    Forum Issues Since Relaunch (Jan 20, 2010)

    How do I switch back to the normal, non-mobile version? The only way I could find was to delete all the cookies from urbantoronto.ca and return to the page.

    Forum Issues Since Relaunch (Jan 20, 2010)

    The header image is really wide (1193 pixels). The layout of the site seems to assume our browser window is 1280px wide. (no bigger, no smaller). I prefer to have a few windows visible at once, so I like to be able to resize my windows smaller without sites requiring a lot of horizontal...

    Toronto Hullmark Centre | 167.94m | 45s | Tridel | Kirkor Architects

    I was chatting with Councillor Filion about this project a few weeks ago, and he said that the developers were pushing hard to have video screens on this project. He was very against video screens and his reason was "Yonge and sheppard is not yonge and dundas"

    saveoursubways (SOS)

    I'm interested in helping any way I can. I'm not a graphic designer but I have a computer science background know html/css/javascript etc. I'd be willing to contribute a bit of money to get some flyers printed. I live near Yonge and sheppard and think that the Sheppard subway should go from...

    Restaurants near Yonge/Sheppard

    What kind of place are you looking for? I live in the area and I usually go for takeout from Gol (Iranian food on Spring Garden), bar burrito, shwarma max, or quiznos. Gol is pretty good value I find, It's around $6 for two koobideh kebabs and a lot of rice, and a pop. I've had lunch a...

    I don't have any experience renting a luxury car like this, but GTA exotics might have what you are looking for: http://gtaexotics.ca/dev/

    Virgin Festival 2009

    If you like Canadian indie music the Wolfe Island Music festival is worth checking out. I went last year and it was great, Jason Collett, Plants and Animals, The Acorn, Wintersleep and Cadence Weapon all put on great shows. I thought Plants and Animals were especially amazing. The line up...

    Transglobe Property Management

    Transglobe are horrible. They buy up really old and run down buildings, put some new carpet in the halls and brand the buildings with their hideous blue logos. Their buildings often have leaks, bedbugs and other problems, and it takes forever for things to get fixed. Their management seems...

    Sheppard Stubway

    Another advantage of this plan is that we could use blue to represent the DRL if the RT is scrapped.

    my walk from Bloor to the lake

    Thanks everyone. Sure Ed, you can use any of my pictures. I agree with the comments about the CN tower. It was hard not to include it in many shots, and it makes a lot of them more interesting. I forget which store that display with all the cameras looking at the shoes was at. I think...

    Vancouver Art Gallery to receive prime Vancouver waterfront site for a new gallery

    Maybe this is immature, but VAG is a hilarious name. I bet kids get pretty excited about field trips to the VAG. I know I could spend quite a lot of time exploring the VAG etc..

    CSIO: Canadian Sport Institute of Ontario (Markham Centre; Pan Am Games Project)

    This could be quite an asset to the GTA, and it's located near "downtown" Markham, Viva and GO transit. I hope it includes some indoor track facilities. There don't seem to be a lot of details at all. What types of sporting facilities will be there? Where will everyone park? That YMCA...

    my walk from Bloor to the lake

    I decided to burn off some of my thanksgiving dinner, and enjoy the beautiful weather this afternoon, so I went on a walk from Bloor to the Waterfront. Unfortunately my camera doesn't work too well after dropping it a few times, so a lot of my pictures didn't turn out. Here are some of the...

    Transit City: Finch-Sheppard Corridor

    Voltz, I'm curious how you came to that conclusion. What stats are you looking at, and are you familiar with the area at all? Some of the East-West bus routes in the area are pretty busy: 85 Sheppard East: 28 300 passengers per day 190 Scarborough Centre Rocket: 8200 39 Finch East and...

    Transit City: Finch-Sheppard Corridor

    I agree, Sheppard should run from Downsview to STC and that is it. If I remember correctly, the East part of Sheppard has nothing along it but back yard fences, then it runs through the rouge valley and curves south towards Kingston Rd. What I am not clear on is the intent of this...

    Transit City: Finch-Sheppard Corridor

    That would be a really expensive solution to provide a one seat ride from the east to the west. I don't think a small transfer at Yonge street would be that much of an inconvenience. I doubt this is very technically feasible either, since it would be quite a narrow turning radius from Sheppard...

    Transit City: Finch-Sheppard Corridor

    I'm also curious to hear if option 2 is really being considered. It seems to make too much sense. Downsview to Kennedy would very useful. The 190 rocket between Kennedy/Sheppard to STC would be a pretty quick trip, and the subway could eventually be extended to STC once more funding comes...
