Will there be a training period for the drivers on the bus routes that change? Or do they just send them out on the new routes on day 1 of revenue service? Has the exact routing of the changed bus service been published? I’m thinking of the 71 Runnymede route. Currently it terminates north at...

I wonder what will happen with TVO in this new scenario? I don't know the status of their lease with Oxford. They have been in 2180 for decades.

Do any of the underground Line 5 stations have kiosks in them in the paid fare zones? Like Gateway stores? Is Gateway still responsible for the stores in the existing subway? I know they had financial difficulties in 2022. I think the plans for Mt Dennis showed something - but I can’t find it now.

This project would be a boon for the area so I hate picking apart their application. But I dislike seeing poorly researched and edited documents in the application. In all my years of living in the area (20+) I have never seen a restaurant utilize the curb lane for a patio:

I agree this is a much needed addition to the neighbourhood, but 0 vehicle parking? The transportation report says there is ample on-street parking nearby for visitors and building residents, but I think most of the neighbours who already have permit parking would not agree. And I don't see the...

Gord Perks says there has been a reworking of the application and has scheduled a community consultation: "Following the resubmission of the application for 2280 Dundas St West in 2022 and recent reworking of the application, Councillor Perks, City Planning, and the applicant feel it’s...

Look for the Gardiner to be leased to Therme for 99 years. It will be renamed the Therme Expressway. All the downtown exit and entrance ramps will be closed except for one exit that leads directly to the parking lot of the new Therme Spa.

Who is handling the leasing of retail spaces in the new stations? I thought Gateway but they filed for creditor protection last year. Can't find anything on ttc.ca or MX sites.

They are finally beginning the utility relocates for the project. First up is Enbridge who are going to occupy Dundas, Scarlett and St. Clair to install some new gas mains. This was forwarded by Gord Perks...

A full scale congestion relief program could take years to implement. But consider how just the threat of a “downtown traffic fee” could cause drivers to switch to public transit. Maybe a single mobile vehicle tolling setup that could be randomly moved daily between Gardiner DVP off ramps. Any...

Will the hollow parts of the track beds get filled in? Will they be used for utilities or stormwater drainage? Might be fun for future urban explorers or DoorsOpen Toronto events? /s

Thank you for posting this. In a coincidence this project came up in a meeting the Warren Park Ratepayers Association had with Gord Perks just yesterday. He promised that the community would have advance notice of changes and be allowed to provide input on this project. In the document (...

They have sort-of done this at the intersection of Bloor (eastbound) and Parkside. I would have liked to have seen a "no right turn" on red sign placed on the nearside of the right turn lane. The existing one is included in a clutter of other directional signs. (note the vehicle in the street...

I’ve often wondered what the impetus for this project is and who is paying for it? Is it to provide a wider bridge for increased tracks for GO trains? Then shouldn’t Metrolinx be paying for it? I live in the area and I don’t really see the community benefits. Sure, there are benefits to...
