While it's good to have that spot leased, I think this is a missed opportunity to add some density to that intersection. They could easily demolish that building and build something 3 storeys there. Most of the other buildings on that intersection are 3 storeys. The 'Neolook Accessories' store...

Anyone know why Maple Crete is randomly replacing sidewalks along Broadview for the past few weeks? I didn't mind the temporary bike lane up Broadview, but have to wonder why they are replacing parts at random. I thought at first that they might be making modifications in anticipation of the new...

Honestly, I wont even go that way in fear of seeing Pennywise! http://www.torontosun.com/2016/08/16/pennywise-the-clown-revealed-in-full-costume

Time will tell but I was surprised that Pizzaiolo would choose that location given that there is an established Pizza Pizza nearby....

The hoarding came down yesterday and they seemed to be having or setting up for a grand opening. They will likely be open for business by Monday, if not today (Friday).

I could see something like prairie girl bakery being a perfect fit for this location as they already have a location in the Path that is small and the product is delivered throughout the day.

Whenever I hear micro retail I think of the units in Aura. This is somewhat untested in Toronto. While it may have precedent in Europe, Toronto is not Europe and retailers have little experience in scaling their operations this small enmasse. I do hope iam wrong, and that this works out.

I believe BMW had an I3 at the autoshow this year that was built in a zero emissions plant and the interior was made of 100% recycled materials. It looked just as good as any other BMW if not better. Also Tesla has a product called the powerwall that can store enough solar power to charge your...

The war memorial has been relocated to the area beside the elevators (richmond st side) on the first floor (ground floor).

I was surprised to see the newly opened starbucks closed yesterday. There was a lengthy (8 or 9 people) lineup at the Tim Hortons. .... I know there would be decreased demand in the York Concourse on the weekend and there are other options, but I still think that Starbucks could operate (at a...

This development seems to be moving at warp speed to me atleast. I can't think of any similar scale projects that have moved along this fast..... Perhaps it just seems fast by comparison to 10 York and ICE .

That was my thought all along, since they originally announced the start of construction. They should have built temporary stations on either side at esplanade/Jarvis and Spadina and then completely demolished the entire block (kaboom!) .... perhaps only keeping the facade of the great hall...

That's okay 'cause I'll have both hands free in my self-driving car to throw stuff at them if they try anything that slows my car down. My guess is that self-driving vehicles wont solve the road rage problem, might even make it worse.

Perhaps when the new ferry terminal is complete?

So if that is indeed the case - that you can get stranded "in the middle of nowhere" - then I suppose their rationale for the overdraft system is to reduce their liability should someone freeze to death stranded in said "middle of nowhere". However, while having overdraft may mitigate the...

Thank nfitz, No I wasn't aware. While i've seen bus driver on GO accept cash to load money onto the cards I hadn't considered the other bus systems. I suppose the municipal bus drivers wouldnt have time to load cash fares. In all honesty, I cant recall the last time I was on a municipal bus.

Thanks, I thought Urban Toronto, and its senior members, were interested in attracting traffic from all segments for discussions on this forum, but perhaps it's for the exclusive use of those more educated and careful with every word than I. You mean the printed in the agreement that 99% of...

You're right nfitz, the sum they collect from my overdraft probably wont cover the amount of people that would overdraft and throw out their card. So why do overdraft at all. Why not have it as $0 mean $0 or if I have $2.50 on my card it denies my entry at the gate. Thereby the people that are...

Okay TOareaFan ill be more careful with the exact words I use so as not to raise your objection, but my point was is that having any 'fee' (regardless of it being stated in the fine print of the user agreement) other than the fee for service 'the fare', is going beyond the mandate or purpose of...

Well, if they charge me a 0.25 overdraft fee and every other lazy sloth like me then ill bet their collecting a tidy sum in overdraft fees. Its not like I wanted an 'overdraft' if there is less than the fare left on my card then it should decline my entry at the gate period and not go into...
