I'd assume the entire thing would be financed by the redevelopment of existing land on the ground, that will be replaced by the tunnel. I don't see a way to similarly finance HSR.
It's utterly bizarre. Good grief, if you are dropping that kind of money, you do it on the Gardiner/DVP or build a completely new alignment. Not widen one of the biggest highways in the world, that already overwhelms intersecting arteries.
It only serves as a Toronto bypass - and we already...
I've been on the Internet for 30 years, and I've never seen it before. I'm very surprised that one would use it and not reword in Canadian English if it's (obviously) causing confusing.
Other internet slang comes to mind. Spam. Trolling ...
Did they have one there? I'd hope the (increasingly poor) Gateway next to the Hockey Hall of Fame would have one. And I'd be very surprised if the (non-PATH) International News on the south side of Front between Church and Market didn't have it - which has one of the better magazine selections...
I have not said that. Where did I say that. I said that you shouldn't have to fight Metrolinx to get a fair first offer.
I've also said that you shouldn't have to flush a toilet 3 times to get the crap to go down the pipe. That doesn't however mean that I've personally had that problem. There...
Ah, I assumed they were going to simply leave them in semi-permanent 5-car consists, similar to how they did with the Turbo rolling stock. I hadn't realised this was going to be mix-and-match.
I have no idea what you are trying to say here.
All I asked above (I'll kindly thank you for not putting words in my mouth) is:
What are these receipts you are talking about?
I found it useful to get into the RBC building, without having to deal with the crowds of the subway, on a rainy day
Gosh, I haven't been in the retail level of the Royal York since the tunnel closed! But from the other photos, it looks like it's still there. Ironically I spent more time down...
Operationally, how is it going to work, once it is all Ventures, and 7-car trains are being replaced by 5-car trains (I thought I've seen more than 7 recently though). Or are we going to see some 10-car Venture consists.
Receipts of what? There's probably been significant change in market value since those houses were bought. Perhaps you aren't aware that house sale values are available for most properties online - well all properties if you want to pay $5 or so to the government's current vendor.
Ah!! I get it...
You shouldn't have to fight Metrolinx to get a fair first offer.
Wasteland? What are you referring too? Should be uplift right next to a subway station.
Better development opportunities.
Which will always lead to complaints about Ford favouring developers. Which in some cases I don't think is the case. And if influence is happening on this file, I'd think it's happening more at Verster's level, or one of his minions.
All this "they can't do anything because of the law" ignores that the law is something the federal government can change (though I can't see that they will).
As long as there is width in a corridor (and there invariably is - except perhaps on the Kingston Sub between Eastern and Pape - thanks...
