Oh if only I had money lying around like a multi-millionaire, i'd fork over the $1350 just to expose the city in full sight on their complete BS and get to the bottom of their rubbish decision. Nevertheless, definitely appreciate you doing the FOI @DSC

The First Capital development is pretty much the only hope of that (minus the part that Pemberton). We already know the type of garbage Marlin Spring will bring to the table, and Pemberton will bring a level of garbage marginally better but overall almost the same as well.

Agreed i'm not holding my breath at all. I'm sure all that red will be stripped away with dark grey or black in very short order.

This is true, but I will say that the TTC has really slowed down door closing on various vehicles over the years: -The H6 subway trains had relatively quick door closing, the T1's close slower than the H6's, the TR's close even slower than the T1's. -With the streetcars they slowed down the...

Here's a post I made a few weeks ago about how screwed up of a firm they are in the Ontario Line thread (they're responsible for the Elevated Guideway and Stations section including five above-ground stations in Riverside-Leslieville; Gerrard; Thorncliffe Park; Flemington Park; and Science...

With Acciona being selected as a proponent for the Ontario Line, I already see the writing on the wall for that project. It's going to be delayed. The Crosstown West project I see opening close to schedule +/- 6 months. The Crosstown line is the gift that keeps giving; Verster alluded that the...

Subway and streetcar service would be shut down, and I imagine the same would be true with bus operations as well.

Late but better than never, work has begun but definitely doesn't seem very intensive at the moment. Here are some pics from today (April 18 2024):

I suppose they'd like to see some nice big developments with huge density over in Downtown Oakville instead than. Let them go cry us a river.

Great to see that many of the councillors themselves can see that the HSR isnt capable of operating an LRT system. Hopefully Metrolinx just locks in the contract to a private operator for something like 20 years so Hamiltonians wont have to deal with the idiocy that is the HSR.

Shhh you cant expose Concord and Marlin Spring like this, it's their supplier of choice. Westbank has much more dignity than that.

There's a reason we have what's called a planning department. It's there to assess the current and future needs of the city and how to accommodate those needs through the availability of land throughout the city by taking into account a plethora of factors. If the city didnt "keep land...

It's a non-starter and i'm glad you linked that image because: All that land highlighted in green is TRCA land and it's basically flood plain area. So in other words, nothing really can be developed on that land. The only land that could be developed on that site would be the portion that's...

And the longer they keep waiting to build a new stadium, the fewer and fewer options they'll have to build in other areas of the city as the city continues to develop. We're not really the kind of city that has the foresight to protect for future builds, so Downsview and the Portlands will be...

You mentioned you dont think there's anything wrong with Sugar Wharf, so I was pointing out some of the things that are wrong with it.
