And the creeping blandness continues. Just wait for someone to pop up and explain how this condo will somehow make the area more "vibrant".

I've noticed a number of these combination intake/exhaust pipes in various locations around the east end, particularly along Gerard Street. I asked an engineer I know who is very experienced in infrastructure projects and he thought that they were simply part of HVAC systems for buildings, but...

Would you be able to remove it for me? I'd like to post something but would prefer not to unnecessarily spam other threads to get my post count up.

^Yes, this is very frustrating for people who mostly lurk. Could the limit be removed for people with low post levels who've been members for over certain amount of time?

Not totally discounting the value of posting in this forum. Just pointing out a spot where you can communicate directly with those who have the power to make a change :)

I would encourage people to fill out this online survey about policing from the province: https://www.ontario.ca/form/police-police-services-and-community-safety-survey Yes, there is a good chance that anything you write will be ignored, but it is probably a more productive use of your time...

I wonder if the engineer has been over to inspect the site recently. :rolleyes:

$650k plan to restore Mimico train station off the rails, community group says An Etobicoke community group is demanding to know how $650,000 earmarked to help restore the century-old Mimico train station was spent. The group that runs the historic station on Royal York Road says all they're...

I've long noticed that there are city construction projects in his ward where the site gets set up, then no work is done for months and months on end. Somebody is making lots of money from all the equipment that is rented which then sits on site unused for an indefinite period. I can't prove...

Wait, is this guy seriously arguing that the concept of losing money on a condo is so outlandish that it doesn't even bear considering? Be afraid people, be very afraid.

By replacing everything with residential they are taking multi use communities and turning them into single use communities. I thought that mode of thinking was widely discredited, was it not? Once upon a time South Etobicoke (Mimico, New Toronto, and Long Branch) were very self contained...

Damn, am I the only one disappointed that Long Branch is losing an industrial area to yet more residential?

On the flipside, when I visited Italy last fall I saw plenty of posters all over the place. I'm certainly not going to say it was a highlight of my trip, but I found it interesting to look at theirs and compare them to what we've got (theirs were alot more political). If I'm traveling to...

I'm normally a lurker, but I felt compelled to weigh in on the whole TTC vs Metrolinx debate that seemed to be going on here. As a someone who has formerly worked at both organizations, I would have to say that I found the TTC to be overall a better and more professionally run place. That isn't...
