    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Yes, although they describe it as an east-west route, which is only tells half the story, and don't explain at all why it will divert riders from the Yonge line. They also say something about Toronto's Bus Transit City Plan. Bus Transit City?! Where have they been the last couple of years?

    Green Bin Waste Being Dumped in Regular Garbage

    Disposable Diapers From a Toronto Public Health bulletin, the estimated cost of diaper service is the same as for disposal diapers, about $1600 from birth to completion of toilet training. As far as the environmental impact, it says: Diaper Service - When they wear out, the diaper services...

    Green Bin Waste Being Dumped in Regular Garbage

    The solution is simple. These weight targets for a full truck were set before the green bin program, so garbage was much denser. The city waste services should simply set new weight targets based on the average density of our current garbage. Or base the load targets on volume, not weight...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | ?m | ?s

    Amen! Might even draw off drivers from the DVP, when they see the traffic coming to a standstill around Lawrence. "Hey, I could hop the subway at the next exit and avoid all this!"

    Rouge Bijou (Downtown Markham, Remington, 10 + 3x 7s, Quadrangle)

    I couldn't agree more with Unimaginative2 and Urban Shocker. The arcades just hide retail from the street. Probably explains why Harbourfront retail is so pathetic. Awnings, on the other hand, with wares displayed on the sidewalk, provide some shelter from the elements, while encouraging...

    Rouge Bijou (Downtown Markham, Remington, 10 + 3x 7s, Quadrangle)

    Hi Alex, If they are not just paying lip-service to a walkable community, they will need these low-end shops more than Guccis. High end shops are lovely, (if you have the cash), but they tend to be destinations most people only shop at occassionally, but are willing to go a fair distance to...

    Rouge Bijou (Downtown Markham, Remington, 10 + 3x 7s, Quadrangle)

    If they fill those condos before any retail is built, the residents will all establish car-dependant shopping patterns that will be hard to break. Why not let enterprizing small-businessmen operate out vans, stalls, portables, etc. until permanent shops are built? I'm not thinking of all...

    Liberty Village

    The west part of Liberty Village is pretty cool, but the east end is a) too disconnected from the rest of the city and b) dominated by a single use. Too fix a) I'd love to see Shaw Street extended over the Georgetown railway. When the tracts get lowered to create a grade separation at...
