Hard to imagine that FIFA would contemplate another brush with the USA administration, even if they get through the 2926 WC without any more embarrassing incidents, but $$$ talk. BUT we need to give ourselves a hard shake to even contemplate a joint bid with the USA anytime this side of never.

keeping this in perspective @nightstreak we aren’t hosting the Olympics. BMO field is only hosting a few round-robin games and one(!) round of 32 games, out of a total of 104 games. At this point FIFA should be paying us to host the thing never mind creating legacy projects to commemorate this...

They look pretty good. I hope that the area is allowed to have something nice without being it tagged.

I wonder whether Queen-Spadina is excluded because of the Ontario Line construction at that intersection. There are frequent lane closures/reconfiguration and paid-duty traffic control while equipment is being delivered etc. It would complicate evaluation of the TSP changes.

Can we work out how to pay for our share of the World Cup first? QP still hasn't agreed their share of that.

OLT Merit hearing scheduled for 10th March 2026 as case OLT-26-000006

The timing is interesting, with reports that office space is now in short supply.

I am originally from the UK where these roundabouts were common. Because they are designed to speed traffic through an intersection smoothly, they tend to be quite dangerous to cyclists and pedestrians. Drivers tend to push out into the flow on the circle without looking for other users. I...

It's a shame that this one (1596 Dundas W) is being thrown up with the cheapest materials, and the least consideration to its context, possible. The Dundas and Richie building is a beaut.

There is quite a bit of information on this thread if you work backwards. One example would be this useful post from Cukilo which is two pages back… I don’t see evidence of phase 2B yet, and in the current market conditions I imagine that it is not imminent but that is amateur speculation.

The value of reinstating the grid isn't 'car-as-eyes' as much as it encourages pedestrians to walk the area. As a woman, I don't feel comfortable walking into a space unless I can see a safe exit out and whether the area in between looks safe. I walk Cameron, Vanauley and Augusta Sts all the...

I understand the value of restoring the street grid in terms of safety. It has been a game changer in similar contexts in the UK. But (and there's always a but) connecting the smaller streets e.g. Augusta through from College down to Queen is going to make them a good by-pass (rat run) to...

The Ally Park revitalization project has something like six phases and MRKT is phase 2 or 3.

But it comes down to who has Dougie’s cell phone number and how willing they are to use it.

There is also the issue that KW and Guelph have large universities, with increasing proportions of students commuting from the western suburbs in addition to the Guelph (and KW?) residents who commute into Toronto and back. The GO bus service is struggling to serve the Milton, Brampton and...
