    Bradford Bypass (MTO, Hwy 400 - Hwy 404)

    That's what I've been saying! One of the major distinctions here, to me, is that there is a substantial existing population being served by this, both locals and passers-through, for trips that cannot be reasonably accommodated by public transit. It will also enable a denser built form in...

    Bradford Bypass (MTO, Hwy 400 - Hwy 404)

    You can pull an anonymous social media post to justify any position. The existence of road salt shouldn't kneecap the regional transportation network. Building the Bradford Bypass would allow Bradford to follow through with their plan to transform Dissette Street from a truck traffic sewer to a...

    Bradford Bypass (MTO, Hwy 400 - Hwy 404)

    Everyone in the towns of Bradford, East Gwillimbury, and anyone who has to travel to or through those towns on perpetually congested arterial roads. Unlike some other proposed freeways in Ontario, this one has overwhelming local support. Bring it on.

    Multiplexes

    It's hard not to look at that floor plan and think this was always the play. The layout without this addition wall is almost nonsensical - central galley kitchen with equally sized living areas on either side, a bathroom with ensuite bath on each end? The builders/developers here are making a...

    Barrie 440 Essa Road | 32.4m | 9s | One Urban | Studio JCI

    Finally peeking out above ground level now. April 17

    Barrie Mapleview Terrace Condos | 26.6m | 8s | Saverino | MCL Architects

    Today. I'm curious why the crane is still there. Nowhere better to put it?

    Collingwood Gateway Centre | 42.5m | 12s | Charis Developments | Richard Ziegler

    It seems to be a trend in Simcoe County, as far as I can tell... the vast majority of higher-density builds in Bradford in the past ten years have been retirement residences of various stripes. Younger singles, especially those who grew up in Simcoe towns, are usually either living with their...

    Eglinton East LRT | Metrolinx

    I have trouble believing that Eglinton east of Kennedy has the population or the development potential to justify a separate light rail line. The ridership converging on the corridor might be high, but I think it would make more sense to do a Mississauga Transitway-style operation in the median...

    Toronto 125 The Queensway | 164.55m | 50s | Fiera | Turner Fleischer

    Now this is an MZO I can get behind. I feel like an intelligent, respectful intensification of the area around the food terminal will never actually be proposed, so it's best to leave it alone.

    Aurora 20 & 25 Mavrinac Boulevard | 26m | 6s | TACC | Hunt Design

    Today The above pictures were taken from within the development on the west side of Mavrinac, facing east. But there are still a few lots in this section that have not been fully built, such as south of the west end of Fish Drive:

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Maybe extend it a little bit further west and it can become the Sheppard-Jane line. As long as it hits Jane and Wilson, that's where the ridership from all directions converges to go south...

    Toronto Ontario Line 3 | Metrolinx

    The homes are not going to be demolished, unless something happens during the tunnel boring that weakens their structural integrity, since it's happening relatively close to the surface directly below those homes. The block at Pape and Sammon is being demolished for constructing an auxiliary...

    Sheppard Line 4 Subway Extension (Proposed)

    Can't they just designate the part of Downsview Park Boulevard between Dufferin and Allan to be Dufferin Street?
