Ford is clearly looking for stuff to fit with Carney's talk of building infrastructure. First the MTCC, now YTZ? GTAA is also looking at doing some major work at YYZ.. Porter's Embraers apparently need a ~1,500 metre runway to operate, which is about a 300 metre extension over the existing...

Yes, the province is actively planning 2+1 north of North Bay, and I don't see 4-lanes between Sault Ste Marie and Nipigon either. Most I could see long term is 4 lanes from Manitoba to Nipigon (even that would be a stretch) and Sault Ste Marie to Ottawa.. but at the pace they are going that's...

Technically there is one block left - but Concord is done their work now, yes. Only TCHC left.

A whopping 8 years after promising the highway, the province has announced that they have decided to actually start designing the 417 extension. No word on when they intend to actually build it.. The provincial slow-walk of their highways program continues...

It's not labelled probably to minimize it's visibility. It's still in the visual site plan.

This is a great point - the press release also states that total exhibition space is increasing over the old facility which is important to note. The old facility definitely had lots of poorly utilized circulation spaces.

No insider info here FYI - I'm completely guessing.. I think I've just gotten pretty good at guessing over the years..

the fourth tower must be Safari then..

This has been rumoured for years. I'm surprised we haven't heard of it sooner. I suspect the Province is going to subsidize an expansion as an economic development tool. My bet is that it's built over the rail corridor - A convention centre is actually a great air rights use over the corridor...

Design District was the branding for the first two - including "furnishings from Louis Vuitton" and "Miami, New York, and London are defined by landmarks. The time is now for the next landmark to be born." And somehow, it will be such a landmark, it will manage to "forever change" Toronto as...

Feb 2028, assuming 1.5 years construction which is probably reasonable, would put construction start in Q3 2026. So we’ll see.

With 9 year old plans 😂

With Exhibition getting subway service now I admit that Liberty is less valuable than it once was - but it would still be useful to improve access to the large amount of employment in Liberty Village for commuters.

Lamb has always loved micro units. Nothing new here

Metrolinx built an oddly low amount of parking at Confederation - I'm not surprised it's already having capacity issues. Luckily they can do the north lot expansion relatively cheaply if needed.
