure myself. I never actually saw them "building" it, I just noticed it looked different one day. I don't think it's done yet though, it is missing window panels on the side facing the downtown Mac building, and I think they're not done painting it.

raisethehammer · #**199** Posted **Jan 10, 2008, 5:19 PM**

ya, just saw it today. brutal....they can't be done yet. i guess we'll see.
