Inside scoop is that it will open well in time for the September 2019 school rush.

Nope. The only thing in the way to complete that park is the south part of the Lowe's building and parking lot. SmartCentres will work with Lowes to relocate.

I was so hoping for the Jetsons-like flying cars once the project is completed, as per their advertising.

Nor any team colours. Unless the home team at that time was called the Grey Socks. LOL.

Link, please.

The Smart Centres letter refers to a "current vacancy" at Millway and Hwy 7. That doesn't sound like it refers to undeveloped land, but you might be right. The letter has that sense of urgency in it that suggests that Smart Centres won't wait for a new office to be built for them. I think...

This makes me wonder, now, who actually paid for the "To Subway" sign on the east side of the Home Outfitters building. It does make sense for Smart Centres to move there, as it is a building they built completely for retail, but in a unique two-storey way, and, if their plan pans out, it would...

So it may just be that if you get a few people to stand just in the right positions, you could write words on it. Offensive words. Like the art installation at TTC Pioneer Village station. Then they'll pull the plug.

Ha! I'm not much of a movie-goer and the title doesn't ring a bell. But, thanks, you're making me look it up.

Finally an admission of what we've been reporting here for months. It is good to hear them give some detail on the why. By the way, regarding the gate manufacturer's name, Scheidt is sh!t in German. (Only half kidding.)

Exactly. I live in Georgetown and work near VMC. If I commuted with GO and ZUM 501, my commute, including walking, would be 2.5 hours, as opposed to 47 minutes driving on the 407. Isn't the main complaint of people that transit is not attractive because it takes 'way too long?

But for years already YRT has been actively promoting priority signalling as something that already exists. I believe they have directed the drivers not to activate the priority unless they're falling behind schedule. What that really means that YRT needs to push a more aggressive schedule. And...

I'm not a Viva rider but as a frequent driver on Hwy 7 I'll have to say, too, that I've never seen any evidence of signal priority anywhere along the actual BRT. That includes the short single lane under the 404, where signal lights control just the bus traffic. If the lane is clear for the...

But 48" is incompatible with the SuperLiner cars, so does Amtrak have two standards?
