At the risk of bringing this thread back to where it was one month+ ago, I am in Hamburg and have spent the last couple of days walking. I’m beside Hafen City and I’m overwhelmed at the similarities between the space here and what is planned for the Lower Don Lands. One month ago there was...

I wanted to see the progress so I took a run yesterday along the route. Below the Bermondsey Transfer Station, a ramp is being built into the side of the ravine and will be part of the bridge. There has been no progress on the underpass further south on the trail. I don’t think a November...

Sunset behind the shops.

Crews were working past 9pm on the summer solstice.

“The east tower’s lobby is inspired by the Gang of Seven”. The Group of Seven weren’t tough enough?😁

I'm a member of the congregation. This redevelopment is a legacy project. As noted in Albert C's post, the rebuild will include space for the Church and the goal is to have a fund that will allow it to operate and provide services that are needed in the community for many years into the...

I can’t think of another name in the city that is as long and difficult. Some will be intrigued and wonder about the meaning. It is a beautiful phrase that dignifies First Nation peoples. I like it👍👍!

Hey there. Here is a link to the map. https://urbantoronto.ca/map/. I can’t comment on developments at Yonge and Eg, I’ve got. I more information than you😊.

? The reports state that in phase 2 all three permanent bridges have been installed. In phase 1, one permanent bridge has been installed.

You are correct. My point is that change is a reality of doing business. A point of comparison, while not recent in Toronto it is possible for real-estate values to go down in value. Loss in value is a risk for the purchaser. A business owner faces similar risks and challenges. There is...

Some people want nothing to change. If your business is located on a busy street where a subway may be day be built, well that is your call. The Eglinton LRT was years in planning and design. Business owners could see what was coming. It should not be up to taxpayers to compensate...

You are correct that the A220 are more fuel efficient than the current fleet or airplanes in use today. They will still be less fuel efficient when compared with two or more passengers in a car. Further, if we use the future values for fuel efficiency of airplanes then we should apply the...

I did a quick search and found this at https://youmatter.world/en/plane-or-cars-which-means-of-transport-pollutes-the-most/ The “problem” is that doing these predictions (trying to creat a comparison of gag per km for different modes of transit) means taking (a lot of) assumptions. For...

I can't speak for other residents but personally I've worked with both Jaye and Denzil and can tell you that I'd much prefer Jaye!

This drives me crazy. Much of Thorncliffe (Overlea) and Flemington (Don Mills Road) is a good location for the Ontario line to be above ground because one side of the road has no residential. The Canada Line runs above ground through similar communities on it's way to the airport. It can...
