Maybe because it was pre sold and mainly built during the investor box era?

Regarding the discussion about Alro to Union or bust, are Montrealers haveing the same Gare Central or bust discussion?

Maybe it's the same answer as to why all the fantasy hotel towers proposed in Niagara Falls .

Recent discussion of ring roads got me to realize that central Durham (Whitby, Oshawa, Courtice) has a freeway ring road via 401, 418, 407 and 412.

Has anyone noticed any curation to what is offered at convience/grocery stores now that we are further into this new way of selling beer/wine? I understand most stores going with best sellers at the start, but I would think some curation towards local tastes and wants would have taken place by now.

Does tolling the 401 make it unfair to the drivers who use it to go from London to Kingston, or the traffic going from Montreal to Windsor? Yes tolling 401 and adding more transit options for the traffic users originating and traveling within the GTA would be the best option, but we need to...

I'll do you one better, look at all the traffic on it right now, lol. (7:45 pm Jan 22)

A small bridge over a creek that requires a second span that won't start construction for years, perhaps? One small step for Construction, one giant leap to allow for 2WAD ?

It will only be replaced with something worse if it were to come down in any "accident"

I also have a belief that the contactors add in enough cushion that even if they end up paying all the delay or other penalties, they still are making a decent profit.

I always thought that using the the GM spur bridge was the much cheaper option and building a new bridge over the 401 was very expensive. The removal of a good chunk of the parking lot at the Oshawa Station during construction would not go over very well with the current users of the station.

What was Pyramid Place, just behind the Skylon Tower was demolished and is currently just a parking lot, as well there is lots of parking lot surrounding the Skylon Tower. This wheel could be constructed in this general area.

Even if esports ends up not being a thing, the mid sized concert/entertainment venue is a project I think worth pursuing.
