Haven't been by as of late, does anyone know what the situation at Dufferin Grove is? Have the encampments returned or has enforcement been steady since the removals in the fall.

The viability of Line 6 serving airport passengers in comparison to other existing Toronto transit services is not on topic? If you're so disturbed by the conversation feel free to close the tab.

Would be shocked if this breaks ground in even 5 years, market rents are just so low in this area. That being said, the 'bowling alley in the sky' floorplans are only making their potential rents worse.

Agreed, but again, the UPX (which I take daily) is fundamentally not the same mode of transportation as Line 6, and they have essentially no overlap in built form and level of congestion along parallel roadways.

Lyft is giving me $26, it pays to shop around😂. Anyways, this is a bit pedantic, after spending a few grand on flights and hotels, I think most people are "splurging" on the rideshare if it means not taking 400% more time to get somewhere, and not having the haul their luggage thru stations...

You can regularly drive from Union to Pearson in 30 minutes lmao? I'd like to see that, and the ensuing stunt driving ticket. You're comparing apples to oranges, the UPX is always either faster than driving, or at least takes the same amount of time during very low traffic hours. Line 6 is at...

Not to rain on your parade, but people have been getting from Pearson to VMC in 15 minutes for decades - by car. I think it's important to not get too deep into the bubble and realize that such a trip occurring in "just" an hour literally sounds like a joke to your average Joe. This will...

Over the DVP.....?

The way in which construction was handled was ridiculous, but there's a few things that make a rebuild in the east much more possible than you imply. 1) The construction in the east was never as disruptive for as long a period of time as the tunnelled section west of Laird. Regular traffic flow...

Somehow every other city on planet earth that runs trams with signal priority have figured this out. This is unashamed, rank incompetence and political cowardice in an election year, don't let them misled you into thinking this is a "technical" matter. Agree it should have been 100% grade...

Eight months to onboard an architect, for the love of god this organization needs to be rebuilt from the ground up

Thank you so much to our bike-riding, transit advocating Mayor!

Agreed, but to be fair the majority of that stretch west of Jane was not fine grain main street retail, but instead car dealerships or similar. Despite that, you are right that the frontages of the new mid-rises do look more at home fronting onto Highway 7 than in a bustling urban area. For that...
